The Massachusetts Board of
Health.
In Their oath Report (1S93.)

Make the statement that Sarsaparillas
containing Iodide of Potassium are I'M
safe to use, excepting under the supervi-
sion of an experienced physician, and
that their continued use tends to impov-
erish instead of purifying the blood AL
so, that in many cases they act as direct
poison and cause serious trouble, defeat
ing the object for which they were taken
Many Of the leading Sarsaparillas were
analysed and found to contain this poi
sonous chemical
This is an unprejudiced statement
made by the most scientific body of men
in New England ard is warning to the
public against the use of dangerous and
injurious medicines.
During the changing seasons while the
blood Is thick with accumulated impuri-
ties, the liver and kidneys, which are
filters of the body, are clogged and con-
gested. They are overworked and need
assistance. Sarsaparilla especially Hon
duras Sarsaparilla, was highly valued by
our forefashers as spring medicine; but
the searchlight of medical investigation
has proved that neither Honduras nor any
other Sarsaparlla has any medical value.
1t is simply used as flavoring for the
soda fountain or to disguise the nauseous
taste of disagreeable medicine.
What one needs is nerve tonic, a prep
aration that acts on the liver and kidneys,
aids the digestive organs in performing
their duties and thus build up the general
system and remove that sluggish, sleepy
feeling SO common among our New Eng
land people during the spring months.
Rodolfs Medical Discovery, was dis
covered, compounded, and has been tested
for years by leading physicians. and is
conceded by all medical men who have
investigated its merits to be the greatest
blood purifier before the American people
This remedy has cured moro cases of
Consumption, Scrofula and Canccrous
Humors, Rheumatism and Catarrh since
1t was placed before the people than all
other remedies combined, and we have yet
to hear of case where the Rodolf Rene
dies have been used according to direc-
tons that has not been benefited or cured.

eoyALTrs INTENDED REFUGE.
A House In Maine Where Marie Antoi'
nette,s wardrobe Was Taken.

uette's Wardrobe Was Takens
On the r.ppes or northern end of the is.
hand Of Westpost, ancientiy called Squam,
and situated on the Sheepscot bay on the
Maine coast, stood large, square, old
fashioned house, built of heavy timbers,
having one massive brick chimney in the
center. Ii was owned and inhabited by q
seafaring man by the name of Clough, who
sailed on foreign voyages.
1t was in the time of the French revolu-
ton, when this captain was on voyage to
France, that he was engaged by the agents
of the king and Marie Antoinette to bring
them secretly to America. Their wardrobe
and some of their furniture was already
placed on the ship, and the king and queen
were driven quietly down to the quay, where
the ships small boat was in waiting to
take them off to the vessel. At the same
moment secret agents of the revolution ar
rived just in time to arrest their king and
queen just as they had alighted from their
carriage. Their majesties We're then re-
moved to prison. There they We're soon
after guillotined.
AS soon as he found what had happened
Captain Clough put to sea with all haste,
having the wardrobe and the furniture of
the king and queen on board his ship.
After s. long voyage he arrived at West
port, Me-, safely and stored the queens
wardrobe and furniture in his own house
on Squam island. Tradition says that Wis
tiers to the house used sometimes to see
these things, and pieces of the queens
dresses arc still kept by the Clough descend
ants, who live in Edgecomb, just opposite
Westport.
On account of what 1 have narrated
above the house came to be called the Marie
Antoinctto House. Quite a long while aft
er the events l have mentioned the old
house was ferried across on scOws to the
opposite shore of Edgecomb, and placed
high on the bank, back from the rivers
brink, where it now stands, and is still in
habited. Many photographs have been
taken of it by summer tourists, and many
have written its history. But what 1 have
written was told me by the "oldest inhab
their fathers and mothers.
After the house was moved to tho Edge
comb shore it was inhabited by q man
named Gardiner Gore, who kept "a large
store and was quite wealthy. One night
an old lady of the same town, called Old
Aunt Hood who was given to dreaming
Dreams dreamed that the bungs had all
been pulled out of his molasses hogsheads
and that she saw the molasses run out all
over tie 1lon., and thereupon she told her
dream and declared that Gard would soon
be poor, and. in fact, he died soon after a
poor man.--L.ewiston Journal.

when necessary rub little red salvc on to
tint them. After powder and salvc have
been used always wash quickly with soap

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.


Furnished by Topeka GRAIN and Stock Ez-
change, Room 3, Columbian Building.
Wheat-The opening was weaker
again today with everybody selling long
wheat and no one wishing to buy for an
investment until the tired holders have
dumped their long lines There was
good buying at the bottom and the
market advanced nearly two cents at a
rapid pace but there was heavy realizing
again at the close which caused the
price to sag off half a cent, which
caused a still easier feeling on the curb.
This is good break and it looks like
good safe parchase around these prices
for another advance of at least cents
Foreign markets are not declining in
sympathy with ours which proves beyond
doubt that this decline is Ouly ''shake
out" and soon as long interest is pretty
thoroughly eliminated we will have a
healthier market and good advance.
The visible continues to decrease very
rapidly and is getting alarmingly low
and with good export demand should
cause much higher prices in the near
future.
Corn and oats were strong all day and
closed at the top
1t looks like there is big short inter-
est in corn and if such is the case we will
see much higher prices.
Provisions are quiet but firm and do
not share the weakness in grain. There
is good tip out to buy September pork
and we think it is all right to buy around
$12 50.
