Disease Questionable.

There is a wonderful change coming
over society. The world is increasing in
happiness and hopefulness. Epidemics
are waning and good sanitary conditions
are increasing. 1t is no longer in good
taste to let it be known that you have a
chronic ailment, or are a defective in any
respect. Good sound physical health is
become almost moral requisite. 1t
must be admitted that thisis healthy"
tendency. 1t may be the time will come
when men or women will no more admit
that they are chronic this or that, than
they would lie or steal.
The dictates of fashion decreed in the
eighteenth century that ladies should
carry smelling bottles, appear to be deli
cate, and at certain prescribed times faint
and remain unconscious. In George
Washington's day few persons expected
to live to mature age without smallpox
Two generations ago cupping and bleed
ing were common remedies, and the use
of calomel was only limited by salvation.
There is no real necessity for sickness.
1t serves no good purpose of reformation
or development of the individual. With
out sin and violation of divine laws
there would be little or no sickness in the
world. While not all sickness is the re-
suit of sin, the inevitable harvest of
wrong living, wrong doing, and wrong
thinking is sickness, disease, and death.
The Pharisees and doctors of the law
accused Christ of blashemy, because he
healed man Of the palsy by saying,
"Thy sins be forgiven thee" His reply
was, that it was no harder to say, "Thy
sins be forgiven thee" than to say, Arise,
take up thy bed, and walk" But he
branded disease as the result of sin.
The thought is extending among all
Christian people that disease is unnatural
and health and physical harmony are
the normal, natural condition. 1t must
finally appear to all intelligent human
consciousness that it is no harder to say
to ourselves, Let us be well, than it is to
say, Let us be moral, let us be law-abid-
ing. Then all will enjoy health.-[ Salem,

The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind Is not be-
cause it is stimulant, not because it
is a palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable CONS
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases Of female Ills, as
they know by experience 1t can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DR.. S. 6. Brigham, of Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes:
"It gives me great pleasure to say that I
have found Lydia E. Rinkham's Vegetable
Compound very ef1cacious, ans often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties
"My oldest daughter found 1t very benef-
cial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my
youngest daughter is now taking it for fe-
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength.
II freely advocate it as a most reliable spe-
ciflc in all diseases to which women are sub
ject, and give ii honest endorsement"
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular menstruation, bloating
Tor fatulence), leucorrhna, falling, in
hammation or liberation OF the uterus,
ovarian troubles, that bearing-down
feeling, dizziness, faintness, indiges-
ton, nervous prostration or the blues,
should take immediate action to ward
off the serious consequences, and be
restored to perfect health and strength
by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound, and then write to Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, for further
free advice. No living person has had
the benefit of wider experience in
treating female ills. She has guided
thousands to health. Every suffering
woman should ask for and follow her
advice if she wants to be strong and

as a memorial to the Vermont hero and
patriot. The Society accepted the offer,

Hiram Benson, farmer residing in
Royalton near the Bethel line, during the
storm last week, lost six cows and one
sheep. He valued the cows at $50 each.
The storm was accompanied by strong
wind from the north. Four years ago a
barn in the same locality was struck by
lightning and a cloudburst in the same
vicinity a short time ago flooded the
country and tore up the roads badly.
Ira Fleming of Brook6eld led his horse
out to pasture after dinner the same day
in the afternoon and the lightning para.
lyzed the animal so it had to be killed.

Gov. Bell not a Candidate.

The combination who are cunning for
a candidate to run against Col. Fletcher
D. Proctor for governor next year are
still up against it. They had among
other plans one to get Gov. Bell to run
for governor for another term and were
banking on Representative Haskins to
join in, as the Brattleboro gentleman
was supposed to be willing to help elect
Gov. Bell who might otherwise be can
4didate for Col. Haskins' seat in Congress.
ABut all these plans have been upset by
Gov. Bells wise decision not to be a
&andidate for governor again. A de-
X Al atch to the St. Adams Messenger thus

IA most commendable and dignihed one:
e Friends Of Gov. Charles J. Bell make
10 secret of the governors own frank
declaration to them that he is not, has
Not been, and will not be candidate for
denomination for the governorship, and
that he is in no wise connected with any
political combination to put candidate
in the field against Fletcher D. Proctor
or anybody else if any such combination
actually exists. #M IT
"Of course, Governor Bell is not un'
mindful OF the proprieties of his officia
station, and is not to be reckoned upor
either one way or the other in the com
ing campaign, any way. One OF hi
friends is authority for the statemen
that the governor would have mad
some public announcement OF this fac
in the press but that he was unwilling t.
rush into print to deny what was o.
the face OF it plainly enough to thought

WHY'S it every prophet" who
has been inspired by the sun spots

something ominous is indicated

prophet to foretell cheerful things;
some one to prophesy that there
is to be peace and harmony and
happiness all over the world, and
that prosperity will wait on every
man. Perhaps such prophecies
would not come true; but the
