RHEUMATISM
CAN BE CURED
FILTERED BLOOD.
Morrow's Method of Curing Diseases
Accusing the Interest of Scientists.

Morrow's Method of Curing Diseases
Accusing the Interest of Scientists.
PLY sicians of all schools are beginning
to realize that the primary cause OF near
yeyery disease that attacks. the human
system is the failure of the kidneys to
perform the duties nature assigned them.
The blood is constantly absorbing from
the different articles of food taken into
the stomach, various impurities, which If
permitted to course through the system,
quickly render the blood unfit to carry on
the process of healthy nutrition and ultl-
mately result in the development of dis
ease. ,
1t is the duty of the kidneys to filter the
blood the slightest irregularity in the
performance of this function is immediate
iy manifested in a general weaking of the
body; tendency to give out with little
exertion. The symptom is closely follow
ed by others of much more distressing ma
ture which it is often customary to attri-
butte to other causes.
John Morrow, an eminent chemist OF
Springfield, Ohio, using as a basis for his
work the theory that the kidneys are re-
sponsible for the condition of our health,
has produced new remedy which he has
named Morrow's Kidneoids, the purpose
of which is to act directly on the kidneys
eliminating all unnatural deposits ana
rectifying the damage caused by their
existence.
The remarkable results obtained by this
medicine have attracted wide attention
and established new method of treating
disease, the efficacy of which cannot be
disputed
Morrow's Kidneoids are prepared in vel
! low tablets so small as to almost rob them
of their virtue in the eyes of those not
versed in medicine, but so potent is thelr
influence that their effects are noticed al
most Immediately
They are now on sale generally. If not
to be had of your dealer, they will be sent
postpaid on receipt of so cents per box
s boxes for $3.50, by the Herb Medicine
Co., Springfield, Ohio.

The state Fish Com mission.

The Vermont fish and game commission
ers, in their biennial report, ask for no
more than a repetition of the $500 bien-
NAL appropriation made two years ago
Superintendent Bailey shows that the fish
work pays directly in a money way by Civ
ing the hatchery figures. During the two
years ending June 80 last the output of
the hatchery was 2, 2SS, 900 fry and 50, 900
fingerlings. At the market price this prod
uct was worth $6334, or 1894 more than
the total expense of the fish and game com
mission, fish hatchery and all.
The fry and fingerlings were distributed
all over the state, as reports have from
time to time showed. OF the fry |, 6l3, 900
were brook trout, as were all the finger
lings. Other fish were the Won Behr trout,
rainbow trout and lake trout. Since the
hatchery began business in 1892 there
have been ., 705, 800 fry of all kinds dis
tributed from it.
The report shows that the commissioners
have exercised commendable activity in re
spect to propagating and protecting fish
and game, and gives many details of spec
ial interest to sportsmen and all others con
cerned in promoting sporting. The su-
preme court decision affirming the consti-
tutionality of the posting law appears in
the appendix, with a paper read by Com
missioner Titcomb at Detroit on collecting
wild trout spawn, as well as a mass of in
formation about Vermont fish streams and
ponds
The commission recommends a law to
avert the rapid exhaustion of streams
stocked by the state, and ''sawdust" law
as well as the repeal of the open season
law for deer and provision against run
ming deer by dogs, with sundry other mat
tiers, local and general. Especially inter
esting is the suggestion that partridges are
killed by market hunters much more than
by sportsmen and that it might be well to
protect the birds by law prohibiting their
sale in market. 1t is also recommended
that the legislature establish a forestry
commission. i Rutland Herald.

Wholesale worthless Check Business.

Former Hotel Man at Randolph Did a
Wholesale worthless Check Business.
James L. Battles, formerly proprietor of
the Red Lion Inn at Randolph, was arrest
ed in Boston last week charged with ex-
tensive operations with worthless checks.
He began his illegal work last July and
since then has defrauded many business
firms of Boston and its suburban cities.
He would fill in blank check, forging the
name of some reputable business house,
and then give it to some merchant from
whom he would order bill of goods. He
made point always to have his purchase
amount to about So, in payment for which
he would present a check for 80 or Sl5,
thus procuring only small amounts at
time. Battles was a glib and plausible
talker and succeeded in impressing the
merchants with his honesty. When the
goods ordered were sent TO the residence
given by him it was always found that he
did not live there, and the checks would
be returned by the bank later as worthless.
He was suspected by a coal dealer of whom
he ordered ton of COAL offering a forged
check in payment, and the officers had no
difficulty in following him by the clues
given them. Three checks were found
upon his person and he confessed his guilt,
saying, you have me at last" Battles
pleaded guilty in the Roxbury district
court last Thursday to three counts against
him and not guilty on the other FIVE. He
was found guilty on all and was sentenced
to six months Imprisonment on each count
or four wears in all Battles was formerly
connected with the American House at st.
Adams and with hotel in Woodstock.

shot Near A DIsreputable House.

Thomas P. Hogan, son of Policeman
Patrick Hogan, was shot about $3.50 Sun
day evening by somebody in Fanny Bor-
rette's disreputable house on Intervale
avenue, Burlington. 1t is supposed that
the shot was fired by Edward Howe, the
bouncer in the house. The shot took eff
feet in the back on the left side, three or
four inches from the spine. The young
man is in the hospital but is not thought
to be in a serious condition. He claims
that he was passing the house when the
door was opened suddenly and the shot
fired Howe is under arrest. He says
that Hogan and another young man and
three soldiers attempted to enter the house.
He refused them admission. Soon a shot
was fired in the yard and a shutter was
smashed by somebody on the outside. He
stepped into the yard and fired his revolver
into the air, with the intention of frighten-
ing the men away. When he went inside
another shot was fired. The BoTrette es-
tabllshment has had bad reputation, and
has been the scene recently of several wild
disturbances in which the soldiers have
figured.
