Poisoned by Scrofula

Is the sad story of many lives made mis- erable through no fault of their own. Scrofula is more especially than any other hereditary disease, and for this simple reason: Arising from impure and insufficient blood, the disease locates it. self in the lymphatics, which are com posed of white tissues; there is 8 period of foetaI life when the whole body con- sists of white tissues, and therefore the unborn child is especially susceptible to this dreadful disease. But there is a remedy for scrofula, whether hereditary or acquired. It is Hoods Sarsaparilla, which by it's powerful effect on the blood, expels all trace of the disease and gives to the vital fluid the quality and color of health. If you decide to take Hoods Sarsaparilla do not accept any substitute

THE REP UBLlCAN RALLY.

The third Republican meeting in this village was held at the town hall Wed. nesday evening, Oct 18th. Before the meeting the Canaan Citizens band gave street parade and an open air concert and afterwards played during the meet Ing. The appearance of the musicians as they marched through the streets with their torches. to the soul stirring martial music, was very effective.
 Rev Dr Eddy presided with charao. teristic dignity. Major John A. Tibbits, who was to have addressed the meeting, was prevented from being present by illness. His place, however, was taken by the Hon Allen W. Paige, of Hunting ton, Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatfves, and Hon William A. King, of Willimantic. Mir Paige made shori speech in the course of which he point ed out that Judge Morris, in his letter of acceptance, only claimed plurality of votes, so that, as the Republicans had majority on joint ballot of both houses, he could not have been elected governor. He also showed the advanta ges of the present system of represents tion in the legislature, by which due weight in the State government is giver to the Chill towns" and the thinking country people.
 MT Paige also paid warm tribute tc MT Miles as the right man to send tc Congress.
 MT King made very good speech full of telling hits, and enlivened by funny stories which kept the audience in roars of laughter.
