likely to come uD between the candi-
dates before the election, March 20.
Walter Howe has been men
toned to fill the vacancy caused
by Charles A. Dawson, who declines to
run for selectman. Ernest Turner will
probably be a candidate for highway
surveyor and candidates are being
discussed for town auditor, assessors
and tax collector

Pierce of Buffalo, N Y. when first saw your
book referring to the cure of consumption
thought would try DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery and 'Favorite Prescription as the
doctors had given her up, and so thought 1t
could do no harm if it did no good.
When try to describe the results fail TO do
so in words. We shall never forget to thank
God for giving us this means of relief. know
if my wife had not taken DR.. Pierce's medicines
she would now have been in her grave. You
can ask any one who is afflicted thus to write to
me for more particulars. :"
This only serves to show that what
ordinary physicians of merely local
and limited practice will often fail to
accomplish, may become entirely posi-
bic to thoroughly scientific and radical
treatment, based upon a lifelong and
worldwide experience with the severest
and most obstinate forms of so-called in
durable diseases. Do not despair, but
write to DIR. Pierce. He will send you
the most authoritative advice in plain
sealed envelope free of charge. His
splendid thousand-page illustrated Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser will be sent
paper-bourd for 81 one-cent stamps to
pay the bare cost of mailing, or in
heavy, handsome cloth binding, for 81
