RINGING WORDS
From a Prominent and Emf
nent Divine.
Statements That Are True and
Straight to the Point.
Read What He Says, for His Words Are
of Great and Peculiar Interest.

No one knows better than the faithful
pastor the great value of sound physical
and nerve strength. The strain upon brain
and nerve, the physical exhaustion follow
ing excessive work, the responsibilities and
sympathies with Affections and the myriad
cares make the earnest preachers duties
arduous and wearing in the extreme.
We do not wonder, therefore, at the strong
and ringing words of praise which the emf
nent divine, Rev. C. ID. r. Meacham, gives
that most wonderful of medicines, Dr.
Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy
When he was run down in health, weak in
nerves, Frustrated in strength, and with his
blood badly impaired, he was restored to
sound and vigorous health by this marvel
lous health renewer.
Here are the exact facts in mis- own
words:
O. am very glad to say in regard to DR.,
Greene's great remedy that when my blood
was badly impoverished by an old scrofula
humor, and my nervous system was greatly
impaired, DIR. Greene's medicine gave me
wonderful relief.
as at any time in my life, and my confidence
in DIR. Greene's remedy is constantly in
creasing.
"REv. G. ID. r. MEAcHAM,
Pastor Baptist Ch., Townshend Vt"
We have published the testimonials of
vast numbers of people who were cured by
the use of the great discovery, DR.. Greenes
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, but we
take more pleasure in giving to the world
Rev Mr.. Meacham's own words in regard
to the wonderful benefits he received from
this valuable remedy, because we realize
that the earnest words of a minister will
have great weight with sufferers from dis
ease, and everybody who reads his convinc-
ing words in regard to the sure and remark
able curative powers of this medicine will
lose no time in securing bottle and thus
obtain cure.
1t is purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less, and is kept by all druggists at 81.
Its discoverer is the well known Dr.
Greene of "a Temple Pl., Boston, Mass, who
gives consultation and advice free to the
sick, personally or by letter. The sick
should use Immediately DR.. Greene's Ner
vura blood and nerve remedy, for it is not
only the best remedy ever discovered, but
those using it have the privilege of consult
| ing DR. Greene concerning its effects, theil
health, etc. This fact alone guarantees the
assurance of cure. If you need medicine
do not fail to take this best of all remedies

WHEN we began to ship butter in
boxes, we obtained a lot of nicely made
hardwood ones, prepared them accord
ing to rule, filled them with as good
butter as we could make, and obtained
through an experienced friend the
name and address of a reliable firm to
whom we might consign it for sale.
AS we are going to "name names !"
here, we will begin by naming this
firm, which is Charles H. Stone & Co.,
8 Chatham Row, Boston. To these
gentlemen we are indebted for much
valuable instruction in the making and
marketing fprint butter, and they have
always returned the boxes promptly
and in good order,
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-09-21

The difficulty may be hard to reach.
Doubtless, the commission man does
not like to offend the buyer who returns
a smashed or otherwise injured and de-
filed box, by demanding payment of
damages. But he ought to be made to
understand that in receiving the conf
dence of shippers he has in justice as
sumed the responsibility of decent
handling and he should rigidly de-
mand from transporters and buyers a
corresponding responsibility. The

THERE is one subject of very press
ing interest TO farmers who make and
sell butter. We have spoken of it be-
fore. We expect to speak of it very Of
ten, until some effective remedy can be
devised. We have been in the dairy
business only few years, and are not
very far into it yet; but we have struck
a snag that will have to be got out of
the way before we shall feel right. 1t
is the abominable way in which butter
boxes are handled by everybody who
gets hack at them.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-09-21

IT may be said that as our home
buyer is responsible for these dam
ages we have no particular cause to
complain. We do not look at it in that
way. But it is not exactly so. Be-
sides the gross breakage and deface-
ment and the stealing Of trays, the way
the whole business is done, from maker
to consumer, shows an utter contempt
and Indifference to the rights of the
producer on the part of everybody con-
nected with the transportation. Boxes,
when not ruined or broken beyond re-
pair, are 80 deiaced and fouled that nc
self-respecting dairyman can feel iike
using them for future shipment.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-09-21

BUT we found one objection to do
ing the business by express. The ex-
press company returned the boxes in
good order, but gave no notice of their
arrival, and piled them up outside the
office, exposed to weather and thieves.
AT first, we merely attached our ship
ping card to the boxes; but soon be-
gun to have them stolen. Then we
branded them with stencil, but they
were still stolen, the express company
giving no protection, and acknowledge
ing no responsibility. Then we got an
iron brand and burned our name into
the boxes in six or seven places. None
have been stolen since.

