about the usual results enumerated.
These causes may have had something

The Useful Horse Radish.

That acrid alien Of the bitches and
field corners, botanically named armo.
racia, but almost universally known as
horse radish, is not only serviceable as a
popular associate for hot wienerwursta
and in giving roast meats keen edge,
but it has also good supply of medici-
nal properties. From it comes that
tongue biting ooncoction, compound
spirit of horse radish. The spirit-prop
erly taken-has caused many dyspeptio-
to bless the day the hot root was first
discovered AS sudorific horse radisb
has elected many favorable testimonials
from hopeless cases of chronic rheuma-
tism, and dropsy sufferers have often
found temporary relief by using the
property as a diuretic.

DR.. r. G. FLOWER
OF Boston Coming to St. Johnsbury.

DR.. X. c. Flower, the world-renowned
specialist from Boston, will be at the St.
Johnsbury House this city next Tuesday,
Oct. 49, DR.. Flowers great work in the
treatment and cure of cancer, tumor,
paralysis, heart, kidney, stomach and
nerve diseases has created an enthusiasm
among the sick everywhere.
We published an article short time
ago regarding DR.. Flowers miraculous
cures. 1t reads like a fairy tale, and il
true, it goes without saying that DR.. r..
c. Flower comes nearer raising the dead,
curing the incurable by his new scientific
methods than any living physician. The
writer of these wonderful cures declares
that every statement is the living, genu.
inc truth. The cures included many of
the most prominent men and women in
the East, and in each case the name and
address is given so the plain facts can be
verified by any one.
DR.. X. {. FlC wer is no newcomer in
this country as for nearly a generation
he has startled the world by seemingly
miraculous cures. A recent writer in de-
scribing DR.. Flowers cure of the ten-year-
old daughter of DR.. Taylor of Paige,
Tex, of large tumor after being given
up as incurable by the leading physicians
OF the South, says: I'm the sick room
DR.. X. Z. Flower is master, to him the
incurable diseases are of small conse-
quence, he toys with death as playthng
brings sunshine to the sick room Of
shadow and gloom, and handles and
cures fatal maladies like ordinary dis
eases. To DR.. Flower there is rarely ever
an incurabe disease, and every year he
adds thousands of living, shining testi-
monjals to his history of cures"
