SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT.

Much sympathy is expressed through. out this community for Mrs Charles G.. Sherwood, late of Stratford, but form. erly of Greens Farms, whose husband was drowned in Mill river while at- tempting to cross that stream in a wagon, last Wednesday, enroute to the Greenfield fair. MT Sherwood, who was probably unacquainted with the crossing, urged his horse into the mid dle of the stream, which at this point is dangerous on account of its spongy bed. The horse plunged to extricate itself from the mire and in so doing threw itself over backward directly upon the occupants of the wagon, bringing them beneath him under about 10 feet of water. MT Sherwood's 12- year-old son managed to crawl out of the predicament and swim to shore but MT Sherwood it is thought became en- tangled in the harness to such an ex- tent that he was unable to help him. self. Although the boy hurried to get aid and strong hands willingly re- sponded, Mir Sherwood was beyond medical help when brought to the sur. face. The deceased was a native and long time resident of Greens Farms, where he was widely known and uni versally esteemed. Mrs Sherwood. as before her marriage Miss Mattie Meek CT, daughter of the late Burr Meeker of Cross Highway district.

Natures Defence
 Against Disease
Which Enables the Body to Cast Of P0is0n-
 Ous Germs,
IS RICH HE \LTHY BLOOD.
The Best Way to Prevent and Cure Most Common Diseases Is to Keep
 the Blood in Good Condition.

Pure, red blood is the body's only defence against disease. When healthy, the blood attacks the poisons of dis ease and so changes them that they can be thrown off through the lungs, skin, kidneys and bowels. In fact this is what the blood is constantly doing and disease occurs only when the blood becomes impure through errors of liv- ing, such as overwork, worry, lack of fresh air or of nourishing food. It is then unable to overcome the poisons and they are carried throughout the body and in the weakest organs the disease gains a foothold.
 In the case of Mrs M. Durkee, of Goifs Falls, N. H., the common mis- take was made of neglecting the blood and merely treating the symptoms. This mistake led to five years of sick ness and it was not until she took a blood-building medicine, Dr Williams Pink Pills, that she was cured. Of her case she says:
 q have always worked hard and was in rundown condition when began to suffer with lack of blood. l noticed at first that l was having frequent dizzy spells with fits of faintness. When l walked 1 found that my back was weak and after time 1 would have to lie down. My appetite was poor and l was often sick to my stom- ach. My complexion was sallow, l lost nearly fifteen pounds in weight and kept growing weaker.
 "The doctor said l had anaemia and he treated me for it. When saw that his medicine wasn't helping me, I thought l would give Dr Williams Pink Pills trial. This was after 1 had been ailing for five years. knew from the first box that the pills were helping me and kept on using them until entirely cured. l felt like new person. 1 haven't used any medicine since was cured of the anaemia. "
 The tonic treatment with Dr Will liam's Pink Pills is successful, where all others fail, because it acts directly on the blood, purifying and building it up to it's normal health. It thereby keeps the body healthy even under un- usual conditions.
 A booklet Diseases of the Blood" showing what Dr Williams Pink Pills have done in anaemia and other blood diseases, will be sent free upon re- quest. ,s .@ t-4z~ vau .-
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for S2.5O, by the Dr Will Hams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. ~.r

To remove Pimples, Blackheads,

 Physician, very easy matter; he says
 that many are afflicted with some one
 of the above ailments, and are subject
 to great deal of embarrassment on &C., count of the unsightly appearance which they present, and recommends the following simple. harmless and in- expensive treatment. Go to your Druggist and get this prescription filled: Clearola one-half ounce, Ether one ounce, Alcohol seven ounces; mix, shake well and apply to the parts affected night and morning, allowing it to remain for at least ten minutes, then wipe off the powder from the skin. Use a soft cloth or sponge in applying the mixture and in from ten days to two weeks your face will be smooth and clear as a marriage bell. Get the Pure Clearola, which is only put up in one-half ounce packages. Ask to see 1t. .... ...-.
