The impression has prevailed that
South Woodstock is not of easy access
by public conveyance. This objection is
now removed. Two mail stages leave
here every forenoon except Sunday, and
return the same day. The Hartland at
3 o'clock in the afterno BON, and the stage
from Charlestown, N. H., via Spring
field and FelchviDle, at s p. NJ. This
stage comes from Woodstock every morn
ing at six o'clock. The best way to come,
however, is by railroad to Hartland, and
from there it is only eight miles by stage.
This stage makes close connections with
the mail trains both north aud south, as
they pass each other at Hartland at one
o'clock p. NJ. E.B.

Cause of Sleeplessness.

DR.. Duckworth, in the British Medi-
cal Journal, calls attention to some
causes of insomnia, which, be thinks,
are hardly sufficiently recognized or ad-
equately met by the resources of practi-
cal medicine. Recent researches have
clearly shown that the brain is compare
lively an@mic during sleep, and that the
blood thus removed from the head is
more freely supplied to the viscera and
integuments. The most constant cause,
and certainly the most frequent accom-.
paniment of sleeplessness, is an opposite
condition, or one of active and cerebral
circulation. A species of nocturnal dys-
pepsia, mild in its character, and pro-
ducing no actual suffering, may some
times give rise to persistent insomnia.
There may be no symptoms beyond dry
ness of the mouth, burning of the soles
of the feet, and heat and throbbing in
in the head, and these are probably due
to too acid condition of the con tents
of the stomach and upper part of the
intestines, caused generally by excess in
fatty and high seasoned food, in fruit,
and in various wines. Sleeplessness may
be due to bodily and mental overex.
haustion, which results in an increased
flow of blood to the brain, consequent
upon vasomotor paralysis. Again it
may be the result o. mere habit, as in
those cases where there has been long
course of broken rest; it may be caused
by persistent odors, by certain effluvia,
by the absence of moisture in the air of
a sleeping apartment, or by an improper
elevation or depression of the head. The
treatment in most OF these cases should
of course be directed to the removal of
the cause; but, when ii is found neces-
sary to give drugs, bromide of potassium
and chloral hydratetare are the best
both having been shown to diminish the
amount of blood circulating through
the brain.

Ruined by Vinegar Drinking
South Woodstock.

A father writes the following in the
Reading (Pa) Eagle: The following
facts have recently learned, and | give
them to you, hoping that you will inves-
tigate the matter further and publish the
result for the benefit of the many who
are either directly or indirectly con-
cerned. My daughter, at the age of 10
last December, weighed 100 pounds.
Since then / have noticed gradual fall
ing off; she became thin, pale and COM
paratively emaciated her customary
healthy appearance had entirely disap-
peared, and, astonishing to relate, she
now only weighs 1l5 pounds, having lost
pounds in the short space of
six months, and during the entire time
my wife or myself have not known our
daughter to be i'll single day. We
we're at loss to account for this singu-
Jar change, and after discussing the mat
ter we determined to solve the mystery.
Our daughter at first evaded direct an
swer, but she finally divulged her secret.
She says that on the LIST of January she
determined, if possible, to reduce her
weight. She was told by fortune-teler
to drink strong vinegar in limited doses
before her meals three times day. This
she foolishly did, and continued on for
months. Now she is completely broken
down in health-dyspeptic, nervous, leth-
argic and generally respondent. Her
color is gone, her eyes dull, and all am
bition seems to have departed. She says
there are other girls of her acquaintance
that are practicing the same thing, but
with what ruinous results have not as
yet been able to learn. / enclose you
the names of several young ladies and
two married women who, l am told, can
be placed in the same category as my
daughter. The names, together with my
own, you will please not publish but be
kind enough to inquire into the subject
for the benefit of your many readers.

The Aldine for August.

There is much in an artistic way In
the Aldine which will delight all lovers
of the beautiful. Nothing more grace
full or charming has ever been seen in an
American magazine than the full-page
picture called The Village Beauty"
drawn and engraved by the eminent
French artist, G. Metals. The flowers
and shrubbery by which she is surround
ed, the naturalness of the drapery in
which she is clothed, the rustic path she
treads, the innocent expression of her
face, all combine to make rare and
lovely picture. This work has been en-
graved in delicate and exquisite style,
resembling bank note engravings. Mr..
j. d. Woodward contributes a series of
grand and bold pictures of the Palisades
of the Hudson, some of the most strik-
ing scenery in America. The full-page
picture of the Pinnacles of the Palis-
AIDES is massive and solid in appear
ance, and will give the reader new idea
of these great towers Of stone. Two
large pictures, contributed by Peter Mo-
ran, called "The Shady Lane" and "The
Sunny Slope" are sure to arrest the at
tention and please the eye, since they
represent pastoral scenes with which all
Americans are familiar. The cattle and
sheep in the woods, or seeking the brook
side for water, are true to life and full of
the spirit of summer time. A picture,
full-page, remarkable for its light and
shade, its rich foliage, and deep, clear
waters, is from the pencil of Kruseman
van Elten, and is view on Esopus
Creek, near Kingston, N. Y. The other
illustrations in this number consist of
three fine views of Westminster Abbey,
a portrait of Augustin DAILY and "The
Breakfast by Epp, German artist.
The literary contents Of the August Al
dine, consist Of seventeen articles, all
original, and all replete with interest.
Joseph Watson writes of William
Hogarth Fannie Roper Feudge has
an article on White Elephants; Eu.
genie Foa relates an interesting incident
in the life of Ludwig Won Beethoven"
Mrs. M. E. w. Sherwood has story
called my Only Ghost" j. G. Stock.
bridge has an essay called Memories of
Fiesole," and Mrs. E. w. Winthrop, SIS
ter of the lamented Theodore Winthrop,
has an article on American English
and English English" DR.. Fuller
Walker has second article on West
minister Abbey. The poems and numer-
Gus editorial articles in the August AL
dine are of the usual merit and interest.
