GERMS IN HER SYSTEM
Every Woman Should Read This.

Every Woman Should Read This.
The number of diseases peculiar 20
woman is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain mere
mention of their names, and it is a
fact that most of these diseases are
of catarrhal nature A woman can
not be well if there is a trace of the
catarrhal germs in her system.
Some women think there is no help
for them. We positively declare this
to be a mistaken idea We are so
sure of this that we offer to supply
medicine absolutely free of all cost
in every instance where it fails to
give entire satisfaction or does not
substantiate our claims With this I'M
Outstanding, no woman should hest
tate to believe our honestyof purpose.
or hesitate to put our claims TO test.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrh. That way is through the blood.
You may use all the snuffs, douches or
like remedies for years without getting
more than temporary relief at best.
Catarrh is caused by a germ. That
germ is carried to the innermost part
of the system until the mucuous mem
brane is broken, irritation and inflam-
nation produced, and flow of mu-
cuous results, and you can probably
realize bow silly it is to attempt to
cure such an ailment unless you take
a medicine that follows the same
course as the germ or parasite.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of an
eminent physician who for 80 years
made his speciality catarrh, and with
this medicine he averaged 50 per cent
of cures where it was employed. No
other remedy is so properly designed
for the ailments of woman. 1t will pur

will consist in evolving standard tests
of clays for the purpose of determin-

Of the clay resources of the country
and avoiding the great money losses
caused by i'll advised investments in

ANOTHER PETITION
Telephone CompsOy and City
 May Get Together.

The telephone company has filed another petition to make a conduit in the public streets. This time they desire to make a connection from Meadow street to the first pole on Freight street. The street commit tee has been requested to look it up, but they have not yet done anything about It. It Is hoped they will get together on this one. The miXnp on Grand street was due to lot of things which 1t would be hard to ex- plain. The company wanted to go 10 the first pole beyond given point, but 1t developed that the first poie did not belong to them and the thing didn't work. What they really want ed was to go to their" first pole, so that the use of the article the al- though we are told it is definite. turned out to be very misleading in that instance. This city is anxious to eliminate the poles and bury the wires, but Mayor Thoms and the street committee are very much 0p- posed to issuing burial permits for wires so long as the poles remain as monuments to point out where tue wires that once rested on their arWs are tucked away under ground.

RACK AFTER B YEARS. Louis Avery, Mourned as Dead, ke'

Southington, Dec 10-Louis Avery returned to Southington this week after an absence of thirty-three years. In 1875, Avery left town and nothing had been heard from him since, and his children mourned him as dead.
 When he left here in '75 he wore a short, dark mustache and his hair was jet black. He returned with flowing white beard and white hair.
 After leaving here he went out west and settled in Midland, Mich. He remarked and bought large farm which he has worked ever since.
 About three months ago his wife wrote on to his children that he was still alive and was anticipating trip east to see them. The news was re- ceived with joy and the letter was immediately answered assuring him of hospitality should he come east. Despite the fact that he is S2 years old. he made the trip from Michigan alone and says that it was delight ful. He was received with open arms and there was general rejoicing in the family.
 He has five children, Mrs William Foley and Mrs Frederick Styring of this place. Mrs William H. Hall Of Meriden. Mrs Emma Lindsley of Bridgeport and Louis Avery. whose whereabouts is unknown. While resident of Southington, he was a machinist and bolt maker in Frost's factory
