COMES TO THE RESCUE

No human being is exempt from disease. The
most powerful and apparently healthy have no
guarantee that their strength win not be taken
from them and their bodies wasted BY some
loathsome disease. Few who are in health
consider their liability to disease or pay At
tentiOn to the ills Of their suffering fellow

physique could apparently defy the raw
ages Of disease and pain, aad whose muscles
women are heir to, yet she for three long years

BILE condition imaginable, when she applied to
Mrs. L d. Auberry, who resides At Mereer,Pa
Mrs. A had been afflicted with hemorrhoidS
for a number Of years without paying very
much attention to them. But as the years
went by the disease began to grow upon her.
Pile-tumors began to make their appearance az
each movement of the bowels. These tumorg
began to iI increase IN size. and whsn prelApsed
suffering which she experienced from
them, together with the loss Of blood,
from repeated hemorrhages gradually UNDER
mined her nervous system until she became .
physical wreck. She became weak and langufd.
The least physical exertion caused great
fatigue. She lived in constant fear that some
thing dreadful was about to happen. She suf-
fered from melancholy, and felt that she would
never get we'll A feeling would come
over her that she was alone in the world, and
life. She had tried the Skill Of so many physi-
clans without finding relief that she
had given up al hopes Of ever being
restored to health. In connection with hBmorr.
holds she suffered from female weakness
in its worst form, and had become 50
thoroughly discouraged that she had given up
in despair. Hearing of the remarkable cures
that are being made by DR.. Smith, the mag
netlc physician, at No. 6O2 Penn ave, she de-
cided to consult him, and make one more
effect to be restored to health. She did so,
and began treatment April g. Mrs. Auberry Is

This is but one case among hundreds. The
doctors offiees are crowded daily with orippleS

disease escapes the influence Of the magnetic
touch, and no person need despair Of receiving
benefits therefrom. No. matter what the con-
dition or how long you have been sick, there IL
hope left. No matter what other physicians
have failed to do, or what prejudieed people
say, Mrs. Auberry had been under the care Of
several eminent physicians before coming to

WELL INTO A SECOND CENTURY,
Two Women, Lively as Crickets, Celebrate
Their 1O2d Birthdays.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE p1sPATcu
ANsoNIA, CONN, May 1.-Two aged
women have celebrated their birthdays the
past week, and it is coincidence that each
has begun on her 1O3d year. Last Monday
Mrs. Mehitable Straton Dayton, of South
Glastonbury, received congratulations on
her 102d birthday. During the day hun
dreds of people from Hartford, Meriden
and neighboring towns called, and the
day was one long reception, at the close of
which Mrs. Dayton said she was no more
tired than on any day. Mrs. Dayton is
slightly deaf, but with this exception her
faculties are unimpaired, her eyesight being
remarkably good-better, in fact, than in
people half her age. Her mind is active
and clear. She reads the newspapers as
regularly as they come, and is able to main
tain an argument on local affairs with any
one. She has been widow 40 years.
Last Saturday Mrs. Betsy Averill, who
has before been mentioned in THE DIS
PATCH, celebrated her 102d birthday in the
home of her son, Deacon S. j. Averill, in
New Preston. In the same house resides
her grandson, II. o. Averill, and her great
grandchildren are also sheltered by the same
roof. Mrs. Averill's birthday is on Nav 8.
but it was celebrated on Saturday this year.
A reception was held at which her relatives
and friends attended from New Milford.
Brookfeld, Sherman and Danburv. The
occasion was merry one. and Mrs. Ayeril
was not the least lively person present. Her
faculties are unimpaired, not even deaf
ness troubling her.

term of one year, any suit costing $40 or

Not Even Babies Eyes Are Injured By the
LATTER Like the Former.
By some physicians it is thought that
many cases of near-sightedness are directly
caused in infancy by children gazing at the
sun. While the maids push the babies
perambulators through the parks on Sunny
days, the little innocents with upturned
eyes stare at the blazing face of heaven.
The question was suggested to Mr..
Steiren, optician, and he rather secuted the
idea. "Of Ofcourse," said he, "the hot suns
rays are injurious to the eyes at any stage;
but, further than causing a little soreness
of tho lids, do not think any injury results
to the optics. The pupil Of the eye is not
permanently injured, and the idea that it
would be scorched is ridiculous. The
nerves of the eye are very easily affected,
but not to any such degree as that which
you say the suns glare would cause.
earsig ghtedness in numerous cases Is
hereditary; but the loss Of close vision can
to habits and fancies Of life.
Anything which is detrimental to the ner-
vous system will be in sympathy with the
eye, which is practically network of
nerves. Cigarette smoking, think, Is very
damaging to the eyes, as we'll as to the
whole nervous system"

''Last nights food was benefit to man
kind" said clerk in the Bureau of Health
yesterday. "No, not merely because it
washed out the sewers, but chiefly for the
reason that there was not vacant lot in the
city that was not washed nearly clean of its
purifying garbage.
''It is was not swept clear down the riv-
ers, the stuff was carried out into the streets,
where 1t is more easily seen, and of course
will be quickly removed now. In tene-
ment house sections such rainfall has done
more than corps of sanitary inspectors
could have accomplished in months.''

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

Mrs. Hoyt's artistic tastes have carried
her into the industrial arts; q skillful
worker herself, she has been the means of
enlisting a number of other people, and
particularly in the training of young boys
whom the laws of apprenticeship have ex-
cluded from trades. Her children are
taught to share in these tastes. The school
room was not only fitted up with the necessi-
ties for mental training, but was also a
workshop. Here the boys worked in iron,
and the girls had their wood carving tables
served their hours, and fashioned many
cunning things.
Children who are educated in this way
are placed under charge Of Swiss or Ger
