Examination Free to All,


Although the doctor is in many cases
compelled 20 use expensive instruments
and chemicals in making analyses, micro
scopie and other scientific examinations,
yet he makes no charges to anyone, belieN
ing II to be part of the physicians duty
TO ascertain the patients true condition
without expense to the sufferer. When
ever and wherever DR.. Humphrey decides
to lecate a monthly visit crowds flock to
sec him. and no wonder, for by the first ex-
animation, and often without asking
question, he tells the invalid what the
trouble is, and the prospect Of q cure, and
most wonderful Of all he values his first
impression and first look at patient more
than all else, and DR.. Humphrey is never
mistaken in his diagnosis in any case.
The doctors methods differ markedly
from the general practitioner in all re-
spects. Following the plan of st. Georges
Hospital of London, he registers every
particular as to the patients physical con-
dition and mental state. The condition OF
each organ, location Of any and all dis
cased parts, and whether sympathetic or
organic together with the amount and
nature of the disease. In this way the en-
tire amount of Vital energies are readily
computed and the restoring power OF the
body measured against the force and en-
ergy aud destructive capabilities OF the dis
ease. Thus knowing the actual condition
of the tissues and the effect or specific
medicines upon every structure OF the
body, unlike most doctors, he is enabled to
say positively whether any given case Is
durable or not, and can also give the APP
proxinlate time and expense OF treatment,
and would here point out the utter de-
fusion cherished by many patients that
they ought to get well in a few days or
weeks, Notwithstanding the fact that they
have suffered for years.

Of these sufferers were given up as hopeless

others a prey to scrofula, chronic kidney dis

Democratic politics do not arouse SO much
enthusa IN in this section of the State as
thay do in some others. Still there is more
or less discussion among the faithful OF the
pr bnbi, nominee to the empty honor of be-
in4 q candidate for governor. The demo-
erals OF this part Of the State think Mr..
Marshall of Brattleboro ought to be the one.
Tuey think he showed by his work in the
Legisla urs at its last session that he was
capaUie of any honor which might be con =
lcrred upon him. Others, however, differ
with the esteemed gentlemen at this end of
the state and think Mr.. Marshall's record
as a repr, sentative did not qualify him to
be tho standard bearer of his party in the
coming campaign 1t it, nevertheless, true,
however, that he will have a strong sup
port in the convention, and may possibly
be nominated.
George o. Guild Is mentioned as a prob
able candidate for delegate to the national
democratic convention. Mr. Guild is a
prominent business man OF Bellows Falls,
has been postmaster under Cleveland, aud is
a stsunch democrat. No better choice could
be made in the democratic ranks.

camp remains about as usual
| The withdrawal of Mr.. Fletcher and
| William f. johnson from the race thus
early, leaves the field open, in this part OF
the state, to Mr.. Fuller. Mr.. Arms has
asprations, but it would be impossible for
him to get the nomination this year, not
| the least of which is tho fact that he is com
paratively little known outside his own i'm
mediate vicinity.
Mr.. Vail and Mr.. Tinkham wouldn't re-
fuse If 1t came their way; but that is un
likoiy. Mr.. Tnkhan may, however, get

Mr.. Estey's name has been frequently
mentioned, but he is wise enough to say
J that though he would like the honor, HI
fully understands that he is not well enougl
! known in distant parts of the State to b
able to secure the majority of the conven
ton. He will, therefore, use his strength
