The Story of
DRY of
Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. D., LII. D.,
who for thirty-two years was at the
head of Dartmouth Medical College,
belonged to the famous Crosby family
of physicians, which for several gener-
ations has furnished more distin-
guished medical men than any other
family in America. His father was
DIR. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who
procured the charter of the State
medical society, of which he was for
thirty years conspicuous member;
one brother, DR.. Josiah Crosby, in
vented the invalid bed and the method
of making extensions of fractured
limbs by adhesive strips; another
brother, DR.. Thos. r. Crosby, was
chief surgeon in Columbian College
Hospital during the war, and later
professor of animal and vegetable
physiology at Dartmouth College !;
while DR.. Dixi Crosby himself was
the inventor and discoverer of various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including a new and
unique mode of reducing metacarpo-
phalangeal dislocation, opening of alb
scess at hip-joint, etc, etc.

extraordinary skill and success in over
coming disease had already attracted
the attention of medical men through
out the world, and won for him the
highest honors. His greatest achieve
ment was the discovery of an original
method for perfecting and compound
ing in permanent form what has be-
come known as his "prize formula"
and which, under the name of Puri-
tana, is legally protected.
The foundation of this remarkable
medical discovery consists of simple
New England roots and herbs, and the
original family recipe for it has de-
scended to the long line of Crosby
physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. It's peculiar vegetable compost
ton rendered it necessary to brew it
whenever needed in the early days OF
its history, and after the scattering OF
the Puritan families to remote local.
ties, where the necessary ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
were made to put it up in permanent
form, all of which failed until Dr. Dix
Crosby discovered means and methods

NIAGARA FALLS.
A Scientific Authority Gives Them but
Five Thousand More Years of Life.

A Scientific Authority Gives Them but
Five Thousand More Years of Life.
Fifteen hundred years ago the terrestrial
movements raised the johnson barrier to
the Erie basin so high that the waters of
that lake reached not merely the level of
Lake Michigan, but the point of turning
all the water of the upper lakes into the
Mississippi drainage by way of Chicago.
But the falls were then cutting through
the ridge, and when this was accomplish
ed, before the change of drainage was com
pleted, the surface of Lake Erie was sud
denly lowered by many feet, and thus the
falls were re-established for some time
longer.
Slowly, year by year, one sees the cata-
ract wearing back and suggesting the time
when the river will be turned into a series
of rapids. But another silent cause is at
work, and one not easily seen-namely, the
effects of the changing of level of the
earth's crust From the computations al
ready referred to it was found that for the
first 900 years of the life of the river
only the Erie waters flowed by way of the
Niagara river, and for only 5000 years
have all the waters of the upper lakes been
feeding the falls. If the terrestrial move
ments continue as at present, and there
appears no reason to doubt it, for the CON
tinent was formerly vastly higher than
now, then in about 5000 years the rim of
the Erie basin promises to be raised so high
that all the waters Of the upper lakes will
flow out by way of the Chicago canal.
Thus the duration of Niagara falls will
have continued about 81, 600 years. But the
lakes will endure beyond the calculations
of the boldest horologist-J. w. Spencer

Issuing Of Bonds Forbidden.

WASHINGTON, June AT 7 o clock
to- night the long struggle in the senate
over the bill to prohibit the issue of
bonds came 10 an end and the bill was

as passed covers only three lines, as
follows:
BE it enacted that the issuance Of
interest bearing bonds Of the United
States for any purpose whatever, with
out further authority of Congress, is
hereby prohibited.
A food of amendments was first voted
down, all being defeated.

until next December, which was de
feated. Then came the final vote, witt

Finest Fruit Trees.

