For the relief and cure of the Inflammation
and congestion called a ''cold in the head" there
is more potency in Ely's Cream Balm than in
anything else it is possible to prescribe. This
preparation has for years past been making a
brilliant success as remedy for cold in the head,
catarrh and hay fever. Used in the initial stages
of these complaints Cream Balm prevents any
serious development of the symptoms, while
almost numberless cases are on record of radical
cures of chronic catarrh and hay fever after all
other modes of treatment have proved of no avail.

has been in the past, the leading re-
publican and family newspaper of this
section.
The new company is composed of
enterprising and influential business
men of Montpelier and vicinity, which
gives good assurance that the WATCH
MAN establishment will be put upon
a sound business foundation and that
its facilities and patronage will be
much increased. Their knowledge of
the needs of the community and their
extensive business and social relations
will enable them more fully to meet
the journalistic requirements of the
locality than l have been able to do.
They have also arranged for the pur-
chase of the property of the Rural
Vermonter, and that paper will be
merged in the WATCHMAN. AS it is
perfectly apparent that this field is
not large enough for the adequate
support of two republican papers, the
proposed consolidation must be, finan-
cially and otherwise, of great adj
vantage to the general public.
In retiring from this field, beg to
return my sincere thanks for the favors
and courtesies of which | have been the
recipient; and in severing my pleas
ant and cordial relations with the en-
ployes of the WATCHMAN office, l de-
sire to say that I shall always treasure
the kindest memories of their esteem
and good will. d. w. DIXON.
