A Warning to Mothers

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. AS rule 1t is only
necessary to give the child dose OF
castor oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels Do not use any substitute, but
give the old fashioned castor oil, and
see that 1t is fresh, as rancid oil nause-
ates and has a tendency to grippe. II
this does not check the bowels give
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy and then dose of castor
oil, and the disease may be checked in
its incipiency and all danger avoided
The castor oil and this remedy should be
procured at once and kept ready for in
slant use as soon as the first indication
of any bowel trouble appears. This il
the most successful treatment known
and may be relied upon with implicit
confidence even In in cases of CHOLERA
infantum. For sale at G. r. Fogg'l

A Sensitive Horse.

Harsh treatment, though 1t stop short

family. was thought as three year-old
to be the fastest trotting stallion Of his
day He was very handsome, stylish,
intelligent horse, and also extremely
sensitive.
His driver, Dan Mace, though one Of
the best relnsmen In America, once
made the mistake, through Ill temper
or bad judgment. of giving Daniel
Lambert severe cut with the whip,
and that single blow put an end 10 his
usefulness as a trotter. He became
wild and ungovernable in harness and
remained so for the rest Of his life.

A Railroad of Curves.

The first railroad west Of the Allie
ghanies was built from Lexington to
Frankfort Ky, in 1881. The road was
laid out with as many curves as posi-
Bile, the engineers declaring that this
was an advantage. The cars were in
two stories, the lower for women and
children, the upper for men, four per
sons being seated In each compartment.
The cars were at first drawn by mules,
but after time locomotive was made
by Lexington mechanic. The tender
was a big box for wood. and hogs
head was provided for water which
was drawn In buckets from convenient
wells In place of a cowcatcher there
were two poles In front fitted with
hickory brooms for sweeping the track.

Proper Eating of MILK.

The proper eating of milk is little un-
derstood Thousands of people drink a
glass of milk without removing the recep-
.acle from their lips. No sooner does the
mass of milk reach the stomach than the
gastric juices curdle it and form masses Of
hard, tough and impenetrable curd If
the digestion is sufficiently vigorous, it
may be taken care of, but few have such
digestion. If milk were taken slowly,
at the same time piece of bread being
eaten, it would be finely divided, the curd
would be broken up, and the processes of
digestion would proceed readily.
Hence it becomes an evident rule that
mi k should never be drunk rapidly in any
considerable quantity. 1t should be slow
ly slipped or taken with spoon, or in
connection with bread or some dry cereal.

1000 CLAIMS.
Equal Not a Single Fact. Skowhe.
gan Endorsement Makes
This Claim a Fact.

Endorsed by scores of
Skowhegan citizens, who
cheertully make public state

the proof we have to back our
claims that Doan's Kidney
Pills cure every form OF
kidney ills, from a common
backache to a serious urinary
disorder. Here is one local
example. We have many
more like it.
A. T. Harwood, farmer, three and
half miles out on the Athens road, says:
81 have never had occasion TO use Doan's
Kidney Pills myself, but Mrs Harwood
has used them for kidney complaint and
thinks there is nothing like them, At
different times for sixteen years she WAS
subject to attacks of lameness and sore
ness in her loins and back and when
these attacks were in the acute stage a
weakness in the action of the kidney
secretions was very apparent, particular
ly at night. She often had dizziness,
headaches, and to sit long in one posi-.
ton, was always irksome. She was CON
stantly irving different remedies all guar
anteed to cure kidney complaint, bnt if
any of them had brought permanent re-
suits she never would have resoIted 10

came near stealing II for second trial.
Since then, however, Maine has had DO
use for state government of the Demo.
cratic brand, and the mood of the voters
on this point will not change at the COM
ing election. They will suffer them

itself is different also. This treatment
for the cure of cataIrh has such an un-
usual record of cures to its credit that
G. r. Fogg offers to refund the money If
it does not give the desired benefit. This
is certainly one of the fairest offers that
can be made and any one who has catarrh
and does not take advantage of it is
doing himself OF herself an injustice.

not find it adapted to your case, G R
