PEOPLE PAY HEAVY BILLS

For medical attendance and medicine. Sick
ness il expensive and thase with small incomes
feel this burden keenly. The physician must
sometimes be called but he Is not needed one
tenth as often as many think. What isrequir-
ed is a family medicine, one that will relieve
and cure those ailments that are liable to come
al any season and to attack both sexes and all
ages. Amid the host of articles that are offer
ed TO the public for this purpose nearly all are
useless or worse than useless. 1t Is no vain
boast to say that the medicine herein mention
ed is of a very different character. What il
has done is known 10 multitudes OF persons
whom il has cured of weary and painful dis
ease. Ii has saved time and money and many
dear and precious lives. Now please under
stand that as the life is in the blood so disease
and death are in the blood Get the poison out
of the blood and life and health az once returns
to evers part Of the body. Dr. Brown 5 Sarsa-
parilla does this work quickly and surely
through its direct and positive action upon the
stomach. bowels, kidneys. liver and skin. For
an waste and corrupt elements must be east off
by means of these channels. Rheumatism,
scrofula, bronchitis, govt consumption, mala-
ria, catarrh, hay fever, all skin affections and
eruptions are diseases of the blood.
Mr. Geo III. Wish of the firm of lhaxter d

After taking Browns Sarsaparilla a short time
he was better and soon the eruption disappear
ed and he is now all right This is only one of
a thousand victories gained by Browns Sarsa-
parilla.

Early DAYS in Pomfret.

Two brothers named Smith who once
lived in this town were out coon-hunt-
ing one evening in the fall on range of
hills running through the north part Of
this town aud the south part of Sharon,
which ia some places present features
more beautiful by day aud at distance,
than at night when in as close proximity
as our friend was on this particular
night. 1t happened that near one of the
most rugged places Of this range our
friends had got a pretty close haul on
the coon and were scrambling along the
best they could through bushes, over
rocks and the PROSTATE forms Of uproot-
ed and dead fallen trees when suddenly
the one ahead disappeared over a cliff of
rocks, having in the darkness and haste
gore to the edge and fallen over in pur-
suit of the coon, he had no sooner disap-
peared than, fearing that his brother
might jump too, he shouted back to his
brother, "llold on Hoseal don't jump !
haven't struck bottom yet"

Mr.. Josesh Jefferson has been engaged for a
number OF years upon his autobiography, which
will soon begin to appear in the Century. No
more interesting record of life upon the stage
could be laid before the American public, and
Mr.Jefferson's personality is perhaps more sym
pathetic to the people Of this country than that
of any actor We have had. He is the fourth in
a generation Of actors, and with his children
and grandchildren upon the stage, there are
six generations of actors among the Jetfersons.
The record which he has made of the early
DAYS Of the American stage is said TO be pc
culiarly interesting, especially the story OF his
travels as a boy in his fathers company. when
they would settle down for season in West
ern town and extemporize their own theater.
The autobiography viii begin in the Century
during the coming autumn and the Instruments
will be illustrated with a portrait gallery OF
distinguished actors.
