appetite, could not sleep, could not
walk alone. Puritana made him over
new from head to foot. 1t gave him
sleep, appetite, and strength.
After trying many doctors, hospi-
tails, and medicines in vain, Mrs. j. S.
DAILY, of Cambridge, Mass, had also
abandoned hope, when Puritana was
brought to her relief. 1t gave her
strength and health, pure, rich blood,
vigorous digestion, and raised her
from the sick bed to the full vigor
of happy womanhood.
Yes, one drop of Puritana will
bring more real relief, more real cure,
more real strength, more real nerve
force, more real power and vital
energy, more real " lfe-is-worth-
living" than dipperful, bucketful,
barrelful of so-called tonics, blood
cures, nerve foods, pills, and doubtful
preparations from unknown sources,
that is the reason why Puritana is
the most economical medicine as
well as the most effective in the
world.

Latilner.

The announcement of the death of
George Latimer arouses strange echoes
of the all-but-forgotten past. To most
men now living the mere mention of
his name is meaningless. Some expla-
nation of who he was, and what he did,
or rather what was done to him, is
necessary for their enlightenment.
There are few who remember that
time. Yet there was time when his
name was on every lip, in every mind,
and when his fate was a national issue
of supreme Importance. Without de-
string it, without realizing it, he made
his mark, deep, conspicuous, imperish-
able, upon the tablets of American his
tory; upon American politics and upon
American literature as well. He WAS
the first slave hunted upon Massachu-
sets soil since the Northern States be-
came free. He was captured upon the
soil of a free state, and confined in
prison in the old Pilgrim capital, for
no crime and for no cause but that his
skin was black. That was the incident,
away back in 1912, that more than any
other aroused the spirit of the North
against the "peculiar institution" OF
the South. 1t aroused hatred of and
unyielding antagonism to the system
under which such things could be done.
1t provoked the fercest blazing forth
of the great frebrands of reform, Phil
lips and Garrison. 1t put a martial
breastplate under Whittier's Quaker
coat, and inspired him to the best and
most militant of his anti-slavery lyrics
Do the schoolboys of to-day declaim it
as much as those of a generation ago?
Perhaps not; though it is worthy OF
it, whether as stirring literature or as
an unsurpassed epitome of the whole
ant-slavery spirit.
The blast from freedoms Northern hills, upou its
Bears greetings 70 Virginia from Massachusetts,

And when the prowling man thief came hunting for
Beneath the very shadow of Bunkers shaft of
How, through the free lips of the son, the fathers
How from its bonds of trade and sect, the Pilgrim
The voice Of Massachusetts OF her free and
Deep calling unto deep aloud-the sound of many

That was more than half century
ago. The fervent poet is dead. The
impassioned orator is dead. The ire
pressible agitator is dead. The relic
of barbarism" against which they bat
tied is dead. Slave hunts are no more
possible in Virginia to-day than in
Massachusetts,, and We suppose the
worthy sons of the Old Dominion re-
joice in that fact as much as those of
the old Bay State. 1t was strange
bit of fate that prolonged the obscure
career Of this involuntary instrument
so long, after the mightier actors in the
great drama had all passed off the stage.
His departure is Of historic interest;
and of interest, too, as rebuke to
those who lament that the present days
are not ~ good as the days that were.

other palate-tickling concoction. The
one drop of Puritana is real medicine
it cures. The dipperful is anything,
everything, and nothing, when it
comes right down to real cure.
Puritana is the prize formula of
Prof. Dixi Crosby, who was for thirty
two years at the head of Dartmouth
Medical College. 1t strikes at the
root of 92 per cent. of human suffer
ing, and brings new strength, new
health, new life through the power
producer of the system. Puritana
makes the heart right, lungs right,
liver right, blood right, kidneys right,
nerves right, and health right, because
it makes the stomach right. To any
man, woman, or child who will take
it as directed, Puritana will practi-
cally give a new stomach. That is
why hundreds and thousands of
people have proved that it cures from
head to foot

GOT TT ALL PLANNED.

At st. Louis, Dec. 28th, Lieut.. Col.
Guy V. Henry, commander of Jeffer-
son barracks, talked freely on the
proba biliGy of war with England and
it's results.
''It is an historical fact" said Col
Henry, athat the United States has
engaged in war about every twenty
five years, and the time is ripe for an
other engagement. The only thing
that will stave off a conflict is a back
down on the part of England, and this
is just the thing she is likely to do.
eff hostilities should break out,
England's course would be to attack
our seapOrts. She would station iron
clads in front of New York and Bos-
ton and shell the cities, but that is not
the entire country.
GAS to landing troops in Canada, 1
venture to say that we could have
1000, 600 men over there inside of so
days, men, too, who have smelled
powder. We could conquer the whole
of Canada and prevent them from US
ing that as a base of operations.
england might land troops else
where, but that is small part of the
business. The principal part of the
work is tQ keep them supplied with
food and ammunition after they had
landed.
''If we have war with England it
will be confined to the coast cities and
the Canadian border line. 1t will also
be one of the bloodiest in the history
of the world. 1t will be worse than
the civil war.n

The Druses, however, who live in the
Lebanon dis trict of Syria, have felt

THE VERMONT DEMOCRATS.

The prediction is made by the Yer
Journal that the Vermont democrats
will be'for Cleveland for president for
a third term, inasmuch as the leaders
are all in federal offices. He continues:
1t is only once in four years that a
nominee of a democratic State con-
vention is called upon to perform any
official duties. This quadrenniaI op-
portunity is the occasion for the Sc
lection Of delegates to the national
convention. In other years the can
didate merely contributes to the cam
paign fund and wonders how big
majority he will be showed under by.
The democrats only hold one State
convention presidential years, when
ect delegates to the national conven-
ton. This convention has usually
been held in May. The basis of rep
resention is one delegate for every
governor at the preceding election,
which makes convention of $50 or
700 members with a full representa-
ton.
Who will lead the forlorn hope of
the democracy in 1896? It may be DIR.
j. Henry Jackson of Barre, DR.. A. p.
Grinnell of Burlington, James HI. Will
liams of Bellows Falls, T. w. Moloney
of Rutland, or DR.. J. Fl. Conland of
Brattleboro. AS none of these gentle
men are federal office holders, no vio-
lation of the civil service law would
be necessary.
For lieutenant governor, D. G. Fur
man of Swanton, or Don @. Pollard of
Cavendish has been considered.
The delegates to the national con-
vention will probably be selected
from among those already mentioned
in this correspondence. DR.. Henry
jackson Of Barre, FL. E. Folsom of
Lyndonville, Geo. W. Smith of Hart
ford, Alex Cochran of Groton, M. @.

sor, James A. Brown of Burlington,
@. H. Davenport of Brattleboro, John

left of Montpelier are among the men
who may be chosen. Of course the
delegation will be solid for Cleveland.
