The First Step for Six Years.

Many of our readers will remember the
injury of the daughter of Mr.. w. Ii. Turner
of Berlin, near Montpelier, some six years
ago. The accident caused a deformity of
the spine and total loss of sensation and
power in the lower extremities. Doctors
from far and near had exhausted their skill
and had abandoned the case as utterly
hopeless-a child of fourteen doomed to be
a cripple for life Fortunately her parents
became inspired with the hope that DIR.
Gage of 26 West Thrty-first street, New
York, the author of so many wonderful
cures in this section, might reach her case
At one of his visits to Montpelier, few
months ago, Mrs. Turner consulted him and
received encouragement. The patient could
not be carried to Montpelier, So after care
fully considering the case, the doctor de-
cided to prescribe without seeing her. His
and, under the treatment she has steadily
gained from the first. The natural feeling
soon returned to her limbs and she can now
walk with but little assistance, and her
parents are naturally overjoyed at the pros
poets of a complete restoration. Why DR..
Gage should have such remarkable success,
even without seeing the patient, is mys-
terry, to say the least. We have no theory
to advance, but simply give the plain facts
and leave our readers to draw their own
differences.

Magazine of merchant in that city who
spent eight hours in vanishing his dining
room, in the absence of his family, to find
the next day that he had mistaken maple
syrup for varnish, has just brought out this
little story, and true one, at the expense
of one of our acquaintances: His wife was
sick at one time with lung difficulty, and
was at the same time troubled with fainting
spells. For the former syrup of onions
had been prepared, and for the latter cup
of alcohol was at hand, with which to battle
her face. Awaking one night and having
occasion to use the alcohol, he mstook the
cup, and made an application of the syrup
to the face of his fainting companion-a fact
to which she awoke," in due time, at least
so far as the drying syrup would allow her
eyes to open. This would be a case, we

RHEUMATISM usually settles in the back
or limbs and often so completely overpowers
its victims that all business or labor has TO
be abandoned. Our readers should remem-
Der that Hoods Sarsaparilla is not recon-
mended as positive specific for rheuma-
tism; its proprietors doubt if there is, or can
be, such a remedy But many people who
were most severely afflicted state that they
have been positively cured by Hoods Sar-
saparila. The disease is often the result of
medicine over IL. Its success in many severe
cases justihes us in recommending its use
to all sufferers from rheumatism. One hun
