p 1. Of such such a ,.t disease .;, for
tied or contracted, can be surely
and quickly cured by the use OF Smith's
Green Mountain Renoyator.
Mrs. Clara +. Holden, writes us from Lud-
low, Vermont, as follows:
My little girl was a helpless cripple. She
suffered intensely for five years. Her trouble
was first noticed when she was ABOUT ilye years
old She had a severe fall which seemed 10 in
lure one OF her bones, after which she suffered
terrible agonies. We employed the most skill
ful physicians. She got worse, until there were
four running sores on her leg from the size OF
twenty five cent piece to that OF silver dollar,
with several smaller ones appearing from time
TO time. Finally her entire leg, from the knee
to the ankle, was a mass of sores, discharging
q great quantity of small bones. ] now have
one which measures three inches in length and
one inch wide. After failing to find any physi-
clan or remedy to help our daughter, we de-
cded to try Smiths Green Mountain Renoya-
tor After she had taken few bottles, she be-
gan TO gain her strength, the sores gradually
disappeared, and finally she was entirely cured.
For three years now she has enjoyed the most
perfect health, and has gained the use OF her
leg entirely. sincerely hope that others may
be blessed, as we have been, by using Smiths
Green Mountain Renovator.'
Smiths Green Mountain Renovator accom-
plishes the great good that it brings about in
the way OF graduating poison from the blood
by counteracting such polsons, and expelling
all deprayed secretions from the body through
the natural channels, in the meantime invigors-
ting and stimulating all the health maintaining
organs to perform this work. The nerves are
strengthened and the patient is invigorated and
given strength in many cases in a remarkably
short time.
The fact that this specific contains no poison
Gus ingredients whatever is great point in its
favor.
Every bottle of this remedy is guaranteed by
the St. Adams Remedy Co., who refund the
cost Of the remedy in any instance where all
that is claimed for it has not been accomplished.

UNFAIR CRITICISM.

II is no light thing for city to have
been suddenly brought to a standstil
as this has been, have it's business dis
organized its trade thrown out of gear,
its domestic life interfered with, and
sudden disruption of the usual meth
DDS brought about. Were there no
cause for this it would be little short
Of criminal to have been instrumental
in its taking place. But is there no
cause?
a few laymen are not satisfied up
on the point. What do they know. Has
any one of them the slightest idea of
bacteriology. Can one of them make a
culture of bacilli, and if such culture
is made, has any one of them sufficient
knowledge and skill to recognize the
bacilH of Bubonic Plague from the ba-
Gill of yellow fever or from those Of
influenza.
That there should be criticism of the
Board of Health is but natural. Peo-
pie don't like to have their comfort cur
tailed. But had the Board been lax III
its duties. Had it waited and dilly-
dallied till the embryo dragon Of disease
had grown into an memorable and all
devouring monster What then? No
word of reprobation would have been
deep or ugly enough in tone.
Surely this community is sensible to
praise the Board for what it has done.
Expert psychologists tell us the dis
ease is black or bubonic plague. If
such is the case there was, under the
circumstances, only one policy to ini-
tiate, and that was what the Board
carried out. AS to the manner of carry
ing out criticism can come later. The
present moment is no time at all to
hamper the action of Board by adverse

ANOTHER CASE.

Another case of plague was discover
ed last evening. Hopes had been en-
tertalned that it would have been pos
sible to raise the quarantine at least
in part by next Tuesday, but this case
will throw the quarantine forward Cor
another week or ten days.
A-strict enquiry should be made as
to how it was that the inspector in
charge of the block, in which this last
case of plague occurred came to pass
it over. 1t is clear according to evil
dence, that the woman had been sick
for some days. If the house to house
inspection which is made twice a day
is properly carried out, such an omis-
sion should not have taken place. If
one omission has taken place may not
others have taken place. 1t is very
ed carefully. ID
Those who take up the duties of in
spectors have very responsible posi-
ton and most of them fully realize it,
but it may be that some hardly appre-
ciate the gravity of the situation. OF
course it is quite possible that this
Hawaiian woman was able to appear
and to deceive the inspectors. Exactly
at what time the second inspection was
made yesterday has not transpired, but
seeing that there had been a case of
plague already taken from the Ali
premises, there should have been extra
care to examine everybody in the vicin-
ity.
In fact in such a case as this there
should have been medical inspection of
the people not only in the Ali place,
but of all places in the immediate vicin-
ity. One of the greatest difficulties met
by the inspectors in Bombay, Hong
kong and other cities which have been
attacked by the plague, has been the
strong effort upon the part of the native
population to hide the disease, and we
may be satisfied that in spite of all our
vigilance, similar effort will be made
here. That the Board of Health is
straining every nerve, is believed by
all, but there must be no laXness among
it's instruments.
