A SERIOUS CoAsr1Ne ACCIDENT.
wATERTOWN.

A SERIOUS COAST1NG ACClDENI.
 A serious coasting accident occurred, last Friday evening, on Cutler street, in which five persons were more or less severely injured. A start was made above the pOStoffice on the corner by c. B. Mattoon's place and though the grade is not particularly steep, the icy condition of the road made it difficult to guide the double ripper, and espe- cially so as the grade grows sleeper near the stone bridge, and the unfor- tunate coasters struck the StonewOrk while going at the terrific speed the sled had now attained. Dennett E. Evans, who was steering the ripper, sustained the most serious injury and is still unconscious and although the contact with the bridge was on the side of the young mans head it was sufficient to render him entirely un- conscious, but fortunately no fracture of the skull is reported. Joseph Keil- ty and Thomas Shields are each suf- fering from sprained knee. Robert bruised and cut and also he had sever al teeth knocked out. James Trew- ren was so badly shaken up and bruis- ed that he had to be taken to his home after the excitement and effort which he made in calling physician was over. This bridge has been the scene of several accidents of the kind within two or three years.

How and Why CaI-Cu Solvent, Cures Blood
 and Urinary Diseases.


 Itis a wonderful discovery, Dr. Kennedy's new medicine, that swiftly removes Stone, Red and White Gravel, from the Kidneys and Bladder. avoiding the intense suffering produced by these foreign bodies, and often rendering dangerous surgical oper- ation unnecessary. This is done by the ? use of the new discovery, Cal-cura Solvent.
 The greatest work of Cal-cura Solvent, is that it prevents the formation of stone and gravel by dissolving uric acid phos- phatic sediments, thus purifying the blood and correcting all those uric acid condi- tions of the stomach which are responsible for the formation of uric acid or gout poi soning and rheumatism. Calcura Solvent expels gall stones, giving healthy action to the.liver and freedom from constipation. Dr. David Kennedy said of it: "Cal-cura Solvent is the outcome of my long experi- ence as 8 physician and surgeon, and :! consider this the crowning achievement of my life: It will not disappoint."
