The Doctors Letter,
Interesting and gnSiruc-
tive Feature Secured for
the Columns of the Reg
lister.

The publishers of this paper have ar
ranged with David Kennedy, the famous
physician and surgeon, to contribute
series of letters of surprising interest
during the next few weeks.
Nearly forty years ago the doctor
graduated from the New York Medical
College, now the medical department of
Columbia College. Exceptional oppor-
tunities for practice as hospital SUI geOn
were opened to him during the Civil War.
The Doctors skill and fitness awaited
themselves of these opportunities and
soon placed him in the front rank of the
medical profession, There he has stood
for twenty five years and there he stands
today, tor there is no physician and sur
geon in the country whose skill and
knowledge are more widely recognized.
But he has not rested on past achieve
ments, for David Kennedy is not that
kind of man. The same spirit of pro-
gress that first brought him to the front
has kept him there aud today he still
stands leader in his profession, fully
familiar with its very latest achieve
ments.
The past twenty-five years have shown
wonderful progress along all lines, and
this is especially true of the medical pro-
feSsiOn. What was the best twenty-five
years ago is now out of date, superseded
by better, safer and more humane
methods of treatment. Because he Is
fully abreast of the times, yet can draw
upon vast experience in the past, the
advice of DR.. Kennedy is the more valu-
able. His letters will treat of progress
in the art of healing, incidents 10 the
career of busy and successful physician
and surgeon, anecdotes of army practice
and practical hints on the causes OF
disease and the way to preserve health
All these subjects will be treated il
plain, simple language, free from tn,
professional and technical terms so hare
for the average reader to understand, anC
the doctors letters will prove valuabl,
addition to the stock of knowledge of al
who read them.

RECORDOP THE PAST
No Stronger Evidence Can Be
Had,

Look we'll to their record. What they
have done many times in years gone by,
is the best guarantee of future results.
Anyone with bad back; any reader suf-
fering from urinary troubles, from any
kidney ills, will find in the following evil
dence proof that relief and cure is near
at hand:
Mr.. Patrick o. Dwyer, mason, of Ga
White street, New Haven, Conn, says:
"In 1896 when Doan's Kidney Pills cured
me of backache which always bothered
me when caught cold, which hurt me
when I stopped, or Strengthened after
STOPPING, which refused to disappear I'M
der treatment of different medicines, I
was only too pleased to let the people of
New Haven know the fact through our
newspapers. Three years from that date,
or in the month of May, 1899, just as
ardently recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
as 1 did when they effected the cure
mentioned above. My advice to anyone
suffering from kidney complaint is, call
at a drug store, procure Doan's Kidney
Pills, take them as directed, and you will
be surprised at the results"

uer, euucatiOn ana religion. lie was
the president of the society of the col
lege street church, from its organization
until its last annual meeting, when he
declined reelection. AT the reopen
ing of the church building of that
church, after extensive repairs, in De
cember, 1886, Mr.. Roberts was one of
the speakers and indicated something of
his religious feeling and faith in the fol-
lowing closing words:
"And now at the risk of arousing the
question: Is Saul too among the pro-
phets? | venture to inquire to what end
is all this effort and expense of improve
ment and adOrnment of this house.
Not, trust, to foster and crafty any
religious pride or spirit of emulation /;
not that these new cushions may supply
us more luxurious lounges for sleepy
devotion; but rather that their occu.
pants may be excited to higher tone of
religious activity. If may venture to
say it, | would have the certificate of
church membership to be regarded, not
as policy of fire insurance, or ticket
of admission to the entertainments of
the Queen City above the New Jerusa-
lam, but rather as an enlistment paper
in which the subscriber pledges his
oath, honor and allegiance, to serve, as
true solder, the great captain of his
salvation in active war against the sin,
the ignorance and all the wrongs of this
wicked world. | would have all such
90 forth into the highways of life and
into the byways of society, wherever
there is vice to be suppressed, wrong to
be righted, Ignorance to be enlightened,
and misery to be relieved, to do the
Christian part in this work of the Mas
ter to renew the world to better life
They will not lack work of this kind to
do; and so | would have it said of them,
as of the Master, they "went about doing
good"
Mr. Roberts retained his powers of
mind and body to very remarkable ex-
tent. He was daily at his office, and his
form familiar figure on our streets,
till last Friday, when he was attacked
with catarrh of the bowels. At his ad-
vanced age his system could not respond
to the remedies used, and he sank grad
ually to the end. His son, DR.. STEPHEN
NJ. Roberts, came on Tuesday, and was
in constant attendance upon him. Dur
ing his last hours he was almost con-
stantly under the influence of narcotics,
and slept, with apparently little pain.
The funeral was held Monday after
noon at the College street Congregation
al church, which was completely filled
with the many friends and acquaintance
of this venerable man. Rev. p. NJ.
Snyder, the pastor, had charge of the
services, assisted by Pres. Nj. II. Buck
ham of the University of Vermont. The
members of the Chittenden county bar
were present in a body, county court
having been adjourned for that purpose.
The interment was at Lake View GEM
etery, where the customary burial SER
vice was used. The honorary bearers
were Hon. f. j. Phelps, former Gov
ernor John w. Stewart of Middlebury

Roberts of Utah from the house of rep
resentatives will be taken up by Chicago

called to be held in the Fourth Presbyte-
ran church on Wednesday, to be adj

Der of clubwomen, and the attendance
undoubtedly will be large, as there is
much interest in the crusade.

Royalty for DilutiOn SeparatOrs.

