Rheumatism

Uusually settles in the back or limbs, ard
often completely overpowers its victims
that all business or labor has to be abandon
ed. Our readers should remember that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is not recommended as
positive specific for rheumatism; its proprie-
tors doubt fthere is or can, be such remedy.
But many people who were most severely
afflicted, state that they have been positively
cured by Hoods Sarsaparills. The disease
is often the result of impure blood Hence
the power of this great medicine over it. Its
success in many severe cases justifes us in
recommending its use to all sufferers from

One of the most closely contested law suits
IN which Kennebec ice companies were con-
cerned tried for many years, has just been
decided in favor of the plaintiffs, the parties
being the Centennial Ice Co. of Gardiner,
VS.. Baker and others of Providence. X.
The case has been in litigation since 1873
and has created much interest among Ken
nebec ice men. The facts are that the Gen.
tennal Co. made a contract with the defend
ents TO deliver 5000 tons of ice to them the
LIST day of October. 1873. When the time for
delivery came, Baker & Co. refused to take
the ice. Shortly afterwards the price went
down and the plaintiffs were unable to dis
pose of their product without great loss.
They accordingly sued for damages and were
finally awarded 81 ton or a total of $4,000.
Mr.. Frank Stevens of Piuston managed the
case for the Centennial Company.