The fruit growing industry in Craw
ford county is beginning to assume
mammoth proportions. This is as it
should be, for there is no one branch of
farm work that yields larger and
quicker returns on the investment than
does an orchard of first class fruit, such
as apples, peaches, pears, cherries,
plums, etc. 1t is on the line of good
policy for each farmer insthis county,
as well as other sections of the State, to
become a grower of fruit as well as
potatoes, corn, grain, etc. in order
that he may be properly compensated
for his labor. There cannot, under any
possibly chain of circumstances, be a
possibility of overproduction of fruit,
especially apples, for the more fruit
raised the more the demand by con-
sumers. Now, what is the duty of the
fruit grower2 Raise more fruit and
that of the best grade, and to do this he
should buy his trees from a nursery of
long established reputation. Such a
nursery is that of Stark Brothers at
Louisiana, Mo. which is represented
in this section by our friend, Mr.. w. l..
Morris, and any business entrusted to
him will be carefully and promptly at
tended to. 1t pays to plant Stark trees,
which are conceded by the best orchard
lists to be the finest fruit trees grown
in our country.

Dan Jones' Success.
From the Little Rock Gazette.

From the Little Rock Gazette
When Dan W. Jones announced his
candidacy for Governor on platform
opposed TO Rothschild and the devil all
the politicians predicted his defeat.
What an eye opener to them was 1t
when the one gallused Democracy in
the back counties were heard from
Dan Jones had more faith in the people
than did the politicians. Better still,
he had faith in the cause he espoused.
He knew he was right. Whether sue
cessful or not he preferred to sink with
that belief than to be triumphant on
false and deceptive issues. As the
people rallied TO his support, one by one
the great silver leaders Of the country
began to fall into the path marked out
by the Arkansas leader. If either
Grover Cleveland or John @. Carlisle is
nominated by the Democracy for Presi-
dent, said Gen. Jones in the opening
speech of his campaign, Il announce
TO you now that | will not support
him Afterwards the Arkansas silver
leader made this statement still broader ::
Il will support no man, he said,
who is an advocate Of the single gold
standard. No such can be nominated
except by the vote of states which never
gave Democratic electoral vote. To
agree to support such candidate is to
abandon principle and surrender to the
money power without a struggle.
There was no mistaking his position.
On every stump he proclaimed it. Not
only his friends but his opponents have
been astonished at the unanimity with
which the people have endorsed him
1t has been revelation to the Office
holding politicians The tide which
has been sweeping Jones into the guber-
Material chair has extended to adjoining
states. They, too, have caught the
fever. No gold cure can now stop its
rage.
Jones success simply demonstrates
that the people were ripe for revolt.
They were ready for some leader bold
and courageous enough to show them
the way out of the road into which they
had been led by the President. Like
the fathers of the revolution, Jones
staked his all on the result. Few men
would have done it, but with courage
that could but challenge the admiration
Of everyone, he went to the front, called
on the people TO rally to his standard
and they have done so with a unanimity
that is surprising to those who have not
kept in touch with the people.

primaries had rolled up an immense
majority for silver, almost mp to the
moment that the state convention

him that the Democrats Of the West

Silver Men Standardization Talks
MagnanimOusly.

LEXINGTON, Ky. May 81 The silver
leaders are iubilant to day over their
sweeping victory throughout the state
Yesterday. Accurate figures on returns
from the entire state show $40 silver
delegates to the State Convention
against 240 for gold. The silver men
carried every Congressional district in
the state except the Fifth, which is the
Louisville district. The western part
of the state, including the First, Second
and Fourth districts, did not send a
single sound money delegate, and for
that reason the leaders who have con
suited with Senator Blackburn think it
will be proper to make Western Ken
lucky man chairman of the convention.
The choice will probably fall between
exCongressman Goodnight of the Third
District and Congressman Stone of the
First. Stone is the one legged Congress
man whose initials are the same as
Governor Stone of Missouri, and whose
mail was always getting mixed with the
latter while they were in Congress to
gether. Senator Blackburn is disposed
to be magnanimous. He said to- night
This is no time for quarreling. The
success of the Democratic party ought
now to be the aim of every true Demo
crat. We have fought good fight and
we have won. We ought not to say an
unkind word Of our late opponents OF
censure those who came to us at the
eleventh hour.
The friends of Carlisle and Cleveland
are not so easily propitiated.
Senator Blackburn will probably be
made temporary chairman of the con
vention Wednesday. He is in splendid
spirit to night over his victory and the
hundreds Of congratulatory kilograms
he has received from all over the Union.
