He's taking DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. If taken in
time and given a fair trial, it will
effect cure. Consumption is
Lung-scrofula. For Scrofula, in its
myriad forms, and for all Liver,
Blood and Lung diseases, the "Dis-
covery" is an unequalled remedy.
It's the only guaranteed one. If
it doesn't benefit or cure, you get
your money back. You only pay
for the good you get.
"Discovery" strengthens Weak
Lungs, and cures Splitting Of Blood,
Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis,
Severe Coughs, and kindred affec-
tions. Don't be fooled into taking
something else, said to be "just as
good" that the dealer may make a
larger profit. There's nothing at

The Use of Ouinine.

There is no questioning the fact that qui-
line Is valuable medicine as tonic, anti.
periodic and anti-pyretic, and that its dis
covery has greatly helped the cause of med.
icine. Still in a majority of cases it's use is
not altogether satisfactory as it frequently
deranges the system, producing headache
dizzy feelings, convulsions and sometimes
even paralysis. 1t was the endeavor of the
eminent DIR. John Bull of Louisville, KY. to
invent substitute for quinine, something
that would have all the good qualities OF
quinine, and yet be entirely free from its
evil tendencies. How admirably he sue
ceeded is evidenced by the estimation in
which, his remedy Smiths Tonic Syrup is
held by the people; where it is best known
everybody uses it in place of quinine and il
never fails to give the very best of salts
faction. In cases of chills and fever it is
absolutely a safe and certain cure

From the BrattIeboro Reformer.

Mr.. Page is a business man of eX-
eeptional capacity. He has built up
from small beginnings a very large
and admirably systemized business.
He has served creditably in the legis-
lature His work as Inspector of Fl
nance was independent and clear
headed, and there will yet be regret
that the warnings which he uttered
about western loans were not bet
ter needed. He is a thoroughly loyal
Vermonter, aggressively on the side
of home industries, home develop
hent and home investments. He not
only has good ideas on the subject,
BUT his practice agrees with them,
and he has helpful hand in nearly
every enterprise in his section.
Above all he is practical" as any
man who is going to make his way
in the Republican politics of Vermont
must be. There is not much room
for doubling that he will easily clean
out Woodbury. in the State conven-
ton.
