After a great deal of effort and correspon-
dence DIR. d. a. Bisbee, the popular druggist,
has succeed in getting the Dr. Howard Co. to
make special offer of half price on the so
cent size of their specific for the cure of con-
stipation and dyspepsia.

lieves but it cures.
So remarkably successful has DR.. Towards
specific been curing constipation and dyspep-
STA, that DR.. Bisbee will return the price paid
in every case where it does not give relief.
The old-fashioned idea of dosing with min
eral water, cathartic pills or harsh purgatives
will soon be things of the past The best
physicians are prescribing DIR. Towards
specific, both because it gives the desired re-
suits and for the small dose that is needed.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness, gas on

ton, and all forms of liver and stomach
trouble are soon cured by this scientific medi-
cine.
DIR. Bisbee has been able to secure only a
limited supply of DIR. Towards specific, so

constipation or liver disease should call upon
him at once, or send him an order by mail,
and for IS cents get sixty doses Of the best
medicine ever made, on this special offer, with
his guarantee to refund the money if it does
not cure.

Business conditions are normal
throughout the state. Manufacturing as
a rule is not very brisk, as is to be ex-
pected at this season of the year, but
the volume of goods distributed by the
jobbers is about up to the average. The
weather Is also unfavorable for retail
trade and that line of business is re-
ported as only fair. Burlington reports
business in general satisfactory; the
cotton mills are running well, the lum-
Der business with interests connected
with that trade is well employed and the
wholesale business is of usual proper
tons and collections fair. Retail trade
is somewhat light on account of poor
weather. A large crop of hay will be
secured, but other crops will be small
unless the weather improves. There is
no material change in the business situa-
ton at Brattleboro Business in White
River Junction is satisfactory and retail
trade good. Woodstock, which is quite
largely dependent on the summer guests,
reports small arrivals as yet. Wells
River is doing the usual volume of retail
trade and collections are good Mont

stone sheds are busy and no complaints
are heard as to retail trade or collections.

that 1t is handling constantly increas-
ing business The local railroads have
issued new rules with reference to freight
charges which materially add to the cost
of the finished product delivered, and
manufacturers there and at Montpelier
are much disturbed because of this
change. Retail trade and collections
good. Rutland reports manufacturing
business reasonably active, although
there is still a labor strike against two
machine shops there. Retail trade and
collections fair. There has been so much
rain that the farmers have had much
difficulty in securing the hay crop.
Corn is backward, other crops fair. St
Adams reports business conditions to be
as usual. Retail trade and agricultural
crops good. There is large crop of hay

Practically all crops made a normal
advance during the period, this being
especially true of grass and garden truck.
There is still need, however, Of more
sunshine and warmth to properly bring
forward most root crops, as the moist
weather has. in some cases. caused an
undue growth of vines. The general
absence of rain the latter part of the
week allowed some much-needed cult
walton TO be done, as many fields were
excessively weedy.
The damp weather has been very in
furious to rye and barley that are in
shock, causing it to sprout considerably.
Rye, oats, and barley, where not cut, are
| lodged in rank field to some extent. The
yields of these grains will, however, be
generally satisfactory. Corn continues
to improve, but very slowly, and the
yield will be far from an average one.
In the sweet-corn canning sections it is
estimated that the yield will not be over
half the usual. Yellow corn appears tC
be doing better than sweet.
Fruit prospects remain encouraging,
with few reports of dropping and but
little complaint of insect pests.
