all diseases beware of it but when you read
of pure vegetable compound which claims
to cure only certain parts of the body, and
furnishes high proof that it does this, you can
safely try it and with the assurance that it
will help you. This is just what Warner
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure does. 1t cures
all troubles of the lower portion of the body,
and none others. 1t will not cure the tooth

put your body in vigorous and healthy state

Death of Hon. Peleg Sprague.

Hon. Peleg Sprague died at his residence,
No. 20 Chestnut street, Wednesday. He was
born in Dnxbury, Mass, April %, 1893, and
graduated at Harvard College in the class of
1912, and is the last of the distinguished
class.
School he was admitted to the bar, and be-
gan the practice of his profession at Hallow-
ell Maine, meeting with marked success. In
1921 and 1922 he was member of the Maine
House of Representatives, and in 1924 was
elected to the Nineteenth Congress as a Wing
receiving a reelection to the Twentieth Con-
gress. From the Hall of Representatives he
went Immediately to the Senate. being elect
ed in 1929, and serving until Jan. /, 1885,
when he resigned After the resignation of
his seat as United States Senator he removed
to Boston. where he resumed his practice of
the law. In 1910 he was Presidential cleo
tor on the Harrison and TYLER ticket, and in
1S4l he wss appointed Judge of the United
States District Court for Massachusetts. This
office he filled with great ability until 1865,
when he resigned. His speeches, addresses
and judicial decisions have been published
in three volumes. Mr.. Sprague received the
degree of LII. ID. from Harvard University
in 1947.
Mr.. Sprague was the last surviving mem
Der of the memorable United States Senate
of 1S3O-32, which was a very able body of
men, embracing among its members the
names of Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Benton,
Wright, Hayne, Ewing, King, and others
equally celebrated. In his "reminiscences of
Daniel Webster, by the late Hon. Peter
Harvey, it is recorded that Mr.. Webster had
a very high opinion of Mr.. Sprague. ''He
told me-" says Mr.. Harvey, ''that of the
members of the United States Senate among
the first as debater was Peleg Sprague of
Massachusetts,. He is what call very elo-
quent man. He is able, a man of great dig
nifty; and there is scarcely his superior in
the Senate
For several years Judge Sprague has been
confined to his house, owing to an intliction
which deprived him of the use of his ewes.
The visits of his friends were always wei
coined, and they invariably found him happy
and communicative, accepting with great
resignation the retirement which deprived
him of many of the pleasures which would
have crowned well spent life. He is among
the last of race distinguished for probitv.
mental force and deep religious convictions.
He has outlived all of his contemporaries.
and has passed away full of years and rich in
that esteem which is won by a career alike
useful and honorable.-BoSton Journal.
