Children and their Diseases.
A VALUABLE BOOKLET THAT SHOULD BE
IN THE HANDS OF EVERY MOTHER.

Every mother wants her boy or hen
girl to be a picture of healtb-lhe ONE

Gus laugh, bounding step-sure signs OF
the healthy, happy child. When the lit
tie one is sick all the sympathy of the
mothers heart Is aroused and there. is
no sleep nor rest for her while it is in
this condition.
Mothers should watch carefully the
numerous little things that 60 wrong
with children. Oftentimes they are ir.
ritable or listless, have a variable appe.
tite. foul tongue, offensive breath, eyes
are dull and heavy-in the majority OF
cases these ailments have their origin in
disordered stomach and bowels. AT
such times mother who has read the
book "Children and their Diseases
would know just what to do. The au.
thor of this book was DR.. j. F. True, OF
the well-known firm of DR.. j. +. True &
Co., Auburn, Me. This venerable physi-
clan was known far and wide as the great
friend of children, and after many years
Of successful practice he came to the
conclusion that most Of the ills of chill
dren were caused by worms. He there
fore devoted himself to the preparation
of mixture that would expel worms II
present, and at the same time tone up
the stomach, keep the bowels regular,
and the blood pure, and act as general
tonic. This great remedy, which he
compounded, is known as DR.. True's
Elixir. 1t has been in use since 1851.
and it is purely vegetable, harmless and
effectusl-a wonderful tonic and builder
of flesh and muscle.
Every mother, by sending to DR.. j. F.
True & Co., Auburn, Me-, will receive a
copy of the book "Children and their
Diseases" without cost.

Injunction Against Selling Liquor

At Auburn last Monday, after hear
ing, Judge Savage of the Supreme
Court granted an injunction against the
use of two buildings at Rumford Falls
for the sale of liquor. One of the build
ings belongs to Fred Z. Tucker and the
other to Mrs. Annie Siddall. The petit
ton also ran against Charles Kennedy
and Roland McPhee as tenants, but as
those parties do not now occupy the
premises, the Injunction was granted
only against the owners.
County Attorney Charles p. Barnes
appeared for the state, and Deputy
Sheriff II. l.. Elliott was a witness for
the state. Hon. ID. j. McGillicuddy OF
Lewiston appeared for the defence. MIR.
Tucker, Mrs. Siddall and Charles Ken
nedy were witnesses in opposition to the
Injunction. The evidence for the state
showed numerous convictions for the
sale of liquor of persons occupying the
buildings named.
This action by County Attorney
Barnes shows that he means to exhaust
the resources of the law in the eudeavor
to restrain the sale of liquor in this
county.
The two buildings against which the
Injunction was granted are on Canal
Street in Rumford Falls, directly across
the canal from the railroad station.
There has hardly been a term of court
for some years that either the owner or
some occupant of one or the other of the
buildings has not been indicted for viola
ton of the liquor law, and the buildings
in question have wide reputation as
saloons.

he had secured spike horn deer.
About the same time our head man went
