Kidney-WOrt Tablets.
Only Known Specific for

Dangerous Kidney Ills Cured
BY Few Doses.

Every case OF chronic kidney trouble

easier be avoided.
Diabetes can be checked before ii grows

Kidney Wort Tablets.
That Kidney-Wort Tablets viii cure
kidney diseases is absolutely beyond ques-
tion. Many people, the moment they are
free from the rheumatism caused by de-
fective kidney action, and from backaehe
and headache. quit the remedy bit too
soon, and at the first cold they are likely
to be back again sick. The Tablets should
be conscientiously used for few days.af-
ter the symptoms disappear, until the cir

There are many varieties and complica-
tons OF kidney disorders: Albuminura,
Inflammation OF the kidneys, and Bright's
disease. Diabetes is another dangerous
form of this disease, attended by great
thirst, enormous appetite, emaciation and
loss OF strength harsh, dry skin, and Of
ten with swelling of the limbs and great
physical weakness.
After Kidney Wort has taken away the
pains In the small of the back, painful
passing OF urine, inflammation OF the
bladder torpid liver, cloudy urine, un-
comfortable feeling of the head and neck,
rheumatic pains and swelling all over the
body, it should be given chance OF few
days to fully restore the kidneys to sound
health before disseminating its use.
Men as often as women suffer from kid
ney diseases, but il should be particularly
noted that women of all ages who experi-
ence backaches, headaches, sideaehes, tired
feelings, exhaustion, nervousness and gen.
eral weakness find in Kidney-Wo an I'M

John Il. Gamhell.

In the death of John II. Gambell, Bar
nard lost one of its best citizens, Mt.
Hunger good farmer and kind neighbor.
Born and reared on the farm where he
died, 1t was home in the truest sense of
the word, being where his grandmother
settled more than 100 years ago.
Major John Gambell came from Spencer.
Mass, in 17S1. In 1855, Judge Benjamin
Clapp located adjoining and the two men
at once became exceedingly prominent in
all town affairs, both raising large fami-
lies, who occupied conspicuous places in
the business world. Both represented
Barnard in early legislatures of Vermont.
together they lived as neighbors go years
ana now lie buried, still as near neighbors,
where they have slept more than 60 years
in Central cemetery.
On Judge Clapp's tomb stone is a singu-
lar inscription-"Le him that Is without
sin first disturb the dead" He died in
lS40. Major Gambell followed in 1874.
The Gambells were Congregationalists
IN religion, Wings and Republicans in
In politics; the Clapps were Universalsts,
Wings, Democrats and finally Republicans,
both families coming to the same termin-
us.
III, as some people believe, spirits of the
dead recognize the living, those two men
must have a very satisfied mind that their
Barnard life was not failure. Shows and
blKIdrus OF winter SILL Whlrl over the
peaks OF Mt. Hunger. Sunny skies and
warm rains in summer still blossom and
ripen the crops on those good farms, but
Major Gambell and Judge Clapp, where
are they? Sometime this secret will be
told us.
John II. Gambell represented Barnard
in the state Legislature OF 1869, brother in
1881, brother in-law in 1888, an uncle in
1910, grandfather in the pos; his father
fell short three votes in 1856 and only one
in 1857. No family in the town was ever
so favored, perhaps none more deserving.
April IL, 1875, John II. Gamben married
Miss Emma NJ. Nye, daughter OF P. w.
Nye. From this union, two children, a
son and daughter, survive him, Mrs. Gam
bell having died in 1892. The daughter,
Fannie, married Frank Switzer of Wood
stock, but came home and affectionately
nursed her father during his last DAYS
John, the Sd, young man OF 20 years.
is now keeper of the old home and last
survivor Of Mt. Hunger Gambells, but
whether his ambition will allow him to
remain on the farm has not been decided.
The excellent examples of father, grand
father and great-grandfather stand out so
prominently that he can hardly miss the
trail. He will be looked upon TO keep up
the standard.

SILVER LAKE.

Barnard voted no license for a liquor
saloon, but some voters think i. a mistake,
as il will serve to drive people out of town.
: A. A. Hadley, of the firm of p. b. Hadley
Z & Son, says people tell him he will lose lots
OF trade from those who go to Bethel for
liquor, but Mr.. Hadley intends 10 keep a
store good enough so there will be no ne
cessity of going out of town for anything
but rum.
This town took bold step forward in
the cause of education by voting two weeks
addition to the school year in each Of ten
schools. This will make a perceptible
difference in cost and ii is hoped will result
in benefit; also a unanimous vote was
passed to appropriate $50 every year to-
wards the support Of free library. II is
thought this will tend toward drawing
summer visitors to town and cottages
around the lake. We notice real estate
and residence houses are in better demand
since town meeting. Quite a deal is ru-
mored.
A letter from Charles b. Danforth,
founder and beneiactor of Barnard's free
public library, discloses the fact that he is
delighted with his old native town for so
promptly and unanimously voting to ac-
cept his offer for the pleasure and lasting
benefit of Barnard citizens. He says at
is designed for the free use OF every man,
woman and child residing within the
town, subject, of course, to such rules and
regulations as the trustees may devise and
adopt for the proper care and successful
carrying out Of the plan. IL it is a success
and gives assistance and encouragement to
the boys and girls, the young men and
young women now growing up to man
hood and womanhood, fits them better for
assuming and discharging the various
duties that lie before them in life, in short,
IL it makes them better men and women,
OF greater value TO themselves and to the
in which they live-then |
shall feel that my life has been productive
of at least one good and worthy deed. Am
very glad to know that there is one wom-
an on the board of trustees. The advice
and suggestions of a bright, intelligent
woman are Of great value on all education
al matters"
