are popularity supposed to aid in the
digestion of food"
There is nothing known to the
science of medicine that can per-
form the work of the human ston1-
ach. Drugs do not and cannot digest
the food. They simply decompose it.
What can be more revolving or dis
gusting than the thought of taking
something into the stomach that is go

eaten into mass of corruption.
The only way to overcome indges-

agent known that will do this.

As she spoke the hostess glanced

The Early CIarks.

S A~J ~S'
DR.. C1ark's visit to the Safe of
Vermont is due to his desire to
see Bradford, not to die, but to
see the abode of his ancestors.
DIR. Clark's great grandfather
was also named Joseph Clark.
He was one of the early settlers
of the town, coming here from
Haverhill, N H. He was styled
deacon, although he appears
never to have been so constituted.
He made his home on the lower
plain, building himself a log
house rather to the south of
where the H. H. Ormsbt house
now stands. Here his first chill
dren were born. In later years
he built a frame house just to
the north of the present Ormsby
house, which is now IN good con-
dition. Here he lived with his
family until his death. Deacon
Joseph Clark and Mr.. Eward
Clark of Haverhill took the con-
tract to build the first Congrega-
ional church in town, which was
located just north of A. w.
Peters farm. The building was
finished according to contract in
1875, the work taking two years.
The record of this contract may
now be seen at the town clerks
office, as this place of worship
was built under town authority.
This building was used for forty
years and then taken to pieces
and set up again as place of
worship, nearer the village. 1t is
now used as a village hall.
There is a story of an Indian
surprise told of DR.. Joseph
Clark's great grandmother and
her two SONS, Laban, then two
years old, and Joseph, babe in
arms, When the surprise took
place, she took her two sons from
their log house and hurried to
the woods, where she hid her
self and the boys IN a hollow log
and there remained in safety I'M
til the Indians left the place.
DR.. Clark's grandfather, Sam
uel Clark was born in town on
the Clark homestead, but as a
young man, he went to New
York where he spent the rest of
his life.
Laban Clark, the grand uncle
of DR.. Clark who now visits us,
was a native of Bradford, and
spent all his early life here. He
was converted at the age of nine
teen and began to preach, a ca
reer in which he was to WIN great
distinction. He and his brother
Joseph were two of the five men
and women who formed the first
Methodist society IN Bradford in
I1798. He later joined the New
York Conference and was sent to
the Fletcher circuit, where he
Travelled four hundred miles and
preached forty sermons a month.
He was one of the founders of
Wesleyan University and its f.
nancial agent. He was elected
president of the board of trustees
and held the posi- ion until 1868.
Joseph Clark, the next younger
brother of Labau was preacher
in the Methodist church here and
did much to hold together the
feeble Methodist church and to
the upbuilding of it. Deacon
Joseph Clark and wife were strict
followers of the Congregational
church, two of his sons won dis
tinction as Method t ministers,
although a part of his family
still remains in the church of
their parents. We trust that DIR.
Clark will find much of interest
in regard to this early home of
his forefathers while here. We
are indebted to Hon. H. c. Nc
Duffee for much of this sketch of
the early Clarks of Bradford.
