THE HAUNTED HOUSE.

Intelligent people have strange super
stitions. Love ofthe marvellous is part Of
the organization Of most people. An in
stance Of this came 10 our notice a short
time since. Briefly the story is this:
Occupying a modern three-story house
in thickly settled portion Of New Eng
land city, two families Of more than
average intelligence and culture have led
livesoftorture and distrust caused by mys-
terious noises occurring during the night
for the past few weeks Commencing about
lip. NJ. at intervals offs to s minutes, I'M
til o'clock, thumps were heard sounding
like the strokes of a sledge hammer
against the sides ofthe house. Sometimes
the sounds resembled a low rumble, then
were louder, like the beating of bass
drum. Pictures were frequently thrown
down from the walls and once the house
was shaken 10 its foundation. Unable
longer TO endure thedisturbance for which
no natural cause could bediscovered, men,
tai excitement Frustrated some of the
members Of these families and caused
them to leave their homes. Public atten-
ton being called to the matter, the City
Officials made examinations of the prem
ises to discover a cause for these noises
in defective water, gas or sewer pipes,
but without avail. They still continued
and the house now unoccupied has become
the object Of public curiosity and enjoys
the distinction of the" Haunted House of
Somerville, Mass" We think that the
mystery which so disturbed thesegood peo-
pie of Somerville might be ascribed in
part to their mental condition, resulting
from physical exhaustion and Frustrated
nerves. Leaving this mystery unsolved, as
have all those who have investigated it,
we turn your attention to another matter
not mysterious, but wonderful. We refer
TO the success attained by Browns Iron
Bitters, in its reputation for cures per-
formed and its large sales. We make a
special application in this case of its eff
fects in strengthening the Frustrated ner-
vous system and giving renewed vitality to
the exhausted tired body. 1t does this by
its direct action upon the blood, which is
the source oflife, health andstrength. All
physicians unitein theassertion that weak,
watery, vitiated blood needs Iron to fur
nish the necessary strength to carry on its
work. The trouble has always been to
properly combine this with true Altera-
tives in such a manner ms to gain Purity
and Strength without the use of whisky
or other deleterious articles. This the
Brown Chemical Company has done in
Browns Iron Bitters II is the best
strengthening and purifying medicine
known. 1t is the only iron preparation
which will not cause Headache and Con.
stipation. Diseases which result from i'm
purities of the blood are many and assume
different forms. Dyspepsia and Indiges-
ton are among them. So are Rheumatism
and Neuralgia. The action of Browns
Iron Bitters promotes Digestion and cures
Dyspepsia. Rheumatism, holding the suf-
ferer in grip ofiron, the twinges ofwhich
are increased by every uniavorablec change
in the weather, is the result Of the inn
proper action of the blood. The acids and
bile which are deposited in the slow,
clogged passage ofthe blood through the
filters of the Liver, and its action upon the
Kidneys, cause this torture Browns Iron
Bitters regulates this and relieves the pa
tient. 1t cures the sufferer from Neuralgia.
You need experiment no more, Browns
Iron Bitters is sureand trustworthy cure.
We desire particularly to call the at
tention of those who are subject to Chills
and Fevers, or any MalariaI Fevers, to the
benefit to be obtained by the use of
Browns Iron Bitters. 1t is specific in
Malaria, leaving none of the unpleasant
after effects of Quinine. It's cure is speedy
and sure and the system is strengthened
and enabled to resist future attacks. Use
it in Spring Fever, it will drive away the
feeling of lassitude-the tired feeling
and promote health. The success which
Browns Iron Bitters has attained has
caused some people unable to originate
good thing to attempt to initiate this.
Such limitations have beenput upon the
market with the hope of deceiving the
sufferers who want thisremedy, and there
by gain larger profit. Seethat the trade
mark and crossed red lines are on the
wrappers of the bottle you buy.
