PHYSICIAN.

In November last death claimed one
of the venerable physicians of Western
New York. DR.. Alonzo Wiltse of Dele
van, Cattaraugus County. Mr.. Wiltse
had been a practising physician for sew
enty years. A peculiar circumstance in
connection with his life is the fact that
thirty years ago he was stricken with
Bright IS disease and after n thorough
examination and consultation by emf
nent Buffalo physicians, his case was
pronounced incurable and he was ad-
earthly career.
Returning to his home with such sad
information he was spurred to make a
desperate analysis and study of
Bright s disease, with the result that
he formulated a remedy which com
pletely cured him and gave him an ad-
ditional lease of thirty years of life, or
until the age of "a years, as mentioned
above.
Mr.. Wiltsc in his practice thereafter
used the remedy with great success. The
mixture can be obtained at any local
drug store at a nominal cost, and the
complete formula will be mailed, post
paid, on receipt of twenty-five conts
by addressing the Empire Type Foun-
dry, 500 Morgan Bldg, Buffalo, N. Y,
enclosing % cents in stamps or coin.
The Empire Type Foundry is one of
the largest antitrust type makers aud

cial Agency of $4,000, with high
credit.

into the hele, which is fifty feet deep,
creating whirlpool.
Mellinger was in a canoe and some
boys dared him to shoot the rapids.
He did it four times, each time pad
ding back again up stream with great
skill. The fifth time the canoe upset,
Mellinger clung to 1t, and had he held
pn would have been carried ashore, for
the canoe landed there two minutes
after he let go. He tried to swim
ashore, however, and suddenly sank.
Twenty persons on the banks wit
messed the drowning.
Searchers could not find the body,
and the Grafton police will explode
dynamite, expecting to bring the
corpse to the surface. Mellinger was
