4 Few Fa5tS.

A remedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case, but in large percentage OF
them. And in cases too far gone
for cure, it affords. relief and often
prolongs life. Many who have
been given oyor by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends to
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment Of Drs. Starkey
s. Palen, Of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to its curative
powers. It has been successful in
curing many cases Of catarrh, ma
larial fever, bay fever, asthma
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros
tration, and other chronic diseases.
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, as the name they
have given to this class Of disorders
indicates, but Compound Oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine Con-
pound Oxygen, and any substance
node elsewhere or by others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, is spurious.
Avoid limitations.
IL you wish to learn more OF this
wonderful remedy, send for our
book Of 200 pages, sent free, with
numerous testimonials and records
Of surprising cures.

BUSIN ESS NOTICES.
THE LAMOILLE BAKERY.

A SUBSTANTIAL WORTHWHILE INDUSTRY
ITS REMARKABLE GROWTH AND DEvEL-
oPMENT.
Among the industries in Morrisville
which have grown to substantial pro-
portions is that of the Lamoille bakery.
1t is not great while since one man
was able to do the entire work, from
bakery to bookkeeping, and had con-
siderable leisure at that. When the
Messrs. |. A. White & Co. took posses
sion few years ago, it was a question
whether enough life could be infused in
to the waning concern to bring it into a
healthy condition. Many obstacles were
thrown into their way and they re-
ceived but little outside encouragement.
By pluck and hard work, coupled with
large amount of "sticktoitiveness, the
business was put under solid basis and
has continued to grow until it is now
one of the leading industries of the place.
1t gives employment to over dozen
hands and turns out daily large quaint
ties OF Lamoile crackers, Vermont
creams, bread, cookies, etc. To the
working force of the bake room has re-
Gently been added James Lynn, a baker
of several years experience, who, with
w. H. Heavey, the popular foreman and
one of the best bakers in the state, can
turn out crackers that will stand the
test with any made elsewhere. That the
goods from this bakery meet with APP
proval is not only verified by the large
orders received, but by the handsome
diploma awarded by the Champain
Valley Association for the fine display
made at the fair at Burlington last fall.
A similar award was given them at the
Malone, N. Y, fair, and also at the fair
at st, Johnsbury. Not satisfied with the
excellent results already attained the
management is bound to do more and
still better work, and to that end has
ordered a latest improved peanut roaster
and substantial dough mixer. Various
improvements have also recently been
made throughout the building, whereby
the facilities for doing the work more
NV'NNAiiNHtiN ulN SiNiliN NlldHNGus l lie
entire management is under the personal
supervision of Mr.. White, whose scru-
tinizing eye is constantly one every depart
ment. The enterprise is one of which
Morrisville may well be proud. 1t will
repay anyone to visit the works and see
how neatly everything is kept about the
place, and how nicely the facilities are
arranged for turning out crackers and
other bakers goods Morrisville News
