AFIesh-Formina Food.

When you buy a package of Samose,
the great flesh-forming food, weigh
yourself and see how much you gain in
the first weeks use milford r. Burt
will tell you of many of his customere
who a month or so ago were thin, pale
and haggard, but who are now, through
the use of Samose, plump, strong and
happy, with perfect health and attrac-
tive flesh. He has seen so many in
stances of the wonderful power of Sa-
NOSE to restore the weak and sick to
strength and health, and to make good
natural flesh that he gives his personal
guarantee with every package of Samose
he sells to refund the money if it does
not prove satisfactory.
Samose is pure preparation, guar
anteed under the Pure Food Law by
serial number $685., and can be used
with absolute confidence by the most
delicate. 1t gives remarkable results
with children who are weak and run
down and without appetite. 1t builds
up the thin, pale, puny girl and woman
to perfect plumpness and health. 1t is
the only flesh forming food of its kind
and in adnition, it strengthens every
organ of the body, restoring strength
and health to the whole system.

cent size of DIR. Towards specific, for
the cure of constipation and dyspepsia,

have bought hundreds of bottles.
Many orders have come by mail at this
popular price, for it is very unusual to
be able to buy sixty doses of a standard
medicine for half price
Every bottle of specific sold by milford
r. Burt has had his personal guarantee
to refund the money if it was not salts

ing the wonderful curative power of this
remedy.
Unlike ordinary medicines for cOnsti-
patton and dyspepsia, the dose OF DIR.
Towards specific is reduced after few
days use, and the cure is soon complete
and lasting.

FOR THIRTY YEARS.
Mr.. Flint Has Been Doing the
Same Kind of Work.

The following is taken from the Ohio
Sun, Columbus, o., and the two gentle
men named Will be pleasantly remem-
bered by the older Middlebury popula-
ton:
Every time come to Columbus, and
that has been several times year for the
past 20 years, am reminded of an old
friend of my boyhOod days, Colonel Fred
ID. Mu, sey," said John F. Flint at the
Neil house on Saturday.
The Colonel Mussey to whom he re-
ferred in this conversation was, in his
time, one of the best-known newspaper
men of Ohio, long connected with the
old Cincinnati Commercial as special staff
correspondent, and private secretary to
Governor Charles Foster during his ad-
mnistratiOn.
MIR. Flint is "a veteran shoe drummer
travelling this territory. and if he lives
until next July he will have completed
the remarkable record of having repre-
scented the same shoe company on the
road through New York and Ohio for 80
years, without missing but two days of
work, and that was on account of sick
ness. All this time he has represented
Winch Brothers company of Boston and
he modestly lays claim to the title of
"Winch's hired man. and declares that
he is entitled to 1.-The long distance fool
belt for having absented himself from
his home for 30 years while travelling
over the country from city to city.
CAME FROM MIDDLEBURY.
Mr.. Flint and Col. Mussey were reared
together up in Vermont in the village of
Middlebury, and left home together on
the same train to seek their fortunes else
where. Mr.. Flint stopped at Troy, New
York, and went to work. Mussey went
on to Cincinnati, Ohio, because he had a
letter of recommendation to the then
managing editor of the Cincinnati Times
now the Times-Star.
AS he told Mr. Flint on their next meet
ing, few years later, he presented his
letter to the Times manager with a re-
quest for work, and was informed "If
you want to take your life in your own
hands, we can put you to work. Our
man that we have just had down in
Louisiana keeping track of the Grant and
Colfax parish troubles has just been shot
You can take his place, if you want it,"
"Ill take it, replied Mussey, and he
went down into the midst of the trouble
and came out of it alive. Subsequently
he went with the Commercial and was
sent here to report state capital and leg
islative news. He afterward married
the daughter of Governor Foster and be-
came the private secretary of that Off
cial.
They separated afterward, and Mussey
went back to the old Vermont home and
died there few years ago.
