They tell story on Hon. George
Pottle of Lewiston, one of the board Of
State assessors, that gives his friends
much amusement, and likewise himself.
On recent morning he had some work
to do about his house, and, after finish
ing, had occasion to go down street on
some little business of his own. 1t was
a very cold morning. the kind Mr..
POttle enjoys, and his pleasant coun-
tenance beamcd on the several ac-
quaintances he CHANGED to meet on his
way through the streets. On each he
noticed very pleasant return, and a
smile even broader than usual, as he
passed along. He went into a store
where there were a number that he
knew, and as these same broad smiles
met him there he concluded there must
be something wrong. 1t was all right
enough, of course, but Mr.. Pottle had
on his last summers straw hat. which
he is accustomed to put on while look
ing after things about the house and
which he had forgotten to change when
he left on his trip down town.

Walter Davenport of Phillips. shot
a very peculiarly colored fox recently.
MIR. Davenport describes it as being
very large, measuring four feet. three
inches in length from tip to tip, and as
near the color of silver dollar as any

The Story Of
Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, M. 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.
atoms 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 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, 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
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 "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 fsmily recipe for it has de-
scended to the long line Of Crosby
physicians fron 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 locali-
ties, where the necessary ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
were mado to put it up in permanent
form, all OF which failed until DR.. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
the result O. which is: Natures Cure
compounded in the laboratory Of
Common Sense.
