fighting Tommy Atkins on the plains

Weigh Yourself Before Using

Weigh yourself before commencing to
use Samose, the great f1esh-forming food
The wonderful sale on this preparation
since first introduced in Augusta and the
remarkable results following its use have
made Bowditch, Webster & Co. such en-
thusiastic believers in the great value of
Samose that they give their personal
guarantee to refund the money if Sa-
NOSE will not make thin people fat and
restore strength and health to those who
use it.
This is a strong guarantee. but Bow
ditch, Webster & Co. have seen SO many
of their customers who few weeks ago
looked like walking skeletons become
plump and well, solely through the use
of Samose that they feel they cannot say
too much to induce people to try it.
This marvellous f1esh-forming food is as
simulated as soon as it is taken into the
stomach. makes good rich blood, tones
up the weakened system, helps to as
simulate the food and makes the user

Probably the smallest boy in the city
of Augusta, and perhaps in Kennebeo
county, is Master Joseph Phillip
Blanchard. the infant son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Blanchard. Jr.. of Northern
avenue. The young man is but few
days old. having been born last Mon
dav, and is one of twins, but while his
little sister who accompanied him on
his advent into the world weighs six
pounds the best that he could do at
birth was to tip the scales at an even
Mound. The attending physician says
that Joseph is the smallest baby he
ever see born alive. An idea of the
young mans diminutive size may be
had from the fact that an ordinary fin
ger ring has been slipped on over one
of his hands and to the shoulder and
over one of his feet and to his groin.
