What the Physicians of
the New York and YER
mont Private Dispen-
sary Are Accomplishing
for the Afflicted in This
Vicinity.
Remarkable Cure OF a Seem.
ingly Hopeless Case.

Mr.. NJ. !. Haley, living at s. South
Champlan street city, for the past IL
years has worked for the Central Vermont
Railroad company in the capacity or
brakeman, and is considered one of their
most trustworthy employees. Last August
on a regular run to Montpelier he was
thrown from his car and severely bruised.
Instead OF the knees healing. which was
expected. by his physician, blood poison
set in, and his whole body, including race
and hands, became almost solid mass OF
painful sores. These sores continued To
grow more painful and worse notwith-
standing six different physicians had fail
ed to give relief, and his affection became
SO painful and Weakening That he was
obliged to give up his position altogether.
ON March u, with his body mass of ris-
gushing sores and in very weakened con-
dition. he called upon the physicians OF
the New York and Vermont Private Dis
pensary. ~ Church street, and it is Won
drrful to say that inside of two weeks
time. under the dispensary physicians
,roatment, Mr.. Haley is able to go to
Norw and every sore of the face and
',uds have all disappeared. His appetite
md strength have rapidly returned, and
work. and every sore of the face and
position, where his former co-workers
congratulated him on his wonderful recov-
cry TO health and strength. When seen
by the writer, Mr. Haley said: II it had

am sure could never have regained my
health. I had been TO SO many different
physicians and under each of their treat
ment. | seemed to gradually grow worse.
but from the first day | commenced the
Dispensary physicians treatment l com
menced to improve, and II is a pity that
Burlington has not more physicians Ike
them, but from the many people that l
saw at their office on each OF my visits
shows that the physicians who cure are
the ones who get the practice.

FIRE IN THE STRONG PROPERTY
Old Building Used as Tool House
Nearly Destroyed Last Nj ht.

The second fire of Tuesday occurred
at $50 last night when a general alarm
was rung in from box No. AZ on the
police office. a small building, formerly
the portion of the armory occupied by
j. T.. Peters as job printing office and
now located at the rear of the Strong
building on Main street. was the scene
of the fire. The building was used as a
tool room and the headquarters of the
night Waterman, Joseph Roue, and being
of light and highly combustible material
was nearly consumed before the depart
ment could bring streams 10 bear on it.
The Waterman had left only short time
before to make his rounds and discover
ed the fire himself. He set up a cry of
fire" and Officer Brothers rang in the
alarm. Mr.. Roue thinks that it must have
originated from the stove or possibly
about the stove pipe hole in the roof,
there being good fire in the stove when
he left. The tools consisted mostly of
picks and shovels, many of which were
saved.

pccted that another meeting Of the So

held before April l.
The situation at the mandatory of +.
h. 4 A. c. Whiting is unchanged. The

POOR SUGAR SEASON
Max ers Are Much Discouraged over tho
Outlook This Spring.

The sugar orchards in Vermont have
been tapped for about two weeks but
up to this date only two good runs of
sap have been secured. In consequence
little sugar has been made. The farm
ers are becoming somewhat discouraged
and fail to see prospect of good crop
this season. The trees have already be-
gun to bud and even il the weather con-
ditions should change and good runs of
sap should be secured the sugar would
not be of the best quality.
The sugar season opened much earlier
this year than usual but the weather has
not been favorable and in consequence
hut little of the product has been Of
ferod for sale. The Maple Sugar Makers
market has made arrangements for its
usual supply and its methods of making
the Vermont product popular in other
States will be continued this year.
