Death of Miss Belle Bigelow.

At an early hour Wednesday morning,
June 18th, Miss Belle Jane Bigelow died
at her home In Cornville, after q linger-
ing and painful illness Of nearly two
years. 1t was not, however, until about
year ago that her friends were con-
scious that she was bordering on that
dreaded disease, consumption, and, even
then, great hopes we're entertained for
her recovery, as every possible meaus
were tried to restore her to health. Even
to the last, her father, mother and sis
tiers were doing all 10 their power to save
her from death, but God, 1t seems, Knew
best, and took her home. Miss Bigelow
was respected by all, but loved most by
those who knew her best. She was a
young lady Of ambition, integrity and
brightness, ever striving for something
nobler, something better, something
higher than In the natural path Of life.
She possessed that charming manner and
beautiful disposition that was like the
Sunshine. She was ever thoughtful and
planning the comforts and pleasures of
others lastly thinking of her own. She
was courteous to all--rich and poor alike.
Miss Bigelow was educated In the
schools Of her native town and took a
partial course In the Skowhegan High
School. She had taught several terms
of schools 10 Cornvlle and In Hartland
always giving good satisfaction. She
was pains taking and conscientious 10
whatever she undertook, always striv-
ing to do 1t we'll.
The funeral services were held in tire
church on the East Ridge, Friday, 3 p.
M, conducted by Rev. II. F. Huse Of
Skowhegan assisted by Rev. II. C. Giles
Of Cornville, and was largely attended
by friends and neighbors of the deceas-
ed. The floral offerings were many,
choice and beautiful. Miss Bigelow was
% years old-the daughter Of Leander
L. and Mary Bigelow who survive her
and who feel deeply their loss. She
also leaves to mourn, two brothers,
william of Douglas City, California, and
Samuel j. of Lowell, Mass. three sisters,
Mrs. N. E. Mcclure of Cornville, Mra.

SI0MACHS THAT
ARE DISEASED
HOW TO CURE THEM.

How often we hear the remark Il
have Indigestion, gastritis, nervous dys.
pepsia, tiatulency, sour stomach, etc
these annoying conditions being spoken
Of as diseases in themselves, and how
often has the doctoring of such symp-
toms instead of the diseased organs cost
the sufferer his life.
To be sure digestive ferments and
drugs by decomposing the food in the
stomach, NAV relieve some of these
symptoms, but this relief is obtained at
the cost of your health, for decomposed
iood contains none of those qualities abso-
lutely necessary to make pure blood and
i healthy body
II you are suffering from any Of the
above mentioned symptoms, there is but
one thing to be done, treat the diseased
organs themselves. DO not wait unit.
you are wreck physically and mentally,
but begin at once. Unfortunately there
is now only one treatment known which
has Tor its sole object the healing of these
organs.
This new remedy, MONA, contains
no digestive ferments or drugs. 1t does
not act on the food at all, but solely
upon the diseased parts themselves. It
is almost magical in its action, one OF
two days treatment being sufficient to
so nearly restore the stomach to its nor,
NAL condition that it digests the food
itself and extracts from it all the nour.
ishment which the body requires. In
less than weeks time the most con.
firmed dyspeptic can eat anything fit to
eat without distress.
