Der than usual In July, August Is the
month for the greatest gathering. The
weather has been very warro, for this To-
cation. We have had three very heavy
thunder showerg-ono on Wednesday,
Sunday and Monday, coming up very
suddenly and clearing away as suddenly,
which reminds me of sermon heard by
Rev Dir Adams Of Bethel, a short time
since, when he spoke Of that very pecu}-
iarity OF showers on this lake. And this
calls to mind q story heard some years
ago (said to have been cruC). A profes-
sor hired bOatmau to take him out for
sail, The professor asked the man IL
he understood mathemst tics and Latin.
The man answered, mo" Then" said
the professor, you have lost one-half Of
your life" Soon there came up a severe
gale and capsized the boat. Can you
swim ~ asked the bo8tman OF the profess
sor. NO" was the reply. Then"
said the man, You have lost the whole
of your life" We have had some very
interesting and instructive lectures, one
entitled, Acres Of Diamonds" another
on "Garibaldi," by Rev Russell ConweH
OF Philadelphia, one, the Manufacturing

noted M. D., one on Dickens az an Edu.

is called the Coventry England, on
sewage by chemical precipitation, which
is very interesting, as it is so effectuaI,
and is matter that ought to be called to
the attention of all. As l have before
referred to it, will say no more about it,
AS to the water supply, it is very pure,
being brought from the lake, which is
fed by springs almost entirely. Now
these are two very important factors, 10

"My mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over year.
She was unable 20 stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was SO weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered so much
that she became but the shadow OF her.
self. One day happened to read tes-
timonial about Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t
Sounded So Truthful
/ persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in alf
four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
is AZ years old and says she feels as we'll

made a complete cure in her case"
