Gave Back
Ny Health.

There is no reason for being respondent
and considering diseases of the blood
incurable, simply because the treatment
of physicians and many so-called blood
remedies fail to effect cure. Though
it is naturally disheartening to the suf-
ferer who faithfully takes the prescribed
treatment of the physicians, often at the
expense of hundreds of dollars, to find
himself, no better as time goes
by, still cure will result from the right
remedy, S.S.S., no matter what other
treatment has failed
The reason that S.S.S. (Swift's Spe-
cihc) has so successfully cured even the
worst cases after other treatment had
been tried in vain is that it is the only
remedy which forces the poison from
the blood and permanently eliminates
1t from the system, which is the only
correct principle of curing the disease.
Mercurial remedies bottle up the poison
and tear down the system, while S.S.S.
forces out the poison and builds up and
adds strength and vigor to the entire
system. 1t is natures remedy, and con-
tains no harmful ingredient.

Mr.. Charles Glenn, of 1868 Dudley ST.,
Cincinnati, is one of the many who
constantly praise S SIS. for giving him
back his health. He says:
"From childhood l was afflicted with
a terrible blood disease, and have
taken almost every blood remedy on the
market, but my case was deepseated,
and one by one they failed. The large,
red blotches increased in size and num-
Der, and soon covered my entire body.
"My parents had me treated by a num-
Der of physicians, but the disease was
too much for them, and after their tenn.
porary relief was over, / found myself
growing steadily worse. Thus l grew
into manhood, handicapped by terrible
disease aud having tried SO many RENE
dies without relief, when a friend urged
me to take SIS S. had little faith in any
medicine. was happy to find, however,
that had at gotten the right remedy,
for one bottle OF S. SIS did me so much
good that soon had hopes of being cured.
] continued the remedy, and was cured
completely, the unsightly spots soon
disappeared, leaving my skin perfectly
clear. My general health was also built
up, and am robust and strong. / be-
lieve SIS. will cure the worst case of
blood poison in the world"
S.S.S. is real blood remedy, and will
cure the most obstinate cases of Cancer,
Eczema, Catarrh, Scro ula, Rheumatism,
Contagious Blood Poison, old sores,
or any disease caused by impure blood.

UnIucky Saturday.

Last Saturday, Oct 9th, will 60 on the
local record as one of the most uulueky
days in history. IL was day OF accident
and sorrow for Randolph.
In the fornoon, Lysander Battles, who
lived on the line between Randolph and
Brookfield near North Randolph, was
starting to drive from his barn with a
threshiDg machine separator loaded on a
wagon when his spirited horses ran. As
they reached Charles Farr's place they
made a quick turn, throwing of Mr.. Bat
ties and the separator, which fell upon
him, pinning him to the ground. AS
quickly as possible sufficient help was pro
cured and the heavy machine pred up so
that NJ. Battles could be drawn out. IL
was found that one leg was broken and
badly crushed and he bled freely. He was
also injured internally and though medi
cal assistance arrived In about two hours
from the time OF the accident be expired
within half an hour after the doctor came.
He was partially conscious most OF the
time to the last. Mr.. Battles was SO years
old and left a wife and two children. The
funeral was held at the home Monday.
The blow is sad one and the family have
sincere sympathy in their great loss.
Mrs. Almon Morse was thrown from her
buggy while driving near Clarence +.
Moulton's place Saturday afternoon and
her left collar bone was fractured and she
is about IS years old the accident is quite
a serious one, though she is progressing
nicely.
In the afternoon, two sons OF Frank 5.
Newton, who had been hunting, lay down
to rest ia he rear OF Mrs. Fanny Vinton's.
In some way as yet unexplained, the gun
was discharged and the charge of shot,
with wadding and powder, struck the
youngest boy, Leonard, in the lett fore
arm near the wrist, carrying away the up
per portion of it and SCATTERING the bones.
There was no alternative but to amputate
the member, which was done half way
between the elbow aud wrist. As the boy
was left handed, the accident is especial
ly unfortunate. The lad has much sympa-
thy, which has taken tangible form in a
subscription of quite a sum OF money,
raised through the efforts of his mates.
While all these distressing incidents
were occurring, Mrs. Jane Clough was
suffering from peculiar accident. While
cooking pork steak Friday morning at
the home of Samuel Spear of Braintree,
where she was visiting, she tasted the
meat. She has been afflicted for some
time with structure ofthe aesophogas, and
when she undertook to swallow the meat
IL lodged before il reached her stomach.
She could breathe and talk, but could not
swallow. Medical assistance was called
and various expedients tried but in vain
until Saturday night when Dr.L. M.Bing-
Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1897-10-14

ham OF Burlington was summoned. He
used all the methods that had previously
been employed and was taking measure
ment with flexible instrument having a
bulb at the end to determine where to
proceed with the surgical operation that
had been deemed the woman's only hope
for life, when more by accident than de-
sign the bulb caught the obstruction and
removed it. Mrs. Clough could not swal-
low food or water for 36 hours and her
condition was alarming.
Drs. M. l.. and q. w. Scott were the at
tending surgeons in all of these cases, act
ing with DIR. Bingham in the last.

COLORADO RESIGNED.

The effect of the decline in silver to
55% cents an ounce and the probabiii-
ty of a further fall to perhaps so cent?,
which seems to be conceded by those
in the best position to judge present
conditions is the current topic of con.
verJation among mining men. Though
some are greatly discouraged by the
outlook fer mining ir Colorado, the
general opinion seems to be that the
decline of silver will have no verf
serious effect upon the mines, because
there is comparatively little silver now
mined in the state, except in connec-
tion with copper. gold, and lead min
ing. There is a possibility hat some
Of the Aspen and Creole properties
will shut down. but aside from these
there will be little change in the situa
ton here.

THE total wheat crop of the United
States for the current year is conserva
lively estimated from 500, 000, 900 Il
100000. 900 bushels, of which we shal.
have, probably, a surplus of 100, 900,
600 bushels for export. The European
shortage is estimated at upwards Of
100, 900, 900 bushels, while Brazil, the
Argentine and some other countries
will be obliged to import large quaint
ties. There is a strong probability
that "dollar wheat" will be a tangible
reality before the end Ct the year. Blu
silver continues to decline, and there
is no indication that the bottom has
been reached.
