Warning.

Once Vesuvius destroyed two italian
cities in few hours. The people SAW the
smoke from the volcano but failed to
escape in time.
Where there is smoke there is fire and
where there are symptoms of one of the
most dangerous of diseases. A feeling Of
languor, a sense of weakness and WEAKNESS,
drowsiness, giddiness and mental dHcom-
fort. A bad taste in the mouth-the old
"coppery" taste. An offensive breath,
headache. neuralgia, heartburn, "A feeling
of dizziness and weight in the stomach,
nausea, dry and feverish skin, constipation,
rising of nasty gas into the throat, tongue
furred ike the moss on "A tree, irritability,
disgust with food.
Have you any of these symptoms?
Either now or sometimes Yes" you say,
" but | don't think they are dangerous. I"
They are signs of danger. They show that
the eruption is coming.
Now what lies at the bottom of all these
symptoms? Indigestion, dyspepsia, and an
overworked liver. There is but one help,
one remedy. Slow up, and for the mis-
chief already done, tone up the digestive
organs and liver with the new medicine,

Addison County Politics.

The Bristol correspondent of the Bur-
lington Daily News is responsible for the
following political gossip:
The town representative question is
waxing warm in several towns. la the
town Of Lincoln there are three candi-
dates, viz; l.. c. Balm, local option !;
Lester Bryan and George Hammer, pro-
hibtionists.
In the town of Monkton there are also
three in the field: Ernest Stlllson, Ira
d. Smith and John Ladd, all of whom
are in favor of local option.
Starksboro will probably have four
candidates, George O'Bryan and Walter
Baldwin who favor the present law and
w. B. Thompson, who favors local OPP
ton. The democrats will also have a
candidate.
In New Haven the representative
war has been raging for some time.
Road Commissioner Fisher and William
Hunt are working hard for the local
option votes while Sharrad Brown is
requesting the prohibitionists to stand
by him. 1t is fine struggle from dis.
lance. Some say the town is sure for
Mccullough and others are just as posi-
tive the town will give Clement a major
ity. Time only will settle this question.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

the diseased portion OF the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafne -, and that is by con
stitutiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by
an tnfiamed condition OF the mucuous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucuous sur
