THOSE GNAWING RATS.
A Common and Curious Illusion.


"Ifelt as though rats were gnawing at the
coats of my stomach" Three famous men
have all left this expression on record in
their writings. They were all sufferers
from chronic Indigestion or dyspepsia, of
which the horrible sensation they thus de-
scribe is a symptom. Other signs are a
heayiness and distress after eating, bad
taste in the mouth, dryness of skin, variable
appetite, fatulency, broken sleep, bad
dreams and Nightmares, billiousness, fatigue
and WEAKNESS without labor, ETC., etc.
We work with our head and nerves and
this makes the dyspepsia of the student,
the business and professional man, the
worried man and the majority of women.
We throw food, often unassorted and in ex-
cess, into this weak and unwarmed stom-
ach, and bring on acute infammatory dys-
pepsia or gastric catarrh, with symptoms
and results which make life terror. Ask
anybody who has it.
The best of medicines is the new medi-
cine, Calcura Solvent, discovered by DIR.

THE GOLD FEVER.
Hopes OF Wealth In Dssrfisld Valley Rest On
Davis Company Plant

The gold fever that ragged so fiercely
through Southern Vermont several
months ago has abated somewhat,
though the disease has a firm hold on
many.
The buildings of The Davis Mining
and Developing Company at Reads
boro are completed and most Of the
machinery has been installed. The
plant at Readsboro viii prove a test
mine at that place and for other towns
in the vicinity.
The company has announced that it
will not be long before it viii be known
whether the company's process win re-
tain the GOLD, which is exceedingly
fine and known as "Aow gold. The
rock in the vicinity assays from IS to
$40 a ton, hut the gold exists in such
fine particles that all previous pro-
cesses for extracting it have been too
expensive.

PROHIBITION OR LICENSE. WEIGH ?
Suppress, Not Regulate the
Drink Traffic.
I'd. Q. Babcock. D. D.

ID. c. Babcock, D, d.
The alcoholic drink traffic Is dan
ger from which the public needs pro-
lection. II is not only the right, but
the duty of the state to so legiSlate as
''to make it easy to do right aud diff
cult to do wrong. Ii is vastly better
moral and civil law than that they do
wrong in accordance with civil law.
After Massachusetts, enacted her liz
cense law, man was trying to get an
other man to 60 into a grog shop and
drink with him. Come on, he said.
"This is now as respectable a place as
any; the state of Massachusetts says
So. A saloon keeper in Connecticut
said: 81 have paid for my license
and am in partnership with the state
of Connecticut " Both of these men
told the truth. The state was their ac-
complete in crime. 1t is an awful
thing TO teach our youth that the liq-
uor traffic is right by legalizing it.
There is not a case on record where
a license law has diminished the sale
of liquor, or lessened the evil results
of the traffic. High license does not
mean less liquor sold. IL means more
seductive bar rooms and the addition
OF other inducements to patrOnize them.
Rum mills are bad in every place;
they are enemies to the home, the
school, the church and the state.
The weakness of the We mont policy
is not in the law, but in the executive
department of government. II the
press the pulpit and the people win
unite in an earnest and DerSistent de-
mand for fidelity to duty on the part of
the officials, and obedience to law by
the people, Vermont will be an exam
pie fit for all states to follow.
