FOR OLD PEOPLE!

In old people the nervous system is
weakened, and that must be strengthened.
One Of the most prominent medical
writers Of the day, in speaking Of the
prevalence of rheumatic troubles among
the aged, says: " The various pains. rheu.
matte or other, which old people often
complain Of, and which materially disturb
their comfort, result from disordered
nerves" There it is in nutshell
the medicine for old people must be a
nerve tonic, Old people are beset with
constipation, hatulency, drowsincss, diar-
rhra, indigestion, rheumatism, neuralgia.

Discussed By She Health Board-The
 Typhoid Fever Nos Spreading.
 At meeting of the board of health last night report was made of the unsanitary condition of the cellars of the block at 48, 52, 56 and 60 Congress avenue, owned by R. M. Burwell. Whenever there is @ rain shower these cellars are flooded with water, which comes from the water closets that are in the cellar. The pipes which connect them with the sewer are broken. The inspector thought that the closets should be abolished
 MT. Burwells son was present and said that considerable money had been paid out for the construction of the closets, but that they had all been broken, owing to the way that the sewer is constructed. The water backs up and acts in the capacity of ram
 breaking and disconnecting the pipes. He said that that was the way the city of New Haven had treated them. He stated that tho closets would be taken out, 30 that the board would have no trouble in that respect. Health Officer Williston reported that since September 10 there have been 19 cases ot typhoid fever, while there have been more o1 diphtheria. The fever has been confined te the same locality since breaking out. He said that the north and northwestern part ot the city was comparatively free from dis. eases.
 The board, in executive session, discussed the matter of having an ordinance whicl shall require better plumbing in houses Most of the contagious diseases are supposed to come from defective plumbing.

 When Washington F. Wilcox was nonai- mated by the Democrats at their congressional convention many Republicans and not few Democrats said thas it meant the election of Republican congressman in this district and that they thought the defeat of James P. Pigott would oa1se split in the Bemdcratic party in this city and in fact it looked that way, for many of Pigott's supporters asserted publicly that they would knife" Willcox. Yesterday MT. Willcox was in the city to look over the situation. He met Hon. James Gallagher, who was the one that put Mr. Pigott's name before the convention. Mir. Gallagher assured MT. Wilcox that New Haven's Democracy would stand by him. While they were talking Mr. Pigott came along. He stopped and shook. hands with MT. Wilcox and congratulated the latter on his nomination. They had short chat and later MT. Wilcox called upon Town Agent Reynolds, who was one of the leaders of the Pigott delegation. This looks as if after all the Democrats were patching up their differ ences and that the Pigott delegation will put their shoulders to the wheel and work for Wilcox. eBut no fellow can tell until after election, said 6 prominent ward politician who heard of kha nrocaadinpa
