commanding genius. He is more than mere man of science; he is man Of original and independant mind. Un- trammeled by the s'etiQuette" of the medical profession and having used Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People in his practice with good results, he freely avOws the facts and endorses the value of this remedy with anlauthority which no one will venture to question.
 DK LAPPoNI's LETTER.
 "I certify that l have used Dr
 Williams Pink Pills in four cases
 of the simple an8mia of develop
 ment. After few weeks of treat
 ment, the result came fully up to
 my expectations. For that reason
 shall not fail in the future to extend
 the use of this laudable preparation
 not only in the treatment of other
 forms of the category of an8mia or
 chlorosis, but also in cases of neu-
 rasthenia and the nke.'
 (Signed) Giuseppe Lapponi.
 Via dei Gracchi 332 Rome.
 The ''simple an8mia of develope. ment" referred to by Dr Lapponi is, of course, that tired, languid condi- tion of young girls, whose develop ment to wOmanhOOd is tardy and whose nealGn, 8L the PerlOO or G0aG OeVelOp- ment, is so often imperilled: His opin- Pills for Pale People at that time is of the highest scientific authority, and 1t confirms the many published cases in which an8mia and other diseases of the blood, as we'll as the nervous dis eases referred to by Dr Lapponi, have been cured by these pills. In all cases of an&mia and other diseases due to impoverished blood, and all affections of the nerves, such as nervous prostra- tion, neuralgia, St Vitus' dance, pa ralySis and 1ocomotOr ataxia, they are commended to the confidence of the public, and now that they have re- ceived emphatic endorsement of so high a professional authority as Lap poni, the trusted physician to the Vat ican, they will be accepted by the med ical and scientific world at their full value.

MISS EDNA MAUD GRAY.
 After a short and painful illness, Miss Edna Maud Gray died of tetanus, Saturday, June 4, at the home of her steprather, Alton Wilsey of Warner's Mills. Miss Gray was born in Dan- bury in this State, and was IT years and four months of age. The greater part of her life was spent in ROxbury, where she attended the Warner's Mills and the Booth Free school. On Arbor day last, the 9th of May, she ran a splinter of wood into her foot. At that time very little was thought of the accident, and for several days Miss Gray felt but little affected by 1t. Soon, however, lockjaw ensued, and in spite of the skill of Doctors Pens and Karrman and of the most careful nursing; she grew rapidly worse, and at length after much suffering, died quietly and peacefully. Her funeral, which was largely attended, was Sun day, the 5th. The officiating clergy man vas Rev Walter DoWnes Rumph- rey. The pail bearers were six of the schoolmates of Miss Gray, Clayton Squires, Edwin Leayenworth, Lewis Beardsley, George Morris, Merwin Bronson and Charles Pierce. The bur ial was in the Center cemetery. Miss Gray was a girl of singular sweetness, much sbel0ved by her many friends, and the sincere sympathy of the en- tire community is given to her afflicted family,
