Said to be Fine.

Few people here know that youcan cure
that dread American disease, Rheuma-
tism, with just common every day drugs
found in any drug store. The prescription
is SO simple than any one can prepare it
at home at small cost 1t is made up as
follows: Get from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one-half ounce Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Mix by shaking in a
bottle and take in teaspoonful doses
after each meal and at bedtime These
are all simple ingredients, 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, If 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
rheumatism.
This prescription is said to be a
splendid healing, cleansing and invigor-
ating tonic to the kidneys, and gives
almost immediate relief in all forms OF
bladder and urinary troubles and back.

The BrattlebOrO Small POx Scare.
ALetter from DR.. John M. Allen.

A Letter from DR.. J0nn NJ. Allen.
Editor CALIFORNIAN:
At the head of your editorial page of
yesterday issue appeared some thought
let's concerning the small pox in Brattle-
boro. which seem to me worthy of answer
and cheerfully take up the burden. 1t
seems to me of very little consequence
what eight out OF ten" residents may
think or not think regarding the genuine
ness of the small pox in question. The
facts are that two experts from New
York came to Brattleboro and investi-
gated some of the early cases, spending
many hours in this work and pronounced
it small pox. On their judgment it
would seem wise to rely You probably
remember that only a few years ago a
similar epidemic was raging in this
county and the same measures were
taken land wisely SOY to find out its
nature aud quel the disease. Probably

at that time felt the same as many resi-
dents OF Brattleboro do today. The
sent the old so-called cardinal symp-
toms" and dpes not conform to the no.
tons of Iaymen proves nothing. 1t
seems to me fair to believe that one hun
dred years Of vaccination may have
modified the disease somewhat, as has
mercury and potassium modified another
specific disease, which today has not the
terrors which it had a century ago. 1t
is only few years ago that eight out
of ten" persons would not believe that
anyone could have diphtheria unless one
died and had a strictly private inter
ment. Then everyone was satisfied as
! to the correctness OF the diagnosis in a
given case. Today we all recognize the
fact that a great majority of sore
throats etc, are OF diphth retic origin
| but the disease is robbed OF its terrors to
a great extent. venture to assert that
eight out OF Ten Of these blatant
doubters would hesitate to expose know
ingly themselves 10 this disease even
| though they de- consider 1t itch or some
other simple malady.
The members OF the medical profession
of Brattleboro need no defense at my
hands. A good many years acquain-
tance with a majority of them has con-
WINGED me that they are an honest, hard
working set OF men who are laboring to

The Lake ChampIain Celebration.

A Joint meeting of the Vermont and
New York Commission to arrange for
a weeks celebration around Lake
Champlain next July was held at the
Ten Eyck in Albany on Saturday, the
5th. The Vermont Commission was
represented by Gov. Prouty, President
Thomas of Middlebury College, U. S.
Marshall Bailey of Newbury, Messrs.
Van Patten and Beaupre of Burlington,
Walter H. Crockett of St. Adams, his
torian for the Sons of American Rovolu-
ton, Lynn M. Hays of Essex Junction,
the secretary, and General Manager
George |. Jarvis of the Rutland Railroad,
the entire commission being present with
the exception of Hon. Frank L. Fish OF
Vergennes and Arthur F. Stone of St.
Johnsbury. the latter being detained by
illness in his family. OF the New York
commission nearly all were present.
Gov. Prouty, the chairman of the joint
commission presided.
The principal feature of the celebration
will be a water pageant participated
in by $50 real Indians during the
week of the celebration, beginning July
5. 1t was to discuss ways and means,
and different features of this particu-
lar phase of the grand celebration,
that called the commission together,
it having been agreed at the last joint
meeting OF the commissions held in the
executive chamber at Montpelier that
the two states should join in this event.
The Joint commission, at his request,
spent an hour in consultation with
Governor Hughes in the executive cham
Der in the Capitol. The visiting com
mission were shown through the Capt
toll building and afterwards entertained
by Gov. Hughes at lunch at the execu.
tive mansion. 1t is very significant
omen for good that the governors oil
Vermont and New York are vitality
and enthusiastically interested in this
historic event which commentaries the
Booth anniversary of the discovery Of
Champlain and Of Vermont.

The Two Most Interesting Books.

The last Congregationalist had a
unique symposium from its readers who
gave their opinions of the two most in

the year. Two former residents of st.
Johnsbury contributed to the symposium
and their letters follow;
Two things stand out in memory: a
rereading of the minor English poets of
the last fifty years and the renewed con-
viction of the necessity of faith for the
making of great poetry; George Mere

as his books always do, but yet unlocks
life's secrets and shows a man to himself
unforgettably.

Chateau and Country Life, by Madame
Washington, recalling delightful men,
ores of a leisurely tramp through
France, gave me as well peep into that
home life" within the castle walls" so jeal-

passing tourist. The Testing of Diana
Mallory charmed me by its absolutely
fresh and absorbing plot, the sharp out
lines OF its character drawing. Who
would not be impressed by the frankness
with which Mrs. Ward faces the fact
that an exceedingly lovely woman often
throws herself away on an entirely
worthless man and, after all, only
enhances her loneliness thereby
