in 1858 she began her labors there, and
continued in the service OF that board
until 1862, when she retired for space
Of five years, being married meantime to
Mr.. Putnam.
When her little daughter was about
five years old the place in the depart
ment where she had formerly taught so
acceptably was vacant, and her services
we're again sought and obtained. She
continued the work until her health
failed, having taught in all 50 terms, or
The customary terms for II years. Dur
ing the last years the pupils were chill
dren, many of them, of those taught by
her in her first years Of teaching in
Charlestown, and the grade was of pri-
mary and intermediate, the schools
being more mixed than now, and Mrs.
Putnam prepared the pupils for the
grammar department. She was elected
TO teach in the grammar department,
and taught one term, but preferring the
primary and intermediate scholars did
not continue. This work was pleasure
and never irksome, as her heart was en-
tirely in her work. When forced to
abandon teaching on account of failing
| health, her sorrow was very great.
Children" to use her own words, ''are
he best of this world, even more than
flowers or fruit; nothing in nature Can
compare with the unfolding and expand
ing of child's mental powers"
Mrs. Putnam was married to w. D

Mrs. Putnam has selected as speciality

REQUESTED names of some who had
been treated by her for these terrible
diseases, and as space will only allow of

Newcomb, Of Bellows Falls, VT, lady
81 years of age, who was afflicted with
cancer Of the tongue, of nearly 30 years
growth, which has been retarded some
what by the use of caustic applications,
out the time came when their use was
valueless. She was advised by physi-
ians to visit Boston and have it cut out.
Learning of Mrs. Putnam's method she
.-cured her services with happy result
Her health has been better than for
years. Schuyler johnson of Claremont,
under Mrs. Putnam's treatment had one
removed from his face, in the space OF
five days and four hours, suffering No
pain whatever. Only the year before he
, had one removed bv the knife.
A young gill in Nova Scotia, Gin Anti
