Zdkeas iss time, even Consumption yields to the wonderful effects of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It won't make new lungs-but it will make diseased ones healthy when nothing, else will. There's reason for it, too. Consumption is Lung scrofula. For every form of scrof- pla, and all blood-taints, the "Dis- covery" is positive cure. It's the most potent strength restorer, blood cleanser, and flesh : builder known to medical science. For Weak Lungs, Splitting of Blood, Bronchitis, Asthma, Catarrh, and all lingering Coughs, it's an une- qualed remedy. It's a quaranteed one. If it doesn't benefit or cure, you have your money back. You've everything to gain from it-nothing to lose. .z.s
 It's especially potent in curing Tetter, Salt-rheum, Eczema, Erysip- ~elas, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Goitre, or Thick Neck, and Enlarged Glands, Tumors and Swellings. Great Eating Ulcers rapidly heal under its benign influence.

It is 8 science that looks ito the. prevention of diseases in comnunities through themedium Of clean liness i, and 1t oomrnends itself most urg- entIy to the common sense of the people.

1 b8enGaH0n. The spoon IS also ornament ed with oak and laurel leaves as emblems of strength and victory. Fitting indeed is it that this story above all others be chosen for the Putnam spoon. It was the first heard of Putnam. Another fact that makes device singularly appropriate is that the old English crest of the Putnam family is wolf's head.
 Referring to this handsome souvenir the New York Sun has the following: I Fora hundred years the old school read CTS have had thrilling story about Gen. l Israel Putnam's encounter with 8 wolf in lasdeep dark cave at Pomfret, in Windham Eeonnty, Conn, and every school boy that 1 read it made up his mind that 'Old Put" was Of just about the right sort of stuff. The story was that the old wolf had riot ed in the Windham county sheepfolds for years, but no hunter was smart enough to get a shot at her, and nobody wanted to call upon her when she was ''at home. |" With gang of farmers and his African l slave, ''Old Put" took the field against I ker one day and drove her into her hole. ..Now," said Put to his black, "Sambo, take the torch and gun and go in and get Her."
 ''sNo, no, massa,' said the trembling slave, falling upon his knees.
 1 7H y WCIt, W6ll, SSbtu uu1hH, "Oh U sJfave coward in my family" and so he took the gun and torch, crawled and squeezed himself into the narrow, pitch dark cave about twenty five feet, held the torch aloft with one hand, and blazed away at the wolf's head and killed her. 1 { The cave at Pomfret has been famous one since, and thousands of people have l visited it from all parts of the country. But everybody in this region supposed that the old queens arm with which Put nam slew the wolf had long since been de- stroyed. Recently, however, Geo. B. Shaw of Putnam, who has gathered many me- mentoes of the old revolutionary hero, learned accidentally that the historic gun ss yet in existence, and the property of l IsSbe1J ShaaRe of Bro8klyn,-N.-Y ,swhe kindly loaned it to MT. Shaw. The latter took the firearm to the justly celebrated Gorham Mfg. Co.,, silversmiths, of Provi- dence, and the result is one of the finest pieces, of die work, as to finish and detail that this company have produced. The quality is solid sterling silver, and the de- sign is fully protected and trade marked.

The Gen. Putnam
 souvenir spoon, made
 by George F. Shaw of Putnam, unlike many
 produced, is not bur dened by ornamenta-
 tion, yet the design
 gives a correct likeness of the grand old gene- ral in his military coat and cooked hat, which costume designates his rank as a revolutionary
 hero. This likeness oc- cupies the central and
 prominent panel of the spoon. Above thismay be seen an admirably executed head of Pom fret's snarling shewolf.
 the killing of which not only rid the early set tiers of a hated enemy,
 but at once pointed to Putnam as a leader in any cause where cour- age and promptness o1 action was necessary. ! A fac simile of the flint \ lock queens arm and \ powder horn in use at that time may be seen Z below the medallion. ' The fact that the mod. el for this was the yer. itable gun used by Put. nam to kill the wolf, adds much interest to this detail of the orna.

A glance ut the magnificent fruit
crop now ripening here suggests the
utility of establishing n canning factory
at this point. The prospect for such
an enterprise is good, indeed. Fruit
in abunda can be had within IA ra-
dius of few miles. With such an in
dustry established here, the fruit pro-
duct of the lower river would be drawn
here, instead Of being exported else
where. The percent of loss by txpor-
tation to h distant market is great, and
much of the fruit crop is now wasting
because no market is available for the
perishable product. A canning factory
established here for the preservation
of our fruit and vegetables, would GER
tainly be profitable enterprise
Thousands of pounds of fruit are now
rotting here, for lack Of facilities for
caring for it. Lewiston Is easily the
center of the fruit growing industry on
Snake river. The fruit could all be
marketed here and the prepared pro-
duct can find good markets anywhere
in the United States.
