CURE BY THE
Gy)17lGURA REMEDIES

About four years ago I was afflicted with
black splotches all my face and few COW
ering my body, which produced a severe itching
irritation, and which caused great deal of
annoyance and suffering, to such extent that
I forced TO call in two of the leading physi-
clans Of my town. After thorough examna ton
Of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be
skin eczema in It's worst form. They treated me
for the same for the length of one year. but the
treatment did me good.
FINALLY / became Respondent and decided to
discontinue their services. Shortly afterwards, my
husband In reading copy Of weekly New York
paper saw an advertisement of the CHticura
Remedies He purchased the entire outfit, and
after using the contents of the first bottle of Cuti
cura Resolvent in connection with the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, the breaking out entirely
stopped. / continued the use OF the Cuticura
Remedies for six months. and after that every
splotch entirely gone and the Affected parts
left clear ever. / have not felt a
symptom Of the since, which was three
years ago.
1.-The Cuticura Remedies not only cured me Of
that dreadful disease, eczema, but other compii-
Gated troubles well and I have been the
means of others being cured of the same disease
by the Cuticura Remedies and don't hesitate in
saying that the Resolvent is the best blood medi-
cine that the world has ever known

George Washington died Of disease
that was then called a quinsy, but
which Is now known as acute laryngi-
tbs. His physicians treated him &C
cording to their best light and knowl-
edge, but such treatment now would
be little short of criminal. An eminent
authority says that If medical men had
known as much then as they do now
the distinguished patient would proba-
bly, have been cured in a week. AS 1t
was, he slowly strangled to death by
the closing"of his throat. At the pres
ent time physicians treat a case Of this
kind by tracheotomy-that is, by max
ing an opening into the windpipe,
through which the patient may breathe.
They also diagnose a case by using
the laryngoscope, which enables them
to look into the throat and see exactly
what the trouble is.

why A4EA8 are b1tABAAy O@uBhHs
No bird is so easily netted as the
lark; he generally starts from the
ground just before the lower edge Of
the net touches him and invariably
mounts perpendicularly. This char
acteristic propensity to ascend at once
may be observed by any person who
"treads up" lark In field and salts
factorily illustrated by releasing, at the
same moment, a newly captured lark
and a sparrow from a cage or hat
within the precincts Of a room. While
the sparrow will fly off horizontally.
dash himself against the window and
lie almost stunned from the shock, the
lark will almost always mount up
ward to the ceiling and futter there
for a time in vain efforts to reach
the sky before he attempts any other
mode of exit; but this habit Is fatal to
him in the netting season. He would
generally be able to escape, as indeed
the bunting or clod bird, the sparrow
and the linnet constantly do, by flying
straight forward; but ascending, as he
does, directly from the ground the mo-
ment his wings have touched the upper
part Of the net it is suffered to drop
suddenly, and his capture is rendered
Ipevitable-London Standard.

The learned ladies in olden times took
great comfort and pride in their skill
In medicine. With true professional
scorn they looked down upon the regu-
lar doctors as upon quacks. For Gods
sake beware what medicines We take
of any fyssissyans of London. I shall
never trust to them because Of your
father and my uncle, whose souls God
assoil." So wrote a lady in conscious
pride. She knew she could have saved
the lives Of her unfortunate relatives
If she had only had a chance to dose
them with some of her wonderful con-
coctions or to have put upon them
some such plasters as those for which
Dame Margery Pastor was famous.
Her husband sent for one of her plas-
tiers for the kings attorney, James Ho-
barst, who was suffering with an ache
in his knee. and to whom Sir John Pas
ton felt himself sentimentally indebted.
HE is the man who brought you and
me together" he wrote to Margery,
land 1 had leaver than E40 that ye
could with your plaster part him and
his pain"

