LONGEVITY IN NEw.HAMPsHIRR.

Statistics show that New Hampshire is e-eminently 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 a popular impression prevails there that sfthe last war;" as it is still called by these warriors of bygone days, was fought en- tirely by New Hampshire regiments, and that from Lundy's 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 be 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 be the inference from the following ac- count by Charles M. Lampney, Esq, a we'll known attorney and counsellor, of Hamp- ton, N. H., of how he was cured of rheu- matism

The day before, Deacon Hobbs, neighbor, who had been suffering for several months with rheumatism, sent me word that he was taking Athlophoros and that it was doing him good. My father accordingly sent to Boston for 8 bottle It was brought into the house at 8 o'clock in the evening and found me lying in bed ikea corpse.
