A FORTUNATE DISCOVERY.
PROF. FARRAND SAID TO HAVE FOUND A
POSITIVE CURE FOR ASTHMA AND
IL

HAY FEVER.
Among the few really eminent botan-
lists of America, Prof. Farrand of Ver-
mont easily stands in the front rank, and
discovery that he has recently made
will do much to add to his fame. In his
journeys to different parts of the country
to gather medicinal herbs, roots and barks
for the leading American and European
pharmacists, he has naturally spent much
time in the Adirondack regions, that
health-giving resort for cOnsumptives.
asthmatics, and all sufferers from res
piratOry diseases. Here hay fever is un-
known, asthmatics breathe freely, and
even consumptives conquer their racking
cough in the bracing forest air.
Prof. Farrand became impressed with
the idea that the herbs and leaves which
fill the Adirondack air with aromatic
healing could be gathered by HIM and
sent to the homes of sufferers who can
not afford the time or money to 90 away.
His great botanical knowledge and prac-
tical acquaintance with the medicinal
values of all plants peculiarly fitted him
tor his task.
He found a happy combination that
gave the peculiar fragrance of the Adj
rOndack woods, and samples we're sent
to various scientists and leading physi-
clans. the Professor calling it the Adj
rOndaCk Asthma Cure. SevPnty-three
per cent of the cases in which 1t was
used, some of them seemingly hopeless,
reported a cure, while in all the others
great benefit was derived.
The different herbs and barks that are
used by Prof Farrand in the Adirondack
asthma cure have to be gathered at a
certain season of the year, when their
medicinal value is at its height, and he
was able to get but limited amount. As
long AS this quantity lasts, it Is offered to
the public generally by the DR.. Howard
Co., Burlington, VT. who will mail a
large sized box for fifty cents. They do
not want pay from those whom this
pr eparation does not cure, and will re-
turn the money to any whom the Adiron-
dack Asthma Cure fails to benefit. One
of the peculiar advantages of this cure,
which will make it seem godsend to
the asthmatic or hay fever sufferer, is
that the user awakes as refreshed and
bright in the morning as if he had actual
ly slept in the invigorating air of the
Adirondacks. Send fifty cents at once
to the DR.. Howard Co., Burlington, VT,
and cure disease that so often brings
the sufferer near to deaths door, and yet
allows him to live to suffer again and
again.

Judge Slade suggested that inasmuch
as there was no contest over delegates to

to select them first and have that part of
the business out of the way. G.. NJ.

FRIDAY, JUNE y, 1896.

We issue this week an edition of 900,
adding a supplement containing a discus
sion of the financial questions now so
prominently before the public. This is
the second large edition of the REGISTER
that we have published within the last
few weeks, and it is the intention to fol-
low with others, thus greatly increasing
the value of the paper for advertising
purposes.
We have also added to the equipment
of the Office new job press, one of the
best that could be obtained, which, to-
gether with the very large and excel
lent building in which the REGISTER Of
flee is situated, enables us to do ali kinds
of job work to the best advantage.
Prices for the same will be reasonable.
We are happy to announce shat the
president and faculty of Middlebury col
lege have promised to contribute
to this paper from time to time articles
of interest. We have reason to expect
also that VIM. II. Bliss, Esq, so well
known in this vicinity and now of
Burlington, will occasionally furnish an
article. We shall hope to be able to an
nounce later still other contributors.
Especially will we hope to interest our
lady subscribers, 80 that they will add
contributions. Mrs. DORIS beautiful
poem, "The Doves at Mendon", that ap-
pears in our present issue, illustrates the
capabilities of a Vermont woman in litera-
ture, and she is by no means the only
one thus gifted.
In the coming presidential campaign
the REGISTER will work for what it be-
lieves to be the rights and wants of the
people. The most important question now
under discussion is that of the currency;
whether we shall return to the old prin-
ciple of bmetallism or adopt a gold
standard. In either case we shall have
sound money. There will be no question
about that; that is, every American
dollar will be of equal value and good
the world oyer.
But bimetallism means double the
amount of metal from which to make our
lONOmP1iOh hiOhNy anu eiihO means
double the amount of money in circulation.
1t is very evident from the present condi-
ton of prices that larger volume of
money is imperatively needed. This is
so manifestly true that we are amazed
to perceive that scarcely a single paper
in the State, except the REGISTER, urges
its importance, indeed its absolute neces-
sity, to bring back prosperity or give the
farmer living chance.
The blow that struck down bimetal-
lism by the demonetlzation of silver
also struck down prices, prostratlng all
industries, but especially the great one
of farming. We do not believe the farm
ers of Vermont will allow the cond-
tions to continue which have brought
about these results. We do not believe
that they will vote long for any party
which refuses to correct them, nor do
we believe that they will long pat
ronize a press that whether from
ignorance or cowardice or self-interest
fails to speak the truth on this most
Important subject.
The REGISTER will be sent, postage
paid, to new subscribers, during this
presidential campaign for the low price
of so cents.

PERSON Al,

Mr.. Warren S. Bellows resigned as
first bookkeeper for L. Candee G. Co.
last evening and has accepted a similar
position with the Grosvenordale Man
ufacturing company of Providence, r..
I. MIR. Bellows resignation is deeply
regretted by his associates in the office
of the company, he having been as
highly regarded by them as he was un-
doubleday esteemed and appreciated by
those officers of the company with
whom he came in contact. He will be
missed by the employees generally.
MIR. Clarence e. Bolmer, manager of
the New Haven branch of Prince e
Whitley New York, has returned from
New York, where he attended the fun
erai of his father, the late Manuel T.
Bolmer. The deceased was descended
from one of the old Knickerbocker fam
lilies Of the metropolis and was a court
ly gentleman of the old school and a
man justly held in high esteem. He
died suddenly last Friday evening at
his home, &c East Sixtieth street. He
was well enough to take drive in the
afternoon, and in the evening he was
sitting in his room chatting with the
ihClIifJtio VI Ilio y" lltIl. NitlIout
a word of warning, he fell back in his
chair dead. Heart disease was the
cause of death. Mr.. Bolmer was born
in New York seventy-five years ago.
He was educated at the Bethlehem
school in Pennsylvania, and afterward
he studied law. Although he was ad-
mitted to the bar, he never practiced,
devoting his entire time to the manage
ment of his fathers estate, which was
very large. When he was thirty years
old Mr.. Bolmer bought the house which
formerly stood on the site of Greystone,
the home of the late Samuel J. Tilden,
and he lived there for more than TWEEN

member of st. Thomas church, and
the funeral was held there on Monday
