FROM ESSEX.
A Stray Item OF News Picked up by
Our Representative.

When newspapers had only the stage
coach and sailing vessels to depend upon
to gather foreign news when the tele-
graph, the telephone, the steam engine,
steamboat and electric motor were not in
existence, coffee houses and inns were
regularly thronged by loungers. and the
public generally who exchanged scraps of
information brought to them by the post
and who listened to the news read aloud
to them by some habitue The item which
follows was picked up by our representa-
tive while stroling around Essex, and al
though the reader Is not indebted to cleo
tricity or steam power for the information
1t contains, it Is just as interesting and
decidedly more reliable. Read this:
Mr.. II. w. Butler, upholsterer. who
lives one mile from Essex Centre, on the
direct route to the Junction, says. 81 was
troubled with rheumatism from a boy 10
years old. brought on by taking cold. My
father was a farmer in this town and he
handled annually some three hundred
sheep. One summer before washing and
shearing, while overheated from chasing
some sheep that got away, | entered the
water caught cold and was laid up for
three months. My right leg was drawn
up to my chest and | have never been
able to straighten it out The hip joint

my stomach; and for a long time after
wards was unable to do anything. | suf-
fered terribly at times with the rheumatic
palms. particularly at night. / awoke ev-
cry little while, and turned over, seeking
ease which seldom came. Many nights l
could not sleep wink and in spite of
doctorng and using every kind of medi-
cine, | never could check it thoroughly.
In August of 1896, my sister from Bridge
port, Conn, sent mo a box of Doan'S Kid
ney Pills with a paper which contained
names OF people she knew well and in
| whose opinion she had the utmost con-
| fidence They recommended Doan's Kid
ney Pills very highly. She urged me to
! try q box. / did so and followed up the
/ treatment until I had used five boxes. |

again. I could not do this before ] took
Doan's Kidney Pills. I have recommended
