Messrs. Editors: The upper portion OF
Vermont is one ofthe pleasantest regions
mAmerica during the summer and one of
the bleakest during the winter. Itafords
ample opportunity for the tourist, proyi-
ling he chooses the proper season, But
The present time is not that season. Still
here are men and women here who not
only endure the climate, but praise it UNI.

writer heard of a striking; illustration OF
his a few days since which is given here

Mr.. Joseph jacques is connected with
lhe Vermont Central railroad in the ca
pacity OF master mason. He is we'll adj

ION and hale appearance, while his gen.
oral bearing is such as to instantly i'm
press one with his strict honor and in
tegrlty. Several years ago he became af-
alcted with the most distressing troubles,
which prevented the prosecution of his
duties. He was languid, and yet restless,
while at times dizziness would come
over him which seemed almost binding,
Ills will power was strong, and he de-
termined not to give way to the myster-
lous influence which seemed undermin.
ing his life. But the pain and annoying
symptoms were stronger than his will,
and he kept growing gradually worse.
About that time he began to notice a diff
ticulty in drawing on his boots, and it was
by the greatest effort that he was able to
force his feet into them. In this manner
several weeks passed by, until finally one
night, while in great agony, he discov-
cred that mis- feet had, in a short while.
swollen to enormous proportions. The
balance of the narrative can best be des-
cribed in his own words. He said:
"When my wife discovered the fact
that was so bloated, she sent for the
doctor Immediately. He made most
careful examination and pronounced
me in very serious condition. Not
withstanding his care, I grew worse land
the swelling of my feet gradually ex-
tended upward in my body. The top Of
my head panied me terribly; indeed, so
badly that at times it seemed almost as
If it would burst. My feet were pain-
fully cold, and even when surrounded
with hot flannels and irons felt as if a
strong wind were blowing on them.
Next my right leg became paralyzed.
This gave me no pain, but it was exceed
ingly annoying. About this time I
began to spit blood most freely,
although my lungs were in
perfect condition, and knew it did not
come from them. My physicians were
careful and untiring in their attentions,
but unable to relieve my suferings. Ny
!neighbors and friends thought 1 was dy-

now recall. At last my agony seemed to
eliminate in the most intense, sharp
pains I have ever known or heard of. If
red hot knives sharpened to the highest
degree had been run through nv body

worse. would spring up in bed, some
times as much as three feet, cry out in
my agony and long for death. One night
the misery was so intense that arose and
attempted to 60 into the next room, but
was una BILE to lift my swollen feet above
the little threshold that obstructed them.
1 fell back upon the bed and gasped in
my agony, but feltunable even to breathe.
It seemed like death.
"Several years ago Rev. DR.. J. E. Ran
kin, now Of Washington, was stationed
here as pastor of the Congregational
church. We all admired and respected
him, and my wife remembered seeing

highest terms IF preparation which had

In order that all possible facts bearing

Jailed on DR.. Oscar F. Fassett, who was

that Mr.. Jacques had most pronounced |

great abundance and that he was in con-

recovery was due to Warmers Safe Cure. |
Mr.. John w. hobart, General Manager |

that Jacques was one Of the best and most |

Mr.. James M. Eoss, assistant superin-

firm this.
I do not claim to be great discoverer