A considerable number of farmers in
Vermont as we'll as in other states have
been persuaded within the last two years
to buy so called gravity cream separators.
The first cost of these implements is not
large, and many are led to believe that
they are getting a separator at small
cost. 1t has been clearly shown, how
ever, in the past that these IMPLEMENTS
are not separatOrs In the true sense of
the word, and that they are very waste
full of butter fat, doing then no better
work than the shallow pan system.
They are, therefore. costly in the long
run. The facts concerning their in
efficiency have been brought out by the
publications and were published in the
columns of this paper some few months
ago. A new feature has now appeared
IN connection with this method of cream
raising. Parties have been going about
the state demanding royalties from all
farmers who use the dilution process In
any form of can except that controlled
by the agents. The agent claims that
process is patented, and that the farmer
!
As matter of fact no patent exists on
any such process. The Cornell eX-
pertinent station calls attention to the
fact in one of their recent bulletins that
no less than ten different styles of APP
paratus in which this process is used
have been patented within the last
/ eighteen months. In only one case out
of the ten patents examined Is the word
dilution used, and that case is not now
in quest This method of cream
raising has been in use for ten years at
least. It has been thoroughly tested by
the experiment stations and by practical
dairymen. 1t was reported upon as long
ago as 1890 and widely advertised at that
time. 1t is, therefore, out of the question
that the process should now be patented.
If any farmer wants to waste his cream
by the dilution process he can do SO
without paying a royalty to anybody
On the contrary, any farmer who is APP
preached by these royalty collectors
would be doing his fellow-men IA good
turn if he should report the matter al
once to the proper authorities and have Il
looked up. Such men are doubtless
subject to action at law for obtaining
money under false pretences.

MASSACHUSETTS, REPUBLICANS.

Partyism has very powerful hold
upon the Republicans of this state. The
administration which bears the party
label and stands as the representative of
Republicanism has never failed of in
dorsement here. 1t was to have been
expected, therefore, that there would be
Endorsement for the president of the
United States in the recent convention.
The only question, regarding the out
come of the meeting of the delegates
from all over the state, was as to the
extent of the Endorsement, how it was
phrased, and what it stood for.
No reader of the newspapers of the
state could fail to note in many of them,
in advance of the convention, buster
ing and defiant demand that Massachu-
setts declare for imperialism. This she
has not done by specific word or by
implication. The resolutions were some
what in the nature OF compromise, to
be sure, but no one can read into them
an Endorsement of or demand for
either conquest or annexation.
Language is employed with studious
care to avoid these two rocks of a
mand as to the Philippine islands is for
ga government as free, as liberal, as
progressive as our own, in accordance
with the sacred principles of liberty and
self-government upon which the Ameri
can republic so securely rests These
are words full of meaning, without
obscurity, and pregnant with the
doctrine of freedom as Massachusett.
has preached and practiced it. Not yet
is the Bay state ranged on the side of
conquest or of forcible annexation.
profound trust is expressed thai
H'the present hostilities" mot rebellion,
'can be brought to an early termina

employment of an overwhelming armed

this declaration. Peace is asked for, thu
choice of method being left open, Will,
the sequel of the end of armed conlic
should be, as the convention says,
government as free as our own, and on,
in accord with 1.-THE sacred principles o

All this is prefaced by the statemen
that "under the treaty with Spain, tn
law of nations put upon the United
States the responsibility for the peac
and security of life and property, tn
well-being and the future government
of the Philippine Islands," That is tru

"to an early termination" And them
II Is for the administration and congress
to promote there a free government
based on the "sacred principles OF
liberty and self-government."
The Republican can stand upon the
Philippine plank of that platform. 1t
believes In prompt termination of
hostiities by dealing with the Filipinos
exactly as we have given our solemn
pledge to act toward the Cubans. Then
the way will be open to liberty and
81 If government, not by lowering the
flag-it must stand in support of the
people of the Philippines as it is stand
ing in Cuba; but by making it and the
army and navy of the United States, not
the destroyer of republicansm, but the
promoter aud upbuilder of 1t. Is not
this the nobler conception, the finer
IDEAL the way to mastership of the mixed
and vexing situation, and pathway to
domination worthy of our civilization
and the honor of the stars and stripes?
Thus the Republicans of Massachusetts
have spoken, and the party in this state
is left standing nearer to Senator Hoar
than to Senator Lodge. In this the
platform reflects the mind and heart of
the man who made it. William ii.
Halle believes that the freedom we have
accounted our most precious heritage Is
still to be, in the providence of God, the
right and the blessing of inferior peoples,
and that it is our duty to enlightep and
to uplift into self-government, more
than to conquer and to rule by the force
of superior might.
At time when the national policy
seems to be hardening into the relentless
purpose to mass ships and soldiers to
conquer an alleged "rebellion," the voice
of this state Is not for war 1t Is for
peace and freedom.
How that word "freedom" must be
used in Massachusetts. 1t is so in
terwoven with the fabric of our history
that we cannot escape 1t. The candidate
for governor, the son of one of the
staunchest of free sellers, said of the
Republican party ut has long stood
! for freedom, progress and good govern
ment. Let us all hope and trust that its
future will entitle it to the same loyal
support that it has received in the past"
The passage is full of suggestion.
The future of the Republican party is
to be made. 1t was born in the noble
passion for freedom, and rose to its great
estate as it developed to lead in the
mighty civil conflict for freedom on this
continent. There are strong men and
true men within the party who do not
and cannot forget this. They are
soicitous for the present and future as it
concerns the loyalty of the party to all
that the fathers held best and most
precious. Back of the passions of the
moment, and deeper than the utterances
of men who bid for passing partisan
applause upon phases of the moment, are
the Republicans who look to Senator
Hoar as their trusted and strong leader.
