The Story of
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-
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 q 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 DR.. DiXi Crosby himself was
the inventor and discoverer of various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including new and
unique mode of reducing metacarpo-
phalangeal dislocation, opening of alb
sccss at hip-joint, etc, etc.
At the early age of twentyfour 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 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
wore maao to put it up in permanent
firm, 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.

Some idea of the unrelablity of the
news received from Cuba can be obtain
ed from statements made by special
correspondent in Harper's Weekly
The writer visited Jaruco one of the
cities which had been visited by the in
surgents He says; "We entered a bar
ricaded street, on both sides of which
loomed up the broken walls of former
houses, which told at once how the true
state of affairs was suppressed by the
government. Here was city which
had been sacked and burned by the
enemy, the embers of which were still
smouldering, yet the official report read
that Maceo had attacked the city and
burned few matched houses, that the
military commander having had notice
of the intended attack sent troops to its
defense, and that the enemy had been
repulsed with great losses In reality
the insurgents had full possession of the
city, as long as they wished and destroyed
and took away large amount of prop
erty.

Bradstreet's says:-The only conspicu-
ously favorable feature of the general
business situation is found in the re-
port of the February gross railway
earnings throughout the country. The
receipts of 126 companies last month
were larger with single exception
than any preceding month, but were
unsatisfactory. Jobbers report the
spring trade of a waiting character, due
to belated snow storms and unusually
cold weather.

! The towns and cities that want new
bridges are not putting their trust in
the wooden old-timers to any great eX-
tent The Gardiner structure across
the kennebec, for instance. can be
about as cheaply rebuilt with iron as
with wood, the engineer estimating the
/ expense at $50 per foot exclusive of
three new stone piers to cost about
/ 1000 piece. Gardiner can get along
with 100 feet of new bridge but feels
like spending lit:le money and max
ing the thing iron from shore to shore.
That is a little more expensive now but
cheaper in the end.

The Canadian Republican committee
has made a strike for liberty by issuing
a vigorous manifesto addressed to the
Canadian people, declaring the yoke of
England too much of burden and that
the time has come to change from a
Colonial dependency to an independent
republic 1t cites among many reasons
that the people are oppressed by taxes,
and that S30,0o0,000 are sent out each
year from Canada to pay interest ON
British loans. Thousands of copies of
the manifesto have been distributed
among the French and English residents
and it has created good deal of ex-
element

Russia began the work of building for
herself a real navy fifteen years ago and
now stands third among the sea powers,
having out-ranked Germany and Italy.
Since 1889 Russia has launched sixteen
battle ships, two armored guuboats,
three armored cruisers and ten cruisers
and torpedo gunboats, at cost of 3d.
100000. The number of sailors and Of
ficers has been proportionately increased.
New battle ships will be added each
year and it is evidently that country

The sugar manufacturers in some
provinces of Cuba are in an uncomfort-
able position. Gen. Weyler tells them
to begin grinding and the insurgent
troops etlectually prevent them from
doing so. 1t is the policy of Cuban
generals to harass the Spanish army as
much as pos sible, destroy bridges, rail
roads, and i'll many cases other property
but avoid a general engagement Gen,
Weyler is trying hard to corner the
armies of Gen. Gomez and Maceo but
finds it exceedingly difficult to do.

A comparison of the statistics of
women in business in 1850, when the
census was taken, over the number SO
employed twenty years before, is inter
esting. In 1870 there were 84,047 wo-
men teachers; in 1890 there were 245-
965, The army of saleswomen increas-
ed, too, from over 1000 to over $4,000
in the same length of time, and stenog-
raphers have multiplied from 1000 to
more than "a 600. Journalists, notwith-
standing the popular idea that news
paper women are very numerous, count
only 1888, against 30 twenty years before
and are considerably outnumbered by
women breaches, who count l225.

But nothing could be gained to the
cause Of temperance in the state Of
Mai as Il whole by the adoption Of
either local option or license The sale
would be greatly increased instead of
diminished under the sanction of law
and we should have open bars and gild-
ed, fashionable drinking places instead
OF the traffic being under the odum of
illegality and driven into back fooms and
away from the public gaze.
Local option is no easier of enforce
ment in towns that vote for it than is
prohibition. In a Massachusetts, city
recently after a long legal fight, dealer
with fines amounting to several hundred
dollars, forced compromise with the
prosecuting officer and agreed to
suspend the sale Of rum for the remain
der OF the municipal year, until May LIST,
aud pay the paltry sum of $1,000 TO have
the processes against him quashed. We
can do much better in enforcing the
prohibitory law in Maine than that.
Even the license law, where rum is sold
as open as day and where it flows almost
as freely as water, is violated and liquors
sold by persons having no license.
Rumsellers of all grades believe in and
advocate a license law. This is sigui-
ficant argument against it. 1t is not
logical for law makers to consult the
wishes of law breakers in making
changes in the criminal code, and the
law makers of Maine are not going to
do it in the near future.
Rumsellers, in common with all other
people, expect security from law to
their persons and property. Should any
man apply the torch of the incendiary
to their property, or steal their money
or assault their person they would, and
rightfully too, promptly invoke the
majesty of the law to protect them in
their rights and punish those who have
violated the law to their disadvantage,
and they would expect officers of the
law to make every possible effort to
bring the guilty person to justice. IN
this they are right, but they are not
right in trampling under foot persistent
ly and continually and def mlly Il
chapter of the same statutes they invoke
for their own benefit. They cannot
make fish of one and flesh of the other.
All statutes, in the legal aspect of the
ease, are equally sacred aud binding
and any man who expects the protection
and benefit of laws should refrain from
the wilful violation of any Que of them.
! If, however, they do persist in breaking
the law they must reasonably expect TO
suffer the penalty, especially when that
