An Interesting Savings
Bank Record.

Any system OF method of doing Lusi-
ness which varies much from that fol-
lowed by others engaged in the same
line, is always watched with eager
interest. The scheme of banking used
SO successfully by the Hyde Park Saw
ings Bank is so different from that of
the other Banks in the State, that it
is found especially interesting. The
Brattleboro Reformer says:
IT is interesting to note the progress of this
institution because OF the fact that all its
funds are invested in Vermont and it has
never lost dollar by poor note.
This Bank pays 4 per cent. COM

BOO or more remaining in the bank

n ome- Made Treatment To Over
come Rheumatism.


When an eminent authority announced
in the Scranton (Pa) Times that he had
found new way to treat that dread
American disease, Rheumatism, with
just common, everyday drugs found in
any drug store, the physicians were slow
indeed to attach much importance to his
claims. This was only a few months
ago. Today nearly every newspaper in
the country, even the metropolitan
dailies, is announcing it and the splen-
did results achived. 1t is so simple that
anyone can prepare it at home at small
cost 1t is made up as follows: Get from
any good prescription pharmacy
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
onuce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each meal
and at bedtime. These are all simple in
gradients, making an absolutely harmless
home remedy at little cost.
rheumatism, as every one knows, is a
symptom of deranged kidneys. 1t is a
condition produced by the failure of the
kidneys to properly filter or strain from
the blood the uric acid and other matter
which, il not eradicated, either in the
urine or through the skin pores, remains
in the blood, decomposes and forms
about the joints and muscles, causing
the Untold suffering and deformity of
This prescription is said to be a splen-
did healing, cleansing and invigorating
tonic to the kidneys, and gives almost
relief in all forms of bladder
and urinary troubles and backache. He
also warns people in a leading New York
paper against the discriminate use of
many patent medicines.
