Mr.. Wood resides at 81 Marion Ave,
West Indianapolis, Ind. He has been
cured by the great medicine, DIR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy, from utter nervous prostration and
exhaustion. He deems the cure most

High Wind in BENIN gton.

BENNINGTON, Jan. 27.-The wind
storm in this section was one of the
most severe that has occurred for years.
In Pownal the roof of car loaded with
wheat standing on the side track was
completely torn off. The old Bachelor
barn, which has been landmark in
town, was lifted from it's foundation
and carried about so feet. The lower
part ofthe barn was completely wrecked
but the high roof remains intact. In
SALISBURY reports say that several
buildings were badly damaged and
many trees blown down. In this village
a part of the roof on the residence of
William Pearl on Branch street was
blown off and several residences had
windows blown in and other damages
done. The flagstaff at the Soldiers
Home was also broken off.

"My wife is similarly diseased and is
now taking DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, so far with bene-
fetal results.
"Thus knowing by personal expert
ence the great value of this grand med
icene, [ write this that others, who have
similar troubles, may be induced to try
Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy and be cured.o er-e--s
People who are sick or ailing in any
way make serious mistake if they de-
lay a moment longer to use this, with
out doubt, greatest medical discovery
ever made. Even if you have been
disappointed because other medicines
failed, we promise this remedy will
cure.
1t is not patent medicine, but the
prescription of the most successful liv-
ing specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, DR.. Greene of 81 Tenn
pie Place, Boston, Mass. He has the
largest practice in the world, and this
grand medical discovery is the result
of his vast experience. The great repu-
tation of DIR. Greene is guarantee that
his medicine will cure, and the fact
that he can be consulted by anyone at
any any time, free charge, personally
or by letter, gives absolute assurance of
the beneficial action of this wonderful
medicine.

MOTHERS OF GIRLS.
Too Rapid Growth or Too

For a Few Weeks.

Languor

Mothers with daughters that are yet
young often ask themselves:
"How can my girls be saved from
nervousness and lifelong weakness ?"
1t falls to the mother with her clear,
thoughtful eyes, to see that the health
and future happiness of her daughters
are not sacrificed to excessive study, or
to any unreasonable excitement The
signs of failing health and weakness {:
pale cheeks, lauguid behavior, colorless
lips, growing thinness, irritability-all
these ring alarm in her mind, for they
point, each with its separate finger, to
but one cause thin, Watery blood, and
an already impaired nervous system.
Parents should begin at the first
symptom of such tendency to change
this unfortunate habit of the body.
The real nerve food, Paine's celery COM
pound, if used with the attention to
regularity that any able physicians
prescription requires-(this remarkably
effective blood maker and nerve food is
the formula of no less eminent a scien-
fist than Prof. Edward E. Phelps,
M. D., LII. D., of the Dartmouth Med
lCttl bOCllOOlJ, IL JdhCll DIS IOl. Help
urgently advises, is sure to cause forth
with a clearly observed change in the
tired, badly nourished body.
A single week will show that the
rundown" system is appropriating
more of the food that is taken into the
body, and rapidly building up the
weakened parts. Languor will dis
appear; the spirits will be raised; the
nervous affections dyspepsia, neural
gia, and depression that went with the
former exhausted condition, will no
longer affiict the nerves.
For overweight, worried parents, for
thin, pale children, for the aged, who
are most apt to be afflicted with rheu-
matism and sleeplessness, and for any
who lack strength there is nothing that
progressive physicians rely on SO invari-
ably as Paine's celery compound. 1t
makes new blood. 1t stores the nerv-
GUS tissues all over the body with fresh
material. 1t builds up the brain. 1t
cleanses every bit of harmful humor
from the blood and sends it briskly
through the arteries laden with food
for the deepest, most vital tissues.
There's returning health and an
active, fulfilled state of the body in
Paine's celery compound.

FIRE RECORD.
Help Saved the Town.

CU1TINGsvILLE, Jan. 29.-Fire was
discovered IN Dana Jones' saw and grist
mill and jigger shop at 1890 o'clock last
night, and in two hours the under
takers shop of III. A. Waterman and
the carriage shop of f. o. Foster q
Story were in ruins.
The absence of wind saved the village
from complete destruction, as there is
no fire apparatus in the town.
The fire was discovered by child of
John Smalley, who awoke its mother,
and she in turn aroused her husband.
The alarm was soon given and the peo-
pie hurried to the scene. Preparations
were made to wet the roofs of the hotel
and other buildings on the opposite side
of the village street, while a consider
able quantity of flour and meal was
hastily removed from the grist mill.
Mr.. Waterman saved but two Baskets
from his stock, and his loss ON the lat
ter, ON which there was no insurance,
will be about $500.
AS soon as it was seen how rapidly
the fire was spreading telegraph mes
sage was sent to Rutland for help. The
absence of facilities in the city for hasti-
| ly loading the heavy engine made the
| time before the arrival of the apparatus
seem very long to the anxious towns
people. The special train from Rutland
| reached the town at LOG this morning,
after Is minutes run from Rutland.
! Chief Hannum went to the fire and
| found that, although the buildings
were fiat, the fire was eating its way
through an immense pile of logs
towards neighboring structures. He
| decided to unload the engine. Here
another delay occurred; there We're no
conveniences for unloading and it took
considerable time to obtain men,
,planks, etc.
At 30 a stresm was turned on the
| burning logs. The mill was closed at G
O'Clock and the fire is supposed to have
caught from the stove.
