THE LONDONDERRY SITTER,
A Fine Piece OF Surgery.

DIR. b. +, Millington, one of our
local physicians, has just achieved a
fine piece OF surgery. Two weeks ago
the SITTER announced that Arthur
Dorset, a son of John Dorset who re-
sides near Jacksonville, had cut his
foot with an AK. Full particulars was
not then at hand. Recently, hearing
more about il, and that DIR. Wilmington
was making a good foot out of one cut
into two pieces, special representative
of the SITTER was sent to interview the
young gentleman, learn the full par
ticulars and see with his own eyes
whether or no the severed foot was to
be made whole.
Our reporter was well received and
found the sufferer bright, pleasant
youth of about 20 summers. AT the
time of the accident Mr.. Dorset was
engaged in peeling bark using a very
sharp, thin bladed AK and while stand
ing upon the felled tree he struck the
fatal blow, the AK being turned from
its intended course by coming in con-
tact with a limb of a tree or bush, this
contact being merely enough to change
the direction without lessening the blow.
The instrument struck his left foot Just
missing the little toe, taking a diago-
nal course cutting through boot and
foot, bones and all, coming out above
the point where the big toe joins the
foot, leaving the part cut Oft hanging
by the skin on the side Of the ball Of
the foot.
DIR. Millington was sent for at once
but did not get there until about three
hours after the accident. After
thorough examination he made up hi
mind that he would try and save tn
foot, rather than cut it off, seemlngl..
| the natural course. After a patien
) and thorough dressing and trimming
and removing the cap bone on the bi
toe joint, that was badly injured, tn
S foot was sewed together and properl
; done up. Our reporter found it, jul
= two weeks after the accident so thorough
ly knit together that all the stitches ha
p been removed and the young man W;
e able to slightly move the big toe. Thel
e now every indication that Mr.. Dorse
through the skill of his surgeon, wi
come out with quite a good foot,
d thing that would seem almost incre,
II ible to anyone who would now loo
at the boot worn at the time.

Save Your Potatoes.

We beg to call the attention of our
farmer readers to an article on second
page headed "The Potato Blights and
their Remedies" The article is from
the experiment station at Burlington
and merits careful perusal. 1t ght
be a good plan to carefully lay it
away for future reference. If pota-
toes can be saved from the blight so
cheaply as therein laid down, every
farmer should try it. It costs but
little and may save you many dollars
in the increased crop.

Eternal Vigilance

Is the price of health. But with all our
precaution there are enemies always Turk
ing about our systems, only waiting a
favorable opportunity to assert them
selves. Impurities in the blood may be
hidden tor years or even for generations
and suddenly break forth, undermining
health and fastening death. For all dis
eases arising from impure blood Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the unequalled and unap-
preached remedy. 1t is King of them all,
fiseor it conquers dase.
