Sore Eyes

9Os . 6yOo
The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of it's condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids infianed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful in
Hammation il my eyes, caused me much
suffering for a number of years. By the
advice of a physician commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine short time l was completely

THE OLD BENEDICT ARNOLD HOUSE.
The state house was first located In
New Haven in 1865. This building was
soon followed by the present one. which,
having outlived It's usefulness. Il now
only cherished as o relic Of the past. and
admired as ono Of tho finest pieces Of
Doric architecture In tho country. Too
many sacred memories cluster about tho
old shell to allow It's being pulled down,
and II will remain on the green until time
and age carry It OIL.
From the very start. the colony was Of
on educational turn Of mind. and from
the first school Of Ezekiel Cheever down
to the present grand old Yale there has
been constant growth In this line. The
Hopkins grammar school and Yale uni.
varsity bear tho names Of two Of the
earliest settlers. The story Of Yalc Is Q
familiar one. It's growth from tho little
affair at Sasbrook. Conn.,. 10 Its now nam.
moth proportions Is familiar TO most every
one. Its history was parallel with that
Of our country. Hero were trained some
Of the men who framed tho Declaration Of
Independence. Started In tho year 1901.
at neighboring village. It was moved 70
New Haven In 1910 and called yale, I"
after the name Of Its earliest benefactor.
Its founding dates back TO the reign Of
William III. From time 20 time grants
werc made. changes made. buildings
erected. until now we have tho modern
Yale university. with It's i2i professors
and i.245 students.
