WHAT THE

Their Untiring Work Keeps Us Strong

Ali the blood ia the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
OF impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on mlny
diseases and symptoms pain in the

skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel, dis

GENERAL AVERILL IS NOW OUT OF DANGER AND RAPIDLY
 RECOVERING. i.

Commissioner H. o. Averill is now rapidly recovering from an illness which at one time seemed almost cer- tain to be fatal. To Dr Robert A.
 Marcy of New Preston is very largely due the fact that MT Averill is to-day alive and making rapid progress to- ward complete restoration sto health.
 For over twenty years Dr Marcy prac- ticed his profession with unusual suc- cess in this section of Litchfield county and then he sold out his practice and resolved to take it easy during the re- mainder of his life. It is not easy,
 however, for country doctor to en- tirely cut loose from old friendships and patients of many years when crlti- cal illness occasions the sending of a messenger who simply won't take "No" for an answer. Occasionally, therefore, Dr Marcy has yielded to the solicitation of friends and had come to the rescue in case of emergency. General Averill has been an intimate friend of Dr Marcy for about quar- ter of century and when the appeal came to come and prescribe for the General, Dr Marcy could not say "No. y On the contrary he went and stayed night and day until the danger was over. When all others were discour- aged Dr Marcy clung to hope and con- tinued to employ his skill. When Dr Russell of New Haven came up in con- sultation he said that in his opinion Dl Marcy's treatment was exactly cor, rect in every particular and that if the patient survived it would be because of Dr Marcy's effort and the able as
 ssistance of trained and faithful nurses
 At last the crisis was turned and re-
 covery began and Gen Averill will in few weeks be able once more to gt about the state and attend to the busi.

THE WEATHER.

m, F.-A fsS4AsvHs
 We are now looking forward'ato six weeks of winter if the old adage is true or the prophecy of.just as liar as the sun shines in on Candlemas tday solar the snow will blowi in1 before spring, for the sun did shine in for few min utes and if the snow blows in any fur ther on any of the days to come than it did on Candlemas day we think it will overstep the idea of whoever made the prophecy. There has been pre- vailing idea..that if we had 'good cold winter weather that it would be more healthful and less grip. We think we have got it at time of writing and if the grip does get out we think it will get pretty well aired.