Editorial NOtings.

WE are receiving letters upon the
subject of the tariff from both repub-
lican and democratic readers; and it is
quite evident that good many of the
latter read this department of the
paper. We have never had any init
nation from headquarters that discus
sion of the principle of protection, as it
affects agricultural interests, would be
Objectionable in this part of the paper;
but in our judgment it does not seem
advisable to go into that matter very
far while a national election is pending.
If our readers desire to have the SUBJ
ject discussed at some future period
we mean the question of the true inter-
ests of the American farmer, and the
Vermont farmer, in the matter of a
protective tariff-we shall have no OBJ
lection and we feel sure that an edito-
rial chief will have no objection TO our
treating the subject as fully as may be
desired. When we do so, we shall try
to write simply as an American citizen,
and as a citizen of Vermont, rather
than as politician who must ignore all
but partisan interests, AT present we
content ourself with expressing the be-
lief that the United States are so for
tunately situated, as compared with
most other nations, as to suffer COM
paratively little from errors of legisla-
ton on this question.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-09-21

LATER we have found home buyer
who has paid cash for the butter at
rate which gave some advantage in
price over what we had received from
the Boston commission men. But on
the other hand we have had to wait so
long for the return of boxes that it has
taken about two boxes to a COW to keep
us going Besides that, they come
back substantially ruined, hinges and
hasps broken, trays stolen, wood
scratched, battered and smashed; and
all this, as regards the last lot, after
having passed through the hands of a
house bearing the honored and re-
spected name of Slayton of Manches-
ter, n. H., worse than ever before.

STUDENT AND BEGGAR.

Tho Latter Was Never Appreciated Until
After Death.
A young medical student in New
York had a remarkable experience re-
Gently, says the N. Y Sun. He belongs
to that sort of young men who are com
PEELED to depend almost entirely upon
their own resources to obtain their
education and he spends his evenings in
a downtown office. For long time he
was accosted by professional beggar,
a strapping big fellow with a stiff neck,
while passing through City Hall park.
The beggar accosted him night after
night in an insolent manner. Fre-
quently it was difficult for the medical
student to get rid of the beggar, and
they rarely parted without an exchange
of epithets. This thing went on for
some time, and then the beggar sud
denly disappeared. One morning short
ly after this the medical student went
into the dissecting room to dissect a
body, He was surprised to find that
the body assigned to him was that of
the troublesome beggar. The student
had often wondered what was the
matter with the fellows neck, and now
he had an opportunity to find out. He
dissected the body and found that a
layer of bone had grown down the
neck, preventing the head from being
moved backward or forward One of
the attendants mounted the skeleton
for the student, and it now stands COM
plete in his room at the foot of the bed.

New York, Fen. y--Seven days have
elapsed since the tub Webster and four
scows, with eighteen men, were blown
out to sea by the hurricane of Tuesday
last. All but two of the men have been
rescued, Those still missing are Capt.
Charles Crump and Mate Flavius Canal
of Scow No. g.
The rescue of the ten men from the
sinking tug Just in the nick OF time, has
inspired those responsible with hope that
the crew of the barge may be saved But
all agree that their chances of escape
from death by drowning, starvation or
freezing are very small.
Captain Clark, of the tug Webster,
said on Saturday that the men on Scow
No. did not have enough food to keep
them alive so long. STILL the same thing
was said of the three rescued scows,
whereas it was found after they had
been picked up that the men on them
had sufficient food and fuel for ten or
twelve daps The strongest hope for the
safety of Crump and Canal is that they
might have been picked up by some out
ward bound steamship and carried to
Europe.
The captain and crew of the schooner
Everett Webster were unlucky when
they rescued the ten men from the tug
Edwin Webster in that they were not
able to save q splinter of the tugboat.
Thereby they lost thousands of dollars
of salvage. In view of this Mayor Grant
has started fund for the captain and
crew of the schooner, whose bravery and
kindness have been commended by the
captain and crew of the tugboat
