CONSUMPTION

Is fully established. What a scourge upon
the human race and with what dread is an
outburst of the disease anticipated! Yet
so common is it that nearly every family
has been called upon to mourn the loss of
some member who succumbed a victim to
its resistless and relentless grasp. Author
tiles disagree regarding the pathology or
cause of Pulmonary Consumption, one as
sorting it to be the deposit of tubercular
substance within the lungs, dependant
upon a specific alteration or disease oft the
blood, others considering it entirely de-
pendant upon and resulting frosl an in
Illumination beginning in the nasal cavi-
ties and subsequently reaching the lungs,
or rs sequel to Inflammation commence
ing in the lung substance itself The latter
hypothesis seems most probable, mas
much as persons residing in certain por-
tions of Europe seldom or never have the
disease, and those in whom it really eX-
lists, in different places, have been entire
" cured by change of residence to this
locality. In examination of persons after
death land this Is the only correct method
of determining a pre-existing diseasel al
most invariably are discovered unmistak-
once existed; and whore death occurs
from Phthisis Consumption the inflam-
nation has progressed to liberation and
complete destruction of the parts affect
ed but when death has occurred from
other causes, it is not uncommon to find
scars situated in different parts of the
lungs, which are evidences of consump-
ton having existed and a cure effected.
Then if Pulmonary Consumption be de-
pendent upon Inflammation of tissues
composing the lung substance, why should
it not be equally amenable to treatment,
with the same disease affecting like mem
branes in other portions of the body !?
Certainly it is, and modern scientific re-
search has discovered and provided for
our use AtomiZers, Inhalers or similar in
struments by which we are enabled to
make direct local applications of remedies
to the affected parts. And l have no hes
itancy in saying that the means now at
our disposal place the first and second
stages OF consumption completely under
control. The natural course of this dis
ease occasions general debility and de-
cay, hence the use of constitutional RENE
dies in conjunction with local applications
must always be employed.

day. He has, as relic, a half-sheet of
THE HERALD containing the obituary of
his sister Eleeta, dated May, 1903, which
is of great interest to lovers of old
things. He has his grand fathers old
s'book of account" hundred years old,
kept in pounds, shillings and pence. He
called attention to his ''old apple tree"
which is about hundred years of age.
1t is gigantic specimen and between
three and four feet in diameter
Many years ago he was one of the
heaviest farmers in the State, when he
carried on between six and seven hun
dred acres of land. The wool business
used to be his forte He is the Oldest
blooded sheep grower in America. At
present he does not care to carry on but
a very small farm, leaving active bust
ness to be done by younger genera
ton.
During his prime. he held many
town offices He was Justice of the
peace and selectman and overseer of the
poor six or seven years. He was deputy
resting Wheeler who killed Osborn IN a
fracas at Patch Hollow, in this town.
He used to be an intimate acquaint-
l.
many interesting anecdotes about him.
His hospitable mansion used always to
be kept open during the ''good old
times" when his family of children and
their associates were with them.
He has been married to his gentle wife
forty-six years. Her maiden name was
Simon Smith, of Plainfield, n H. They
had fnnr nhi11ron how onH fh
girls, none of whom are living. A son
and daughter died in infancy. Two
daughters lived to later years but died in
of n. T. Sprague, Jr., of Brandon, the
other of A. d. Smith, of Clarendon.
His brother, Marcus Hull, is probably
the oldest merchant in the State, now
doing business in Hinesburgh. His old
father and mother were both for many
years members of the Congregational
church here. They died here, both of
them, under his care, the father aged
seventy-nine and the mother ninety-twO.
Mr.. Hull's health is quite poor at pres
ent. They are all alone in the world,
with not living child or relation of any
kind with them to cheer them up. This
makes it very lonely for them in the
''evening of their days" They live
chiefly in the past, and their greatest
source of pleasure is now dwelling with
fond memories upon the happy scenes
in which they once participated. How
short and how fleeing is life, is what
all the aged are saying. A few more
months or years and their work will be
done, and the places that now know
them will know them no more forever.

For the Herald
AN OLD HERALD SUBSCRIBER INTERVIEWED

AN OLD HERALD SUBSCRIBER INTERVIEWED
We recently had an interesting con-
versation with our venerable townsman,
Alfred Hull, Esq, who, with perhaps
half dozen others, are the only surViy-
ing links that now bind us to former
generation, and these will soon pass
away. We write the following items
for your benefit:
His father, Richard Hull, moved to
Wallingford from Cheshire, Conn, in
1888 and he was soldier of the Revolu-
ton. Alfred was born in 1894, in lit
tie log cabin, (when there were but four
or five houses in the village,) which
stood but few feet from his present
residence. 1t is very rare that person
seventy-nine years old can be found who
has spent his whole life on the same
farm on which he was born.
He was born the same year the Rut-
land HERALD was first published that is
now in its seventy ninth volume. His
father was a subscriber commencing
with the first number, and it has been
taken in the family, by father and son,
without any stoppage, ever since, to this

An interesting address was deliver
ed at the recent meeting of the Maine
Editors Association, at Augusta, by
Joseph Griffin of Brunswick, veteran
editor. Some notable facts were given.
Maine, for instance, has produced 472
authors and 1,340 books and pamphlets.
This does not include editors or literary
men writing books after leaving the
State. Only seven among fifty editors

Now AND THEN.-The Montpelier
argus, speaking of the meeting of the
State Teachers Association recently held
in Rutland says: DR.. Spalding, Of
Barre, the veteran teacher and friend of
education in Vermont, attending the
convention of teachers held last week at
Rutland, where one hundred and fifty
were present and all the preparations
FOR their entertainment were the most
ample, was reminded of a similar con-
Yention held there twenty years ago,
when he himself swept the old court
room to render it barely decent for their
uses, and then rang the bell to call the
dozen or fifteen members together; and
also of another held year or two later,
in Barre, when the entire party found
entertainment at his own house. Very
likely he thinks ''times ar'n't now as
they used to was been.
