The Story of
Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. D., IL. 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-
guishcd medical men than any other
family in America. His father was
DR.. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who
procured the charter of the State
medical society, of which he was for
thirty years a 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.
At the early age of twenty-four his
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. Its peculiar vegetable compost
ton rendered it necessary to brew il
whenever needed in the early days OF
its history, and after the scattering OF
the Puritan families to remote locali-
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 DIR. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
the result of which is: Natures Cure
compounded in the laboratory OF
Common Sense.

and Miss May Goodell of Maiden are with
Mrs. c. c. Goodel for the summer.
The lawn party given by the social COM
mittee of the Christian Endeavor society
at the residence of Mr.. K. Miller was at
tended by a goodly company, mostly of
young people. A tent was pitched upon
the lawn, the grounds were lighted with
Chinese lanterns, ice cream, cake and straw
berries were served, and every one present
enjoyed the occasion, including, little Miss
Olive Amy Hall, the youngest of the COM
pany.
There is to be Fourth of July gather
ing and picnic on Saturday at the Hall
place, now owned by Frank L. Harlow. 1t
is under the direction of the officers of the
grange but it is meant for and the invita-
ton to attend is extended to the public
generally. There are to be some literary
exercises as well as the opening of the pic
mic baskets, and it is hoped that the day
may be made happy one to the whole
community.
The schools closed last week. The fol-
lowing pupils in No. are reported as
present every day of the term: Lucy But
terrified, Annie Gorham, Ruth Harlow,
Ralph Harlow, May Goodhue, Abbie Has
tings. With only one absence; Lillian
Cook, Mark Braley, Clifford Goodhue,
Benton Gorham. Average attendance
81 IL. In No 10 of the II scholars
had no mark for the term: Harlan Barnes,
Cora Barnes, Alice Barnes, Harry Barnes,
Charles Hitchcock, Ira Hitchcock, Nellie
Hitchcock, Herbert Jones, Henry Moul-
trop, May Barnes.
The childrens day services under the
auspices of the grange which took place
last Saturday afternoon brought together
nearly all the children of the place, and a
goodly number of the older people. The
exercises, consisting of music, singing, re-
citations and readings were well rendered,
several of the wee boys and girls carrying
off their parts very entertainingly. Every
one was interested in the efforts of these
children of four and five years of age. II
seems to be certain that there is to be nc
lack in the future of such as will take hold
enthusiastically to help such entertain-
ments. Refreshments in plenty were pro
vided for the whole company and the
afternoon was one of true pleasure and
profit to old and young, parents and chill
dren alike.

Another Bad Bicycle Accident.

AhOtheE hhU bicycle AccluehNs
Another serious bicycle accident occurred
here last evening whereby Flint Elder,
grandson of Wyman Flint, was terribly in
jured. At about 1880 in company with
his brother Gordon, Dan Linton and Mrs.
G. G.. Smith, he was riding on the Rock
ingham road near the "Four pines" at the
north end of the village. Flint was in the
rear of the rest and all except Mrs. Smith
were on the narrow sidewalk next to the
railroad in order to avoid the sand caused
by repairs in the street. How the accident
happened none of the rest of the party can
tell, but Flint went off the edge of the
bank and, with his wheel, landed on the
railroad nearly so feet below. The marks
on the bank show he plowed on his face
the larger part of the way down. When
the rest of the party reached him he was
unconscious, but soon revived somewhat.
Drs. Campbell and Matthews were soon on
the spot and examination showed bad
fracture of one arm and serious Commissions
on the head and face. Bruises were found
on all parts of the body, and after he re-
covered from the effects of ether admins
tered he vomited some blood, so that inter-
nal injuries are feared. Much sympathy
is expressed in the whole village for the
grandparents in their new sorrow. Flint
is about Is years old, while his brother,
Gordon, is but IL. Their home is in
Maiden, Mass. The younger boy had been
here week or two, but Flint came only
the day before for a vacation which he al
ways enjoys so much with his relatives
here. 1t is possible that the injuries will
not be permanent, but they certainly are
severe,

About 1880 yesterday forenoon an
alarm of fire was rung in from box %.
The three hose companies, hook and lad
der and chemical engines responded imme-
diately. The fire proved to be in the
small house just off School street, owned
by Clark Chase and occupied by Charles
Dean. Mrs. Dean was preparing the fam
lily dinner over a gasoline stove when in
some way it was overturned and the con-
tents of the tank quickly ignited. Mr.
Chase happened to be driving by at the
moment, and, hearing Mrs. Deans cries
for help, Immediately rung in the alarm.
The fire was well under way, but the fire.
men worked well and saved the walls of
the building. Nearly all the furniture in
the front of the house was saved, but that
in the L was entirely ruined. The loss is
estimated at about $500. Mrs. Dean re-
ceived serious burns about her face and
arms, but will soon recover. The family
moved into a tenement in the Dewey
house on Henry street.

Death of Hosea Mann. sr

Hosea Mann, ST., who died on Tuesday,
June 80, was one of the oldest men in
town and was well known Throughout the
county. He was born in Dummerston,
Oct. Is, 1901, and was thus nearly % years
of age. His father was clergyman, the
Rev. James Mann. The family removed
to Dover in 1918 and he resided in that
town until 1890, when he moved to Will
mington to live with his only son, Hosea
Mann, jr. His life work was that of a
farmer, in which occupation he was unu-
sually successful. He purchased a large
tract of land, over 1900 acres, and looked
after the details personally. He was hard
working, industrious man, and accumulat-
ed a large property. He rarely accepted
public office, but when he did he discharg-
ed every duty with great fidelity.
In early life he was very feeble in health
and at times his life was despaired of, but
by careful attention to the laws of health
and maintenance of strict temperance prin-
ciples he developed an iron constitution,
never seeing sick day until near the close
of his life. His power for endurance and
capacity for hard work was simply wonder
full. He had a remarkable memory, which
faculty he retained until near the close of
his life. He was a great reader, and kept
well informed as to the events of the day.
In 1S45 he married Betsey Howard who
died in 1856; no children were born of this
union. In 1857 he married Maria Grous-
beck Fox, who died about two years ago.
OF this union was born one child, Hosea
Mann, jr., prominent and progressive
citizen of this town, well known through
out the county and state. Thus one by
one the old citizens are passing away; very
few of those who were active men of gem
Grafton ago are now living. The burial
was from the house on Thursday, Rev. Mr..
Bissell officiating.

Should be a Duty Placed Upon the
Raw Material.
OMAHA, Dec. 25.-Mr H. T. OK
nard, President of the American Beet
Sugar Association, said this evening ::
" While Congress Is placing q duty
upon so many other things why are
the American sugar producers not
protected. I was surprised to note
the action Of the Ways ard Means
Committee in neglecting tots feature.
American sugar i produced in the
United States by rivals of the trust.
The American producers are strug
CLING for existence, and al increased
duty on raw sugar is the only practi-
cal method Of stimulating the Industry
in tie United States. The duty on re
fined sugar helps the great sugar trust,
but the duty on the raw article as
sists the producers Of the country
generally and Indirectly the great
agricultural interests.
GA duty of Is per cent. on both raw
and refined would help the American
beet sugar producers without benefit
ing the trust, since the trust must
purchase its raw material abroad.
The production of every pound Of
sugar by the American producers
entering its consumption in this cOun-
try means so much less business fer
the trust, hence the trust is anxious
to hinder the development of the
home product The danger is. that
the Ways and Means Committee, in
ignorance of the true situation, will
fatally cripple the rapidly growing
industry of beet sugar manufacture in
the United States. The West is vital
