Much of the distress and sickness attrbu.
ted to dyspepsia. chronic diarrhea and other
causes is occasioned by humor in the stom-
ach. Several cases. with all the character
istics of these complaints, have been cured
by Hoods Sarsaparilia. Other cures effected
BY this medicine are SO wonderful that the
simplest statement of them affords the best
proof that it combines rare curative agents
and when once used secures the confidence

A Strange Performance with A Corpse,

n
A Bangor dispatch to the Boston Post says
that few weeks since an old lady of respect
able family connections. living in the neigh
boring town of OrOno, was taken ill and died
Living in the same house were two maiden
ladies of somewhat advanced age and of &C.
centric habits After the death of the old
lady the two old maids placed the corpse in
cold place that it might be frozen. Ii was
kept there for several days. as the story
goes. unit! it was frozen stiff. In the mean
time it was nosed about that the old lady
had died. but no funeral services having been
held. much curiosity began to be manifested
by the towns people as to what had been
done with the remains. On the ninth DAY
after the death of the old lady resident of
the village visited the house where the death
had occurred, which was situated at some
distance from the village proper, and to her
great horror found the corpse upon lounge
in the house, a shawl over it. and on Its
| head hood. A hot brick was at its feet
| The two old maids were sitting by as un
concerned as though nothing unusual hae
bappened. When asked what they meant
by such strange actions, they replied II
substance that they dressed up the old lad,
| 90 as TO have her look natural. y ''She looked
kind of cold" added one of the old maids
