ToILETINE RESTORED THE VOICE.
Our baby was taken suddenly and
strangely i'll. 1t could not make a loud
noise. We called a physician who said
the throat was paralyzed or filled with
membrane. A, bis medicine did no good
we began using Toiletne. 1t was the right
thing to use for in a short time the voice
was restored. Since then if there is any
sign of trouble with the throat we have
givsn it and can see pos I'VE relief at once.
1t is a wonderful preparation.

Opinions of the Press.
The Right Course.

We notice by the report of the medical
meeting held in this place that resolutions
we're prepared, stating that 1.-The law, Of
this state lating to the sale of liquors
should be amended so that druggists could
furnish all kinds of liquors for m ,dical and
chemical purpo es." This Is move in the
right direction. No one knows better than
those OF the medical pr ote,sion that drug
store is the only and proper place for liq
uors to be sold, because they are aware
that liquors have to be kept there, and used
in n arlv one-hslt OF the preparations thar
are e led. And this is no indication that
ug store is a despicable rum shop on
tha account. The majority of druggists
ave just a, respectful as any other class OF
beings and their scruples against intem-
per 'nce are just as s'rong; and they have
no more desire to diser zee their store o.

Hon. c. j. Bell, master of the state
grange, is a believer in organized effort.
In bis annual address before the meeting
OF the grange in Brattleboro last week be
said: THE obi Gets of our order are to
add dignity to labor, to create a better
manhood and womanh BOD among its mem
bers, and to elevate the American farm r
that he may hold the position he deser yes
among the Legislative and business inter-
ests of our country. In our work we can
see the necessity OF orga aiz alton and CO.
op .ratiou more and more as the years 60
by. If in the twentieth century the Amer-
ican farmer climbs high the ladder of pros
pt rity, as he should, it will be through or
ganiz d effort. If we attempt it single
handed, as we grasp the ruugs OF the lad
der above us, with our hands that we may
rai-e ourselves. the feet of other organic d
interests will step on our fingers and we
fall to the ground. Organic .tion in the
battle of life is as Necessary in time of peace
as in time of war"
Whether the honorable master believes
in organic ID effort in the business and COM
mprcial world, known as trusts, we know
not
