rIlg HAUNTED norsE.

Iniclligen, people have strange super.
stitions. Love Of the marvellous Is part Of
tho organization OF most people. An in
stance Of this came TO our notice a short
time since. Briefly the story is this:
Occupying modern three-story house
in thickly settled portion of a New Eng
land city, two families Of more than
average intelligence and culture have led
lives OF torture and dis,rust caused by mys'
,erious noises occurring during the night
for the past few weeks. Commencing about
lip. NJ, ut intervals Of 10 minutes, UNI
Ill o'clock. thumps we're heard sounding
like the strokes Of a sledge hammer
against the sides OF the house. Sometimes
the sounds rcsembled 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 the disturbance for which
no natural cause could be disoovered, men,
tai excitement prostrated some Of the
members Of these families and caused
them TO leave their homes. Public atten-
ton being called 10 the matter, the City
Officials made examinations of the prem
ises 10 discover 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
Someryille, Mass" We think that the
mystery which so disturbed these good peo-
pie Of Somerville might he 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
% the success attained by Browns Iron
Bitters. in its reputation for cures per-
formed and its large sales. We make
special application in this case Of its eff
fects in strengthening the Frustrated ner-
vous system and giving renewed vitalityto
the exhausted tired body. 1t does this by
its direct action upon the blood, which is
the source oflife, health and strength. All
physicians unite in the assertion that weak,
watery. Initiated blood needs Iron 10 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 as to gain Purity
and Strength without the use Of whisky
or other deleterious articles. This the
Brown Chemical Company has done in
Browns Iron Btters. 1t 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 inn
purities Of the blood are many and assume
different forms. Dyspepsia and lndiges-
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 q grip Of iron, the twinges Ofwhich
are increased by everyunfavorable change
in the weather, is the result of the i'm
proper action of the blood. The acids and
bile which are deposited in the slow,
clogged passage of the blood through the
filters Of the Liver, and It's action upon the
Kidneys, cause this torture. Browns Iron
Biuers regulates this and relieves the pa
tient. 1t cures the sufferer from Neuralgia.
Iron Bitters is a sure and Trustworthy cure.
We desire particularly TO call the at
tention of those who are subject 10 Chills
and Fevers, or any Malarial 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 lassiude-the tired feeling
and promote health. The success which
Browns Iron Bitters has attained has
caused some people unable to originate a
good thing TO attempt to initiate this.
Such limitations have been put upon the
market with the hope of deceiving the
who want this remedy, and there
by gain larger profit. See that thetrade-
mark and crossed red lines are on the
wrapper of the bottle you buy.