An Incident OF Life In New Yor

An Incident OF Life In New York.
The street beggar with pockets lined
with money is a fairly familiar figure
of city life, but one Of the free dis
pensaries reports an instance Of an
attempt to get free medicine on the
plea Of poverty that deserves a place
in the catalogue Of good stories of
graft. A middle aged woman ap-
peared the other day and got a pre-
scription, after which she took her
place in the line Of persons waiting to
have their medicine made m by the
apothecary. This particula woman,
it should be said, had given satisfac-
tory answers to all the questions put
to her designed to show whether she
was a proper subject for charity. Sud-
denly there was a cry: "T'm robbed
I'm robbedp' The victim was this
woman, who so far forgot her previous
professions as to assert that her
pocket had been picked and that the
thief had got away with 500. Then
she lost the opportunity to get free
medicine, thus adding, in her view,
insult to injury.-New York Post.

Several kinds Of hairy caterpillars are
known to have a poisonous effect on
the human skin, notably the caterpil-
lar of the processionary moth, so called
because the caterpillars march in pro-
cession after their food. The scientist
Reaumur found that this caterpillar's
hairs caused him considerable suffer
ing in the hands for some days and
that when he rubbed his eyes his eye
lids, too, were inflamed. Even ap-
preaching too near the nests of these
caterpillars has caused painful swell
ings on the necks of certain persons
from the caterpillar hairs f1oated by
the winds.

Amasa P. Dickinson

Amasa P. Dickinson of Rockville
was unanimously renominated as a
candidate for sheriff of Tolland
county at the republican convention
held in Tolland on Monday. William
A. Howell of Rockville was chairman
of the convention, and John Brown of
Coventry clerk. An informal ballot
was taken and Sheriff Dickinson re-
ceived every one of the forty votes,
and the ballot was then made formal
and unanimous. A committee COM
prising John L. Storrs, E. S. Agard
and W. H. Bracket was appointed to
bring the nominee before the conven-
ton. Mr.. Dickinson thanked the con-
vention in brief speech. A county
committee was appointed, consisting
of W. Frank Fay, R. NJ. Grant and

Fair Notes.

Entries for speed classes close to-
morrow.
M. F. Brown will have the big
dining hall at the grounds again this
season.
La Vergne Dimock will act as
superintendent of the poultry depart
ment this year.
Reserved seat tickets and season
tickets will go on sale Friday morn
ing at the store OF James F. Warren.
One of the stage attractions not
mentioned on the bills is perform
ing troupe of acrobatic Japs. This
will prove one of the hest features of
a very strong vaudeville program.
All articles which are to be enter
ed for premiums in the hall must be
in by 8 O'Clock Wednesday morning.
Mrs. CLARK will BIZ at the hall to
receive all articles Monday afternoon,
from 2 to 5.
Since the issue of the premium list
of the Stafford Springs agricultural
society a special premium has been
added for draft oxen as follows: On
oxen five years old and over, to be
tested on cart, weight of load to be
$500 pounds exclusive of cart. Prem
iums $40, $8, Sc, 81 and 80.
While not strictly fair attraction,
the three miles of electric track which
will probably be laid by that time
will be an object of interest to fair
attendants. The track passes parallel
with the grounds, and some idea of
the amount of work that has been
done since August 20 can be obtained.
When another fair week rolls around
it is probable that cars will be run
ming on the new line.
One of the strong points of the local
fair association is the tendency to do
more than is advertised Representa-
tives of the local association attend
the various other fairs, on the lookout
for good things in the amusement
line. AS a result there are always
surprises at the big fair, and the
crowds come each year with full con-
fidence that there will be more than
the moneys worth. No money is
being spared this year, and if the
public is not pleased it will not be
the fault of the association.
Next week Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday are the most interesting
days of the year in many respects
It has become custom to make the
three fair days the dates for home
coming on the part of those who have
left the town. The return of the
familiar faces is one of the pleasant
est features of fair week. The happi-
ness of many reunited families
spreads, and is in part accountable for
the lively, good natured jollity which
distinguishes the fair time crowds.
The "old home' phase of fair week
is one of it's most valuable attributes.
