Liver Troubles and Malaria.

A prominent physician is using the
following prescription in all cases OF
liver troubles and malaria, and reports
that some remarkable cures have been
made by it's use. Get from the drug
store one-half ounce Of fluid extract OF
fringe tree, onn-eighth ounce OF mud
extract of gentian. one ounce OF con-
centrated LectO compound and TWO
and thrce-e -eighths ounces Of syrup OF
ginger Mix and shake these well and
take one teaspOonful in a half-glass OF
water before each meal and at bed
time. These ingredients are all vege-
table and nom poisonous and therefore
leave no bad after effect.
The doctor states that he prescribes
this in all cases of lazy liver. bilious
ness, malaria, ague chills and fever,
headaches resulting from disordered
liver, etc.
These ingredients may be secured
separately and mixed at home. or can
be put up at small expense by almost
any firSt-Class druggist. This formula
will do wonders in a short time.

RETIRED BUSINESS man
fAv0RS new THEORY
E. H. Lambert, of Everett, Massachusetts
Believes Stomach the Seat OF Life.

One of the most interesting state
ments made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory that
has spread over the country during the
past year is made by f. Fl. Lambert,
a retired business man. whose home is
at 115 Francis Street. Everett. Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this to say in con-
nection with Cooper and his medi-
cines: Some time ago l read an ar
ticle about this man Cooper, in which
he claimed that stomach trouble was
directly responsible for most ill health
He went on TO say that although his
medicine did nothing but get the stom-
ach in sound condition. it would. in
many cases. remove kidney and liver
trouble and various other ailments
He argued from this that the stomach
was the main cause Of sickness. and
stated that the success he has had
with his medicines was due entirely to
this fact.
II am now fully convinced that this
theory is correct, and believe Cooper
has a really remarkable medicine,
judging from my own experience.
II have been a sick man for five
years. Three years ago l was told by
Daily Kennebec journal., 1907-11-19

a physician that ! had Brights dis
ease Of the kidneys. l have treated
constantly for this trouble since, with
out results. After reading the article
l have mentioned, l purchased some
of this man COoper'S medicine. / have
been astounded by what it has done
for me. l was relieved to some extent
within "a hours. Today my health is
better than for five years, and so far
as l can tell, my kidney trouble has
disappeared.
My wife, who had stomach trouble
for some time, tried the preparation
after noting it's action in my case, and
her improvement is fully as marked
as mine. She now eats heartily three
times a day without any distress what
soever. Her nervousness has also left
her. ! certainly believe this mans
success is fully justified. as he un
doubtedly has a wonderful medicine"
We will gladly describe the remark
able record made by the Cooper medi-
cines to all who wish to know of them.

Assumpsit to recover for 150 weeks
room rent at Sl.59 per week, according
to the account annexed, or 112 weeks

tif's testimony. The plaintiff IS

her daughter in April 1901. After their
marriage the defendant and his wife

on the lower floor. the defendant and
his wife took the vacated room and tn.
plaintiff claims that the defendant then
agreed to pay S5.5n per week This in
crease of price is denied by the de
fendant He continued to pay $3.50 per
week as before. but the plaintiff claims
that that am" unit was in payment of
the table board only and that the bal
ance Of Two dollars per week remained
unpaid during all the time from April
1904 to Nav 110G, when trouble arose in
the family and the defendant left, The
question IS one purely of fact and the
testimony overwhelmingly suStains til"
defendants contention. The plaintiff S
testimony is unsatisfactory and SELF
contradictory, while the surrounding
circumstances and facts negative her
claim that an independent item of two
dollars per week was accommodating
against the defendant during all til"
time that she was receiving from him
exactly $3.50 per week, and was giving
him rccciptS. some OF which were lin
full to date" No such charge was i'll

Since the installation Of the grano-

made that many Of the merchants and
others wash their windows and allow
the overflow of water to drench the
sidewalks. In winter this might cas-
lily cause a dangerous condition, as the
walks would become coated with a
CLASSY, slippery covering. The city is
not responsible for the condition and
should accident happen to any person
the party causing the above condition
would be holden as responsible, not the
city. This has been demonstrated in

Of the city government, therefore. that
