To even get that glance.

A NEW DISCOVERY

George G. TIdridRc FINDS Something
which Many Consider to DO Better
Than Gold-His statement.
There is much talk in the town Of
Allegheny, Pa, over the discovery made
by Mr.. George @. Eldridge of that place.
After long search he has found some
thing better than gold. In recent in
terview he says:
Eyes, have made what I consider to
be an important discovery. To tell you
about 1t must start at the beginning.
"That was q number of years ago, "
he continued. 1.-The nature of my work
forced me to be very irregular with my
meals and that, together with general
misuse of my stomach, brought on ner-
vous dyspepsia. My trouble commenced
with bloating constipation and this was
accompanied with pain in the back and
stomach. / suffered with shortness Of
breath and palpitation of the heart, sleep
lessness and an absolutely miserable
feeling at all times. About three years
ago had an attack which confined me
to my bed for three weeks and times
without number after that l was obliged
to give mp. Ny Kidneys also became
affected and caused me considerable
trouble.
-Four different doctors attempted to
cure mo but they gave me only tempo
rary relief. l became utterly discour-
aged. Then l tried DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Relief came in
about a week and at the end Of four
months was entirely well.
II can only say that l believe l owe
my life to DR.. Williams Pink Pills and
can find no words to express my thanks
for what they have done for me. Better
than gold is but mild praise for them.
Every body who knows mo remarks the
wonderful change. can eat anything
now, sleep like child and do my work

THE NEXT GREAT TRUST.
(From the Middlebury Register. }

The next great trust, according to the
Fress Press, Bennington Banner, etc. will
absorb some OF the farms OF the State and
operate them more economically. The
idea is good At present prices of farming
lands here is a rich field here for invest
ment. Several farms combined could be
operated with greater profit under tho
management of a successful farmer. But
the settled policy OF the State the statues
and constitution must first be changed.
An individual may own as many acres OF
land as he pleases, but no corporation can
he formed in this State for the purposes
named The fundamental Idea OF the faith
ers was to prevent the accumulation of
great landed estates. as In England. The
death Of the Individual causes real estate
here to be broken up and revert to small
owners. If held by corporations, this
would not be the case The individuals
comprising the company might die, but
others would purchase the stock and the
corporation would be perpetual. Whether
the fathers were wise OF not remains to be
seen, hut 1t will take another political re-
volution in Vermont to change the settled
policy OF the State, and Vermont will re-
main land of small homes. not Of great
landed estates.
