Mr.. Bryan is about the medium in
night. His face is cleanly shaven, and
IN appearance he resembles the great
PENNSYLVANIA commoner, Samuel J.
Randall, who at Mr.. Rryan's age might
readily have passed for the latter's twin
brother. He is a strict churchrlan, is
earnest and enthusiastic in whatever
cause enlists his synpathies, and it is
not doubted that his personality will
largely influence the approaching cam
paign.

penditures this year have been extraor-

tenth of what, the above figures un-

largely due to the increased fire and

Every cent of it has been in response to an
imperative public demand. The next ten

increase. AS the city grows of course ex-
penditures must grow. That is to be ex

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Story 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 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, DIR. 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 DIR. 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 g 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 it
whenever needed in the early days of
it's 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 DR.. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
the result of which is: Natures Cure
compounded in the laboratory of
Common Sense.
