i. oNGEvITY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Statistics show that New Hampshire is
prominently the home of the centenarian,
nonagenarian and octogenarian, of hale
and hearty old men who began life with
the republic. Indeed, SO numerous are
the veterans of the war of 1912 in some of
the,remote towns of the Granite State that
popular impression prevails there that
'the last war;" as it is still called by these
warriors Of bygone days, was fought en-
tirely by New Hampshire regiments, and
that from Lundys Lane to the battle of
New Orleans they carried the American
banner to the front on every hard contest-
ed field. Many theories have been spun
as to why people should live to lie older
in New Hampshire than in Vermont or
Maine. Of course, there must be some good
reason for it. Perhaps it is because they
take better care of their health and under
stand what is the right medicine for the
right disease. Such at least would seem
to he the inference from the following ac-
count by Charles NJ. Lampney, Esq, a we'll
known attorney and COUNSELLOR OF Hamp-
ton, \. H., OF how he was cured Of rheu-
matism:
81 have had several attacks of rheuma-
ti,m within the last thirty years. he says
"and have got rid of them the best | could
with the help of good physicians. The
last attack, which began in April, 1884,
Was the severest. l was daily under the
,lrc Of the doctor, who gave me the best
attention to relieve me of the severe pain
and to relax the contracted muscles. | was
taken in the back of the neck. In a few
days the pain moved down into the limbs,
and in the course of three weeks had run
all through the joints from head to foot.
At the commencement of the fourth week
it had apparently settled down to stay all
! over me from the back Of the head to the
toes, and | was unable to move any part
of the body except the right hand at the
wrist joints The day before, Deacon
Hobbs, Il neighbor, who had been suffering
/ for several months with rheumatism, sent
and that it was doing him good. Ny father
/ accordingly sent to Boston for a bottle. 1t

the evening and found me lying in bed
| like corpse.

Of course was ready to take anything in
hopes that it might do some good. \ dose
was administered and three hours later
another. My hearing became obtuse and
my head confused. ldropped into a sleep
and slept all night. The next morning
after waking | had no pain and could
move any part of the body. In the course
of three hours | sat up in bed without any
assistance. | continued to take the lnedi-
cine every three hours through the day
and a part of the next day and then
stopped.
