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 moro distin-
guished 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 o 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
tho inventor and discoverer Of various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including q new and
unique mode Of reducing metacarpo-
phalangeal dislocation, opening Of alb
scess ct hip-joint, etc., etc.
At the early age Of twsnty-four his
extraordinary skill and success in over.
coming disease had already attracted
the attention Of medical men through
out tho 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-
como 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 tho
original family recipe for It has de-
scended to the long line Of Crosby
physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost
tion rendered It necessary to brew it
whenever needed In tho early days of
its history, and after the scattering of
tho Puritan families to remote locali-
ties, where the necessary ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
were made to put 1t up in permanent
form, all otwhich failed until DR.. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
tho result Of which is: Natures Cure
compounded In the laboratory Of
Common Sense.

It is rather too early yet for us to deter
be as popular this summer as, they were
last. AS white costumes, however, will be
worn more than ever, the probabilities are
that the white shoe will be more or less in
evidence. One rather remarkable novelty In
this line has, for its most striking character
istic, a celluloid heel, which, 1t is claimed,
is particularly light and elastic. The shoe
brogued, and Is altogether desirable for hot
weather, as 1t is very cool and comfortable
and becoming to those fortunate people who
have very small, slenderg feet.
II matinees are ever more desirable at one
season than another, that time must be ap-

refuse to blow. Here Is something truly

Greek jacket. The, sleeves are of white
chaiis and pink silk, quite separate, finely
p!eated and cut in large squares 1t is not
possible to convey in words adequate idea
of the charm of the garment, and 1 can only
say that wanted to own 1t inexpressibiy.
Black and white in combination always
has charm Of it's cwn and seems to be
worn even more than usual this summer.
One jacket l particularly noticed as desir-
able, because it was very stylish and added
to that the very pleasing quality Of looking
well with a most any dress. 1t 2f black
summer Goth bordered with white shaped
embroidery in applique, the latter being out
lined wi l. very narrow black braid. There
were tiny pockets IN the 'front.' corners for
two fingers, and three revers or roll collars
at the neck, also trimmed with the white
embroidery. For general wear nothing could
be more satisfactory.

tinge and with white figures. the
front near the waist line was slightly
draped, and the side breadth was faced
with tan colored satin and folded in
jabot form to the waist line. The
front closed diagonally across the
waist and opened over a guimpe of the
tan satin, upon which were sewed am
Der beads. The opening was faced
with the satin in form of a bertha,
with row of narrow amber passemen-
terie. If the lady thought this looked
too much like a "goldbug" gown, she
was at liberty to have it of any other
color she desired. The same design
developed in other colors or even ma
terials would be handsome. 1t is gown
for youth, but by varying the trim
ming 1t could be adapted to the require
ments of middle aged ladies.

Today l saw a new lot of bathing
suits and as these offer some new
features 1 will mention them. Some Of
them remind one of the Chinese wom-

in the shape of the blouse and trousers
The material was of blue and white
stirred bedticking, with bands of heavy
blue braid around the bottom of the
trousers and down the front Some
say bedticking makes a fine bathing
suit as 1t does not take water or sag

band of white braid. The skirt to this

three rows of the braid around it and
up the front to the belt, which was Of
the same braid tied like ribbon belt.

The process has always been cOnsid-
