Obituary.

1t is with pain that we publish the death Of
Eddie, the little son of Frank Milliken, propri-
etor Of Milliken's hotel, who died on Thursday
morning OF typhoid malaria. He was a very
promising boy Of six years, and had all the
lovely and interesting traits without those that
are disagreeable in human nature. He seemed
so well fitted for useful manhood that all who
knew him will regret his death, and deeply
sympathize with his bereaved parents. Ser
vice will be held at the house on Sunday, at 4
p. m, after which the remains will be con-
veyed to Camden, Me-, and buried beside q
little sister and grandpapa.

The greatest remedy of modern times, for
the immediate alienation of pain and positive
quick cure, is without doubt, Benson's capcine
porous plasters. The public appreciates arti-
cles OF true merit. Thousands of physi-
clans and druggists speak in glowing terms of
their great curative properties, who know
them tobe superior to any other known medicine.
and who unhesitatingly recommend them from
honest motives. They cure chronic and local
diseases which other porous plasters simplyre-
lieve. Rheumatism, neuralgia, severe and
continuous aches and pains, pleurisy, lumbago,
sciatics, and all diseases in which porous
plasters have been valued, are by Renson's
capcine porous plaster instantly relieved and
quickly cured. Their reputation is without a
parallel in the history of true medicine; their
action is more powerful than electricity, and
yet they are purely vegetable and contain no
mineral or metallic poisous. Try them and
YOU will not be deceived. Price 25 cents.
