Aessrs. Editors: The upper portion of Yer
mont is one of the pleasantest regions IN Amer
ica during the summer and one of the bleak
est during the winter. 1t affords ample or.
poitunity for the tourist, providing he chooses
the proper season, but the present time it
not that season. Still there are men and
women here who not only endure the climate,
but praise it unstintingly, and that too, in the
race OF physical hardships the most intense
Inc writer heard of striking illustration OF
this few days since which ls given herewith:
MIR. Joseph Jacques is connected with the
Vermont Central Railroad in the capacity OF
master mason. He is we'll advanced in wears,
with ruddy complexion and hale appearance,
while his general bearing is such as to instant-

with most distressing troubles, which pre-.
vented the prosecution of his duties. He was

this manner several weeks passed by, unit,

"Seyerai years ago Rev. DR.. j. Z. Rankin,
now OF Washington, was stationed here as pas.

mired and respected him, and my wife remem-

the presence OF albumen aud casts in great
abundance and that he was in q condition
where few il any ever recover. His recovery
was due to Warmers Safe Cure.
MIR. John w. Hobart, general manager Of the
Vermont Central Railroad, stated that Mr..
Jaques was one Of the best and most faithful

remedy that can accomplish so much in the las.
stages ought to do even more for the first ap-
