A CURE FOR
NEURALGIA
Remarkable Recovery at Lisbon
Proves Its Power in This
Painful Disease.

Neuralgia is inflammation of nerve.
This inflammation is sometimes caused
by exposure to cold sometimes by the
nerve irritation arising from decayed
tooth. OF all causes, however, a general
debility Of the system is by far the most
frequent. The most eminent nerve
specialists and the greatest medical
writers agree on this point
Lack of blood is almost always associ-
ated with neuralgia Build up the blood,
the impoverished nerves are fed and the
neuralgia pains disappear Absolute
rest is the best aid to proper medical
treatment.
The cure of Mrs. F. @. Carter, of No.
High street, Lisbon, N H., by the use
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills should lead
other sufferers from neuralgia to try this
remedy. Mrs. Carter says:
Following some trouble with my
teeth was afflicted with neuralgia in
the head. The pains were terrible and
sometimes caused me to faint. also had
dreadful headaches. was confined to
bed as often as two or three days a
week. For two years l had no relief
from my suffering and lost so much in
weight that my friends thought would
never get we'll.
"The doctor treated me for neuralgia
and said my blood would have to be
built up. After getting no help for two
years began using DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and took them regularly. felt
better after giving the pills trial and
continued with them until 1 was free
from the neuralgia. have had no re-
turn of the trouble and, as I consider
my cure due to DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
/ recommend them to anyone who needs
blood or nerve tonic"
If you are i'll and the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for
proof of what DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have done in similar cases. Their merit
has made them the most widely used
family medicine in the world today.
Every nervous sufferer should send for
a copy of our booklet, Nervous Dis

MOntelier, Dies at San Francisco.
telegram has been received in
the city announcing the death, April
10th, at Fruitvale, suburb of San
Francisco, Calf, of DR.. Norah
Sprague Marshall, formerly of this
city. DR.. Marshall's practice in
San Francisco had been extensive
and followed the terrible devasta-
ton caused by the earthquake, she
labored too strenuously, sapping
her strength. She had been seri-
ously i'll but three weeks with can
Ger and remained two weeks at a
San Francisco hospital. When it
was found that her case was hope
less she was removed to the home
of friends at Fruitvale, who gave
her most loving care until the end.
Her work had relieved many case
of human suffering caused by the
earthquake and her strength was
unequal to the task she had set be-
fore her.
DR.. Marshall was born in Brook
field, VT, September 10, 1869, and
attended the schools of Brookfield
for her elementary training. Later
she attended Randolph Normal
school and gradated from Goddard
Seminary at Barre in 1892. She
then entered the University of Mich
igan from which she received her
degree in 1896. Her college course
was a brilliant one, and in both her
junior and senior years she was
signally honored as assistant in
some of the laboratory courses.
In the fall of 1896 she located in
Montpelier, remaining here and
building up an extensive practice
until the fall of 1902 when she went
to California. Only one member of
the immediate family survive her,
Mrs. E. " Price, a sister, of Covina.
Calf. The funeral was held on
Monday at San Francisco.
DR.. Marshall's career, though ter
minated early, was marked with
brilliant successes, and deeply in
earnest in her chosen vocation, ad-
mirably trained for the work at
hand and with an ambition which
dominated her every effort, friends
had watched her still further
achievements as she advanced in
her career. Her ambition to ale
viate the suderings of others during
the great confusion which immedt-
ately followed the terrors of the
San Francisco earthquake, rendered
her Indispensable but she disregard
ed her own physical limitations in
doing for others. Her early death
is regretted by numberless friends
in Vermont as we'll as in California.

Edwin Potvin, an employee of the
varnish room of the Porter Screen
company of Winooski. drank a guam
tty of wood alcohol Thursday morn
ing and as a result the combined
efforts of two physicians were re-
quired for several hours to save his
life. Potvin, who had been drinking
heavily of late, was found lying in
the yards of the Screen company
shortly before one o'clock by an en-
ployee who was returning to work.
The man was unconscious and was
taken to his home on Malletts Bay
avenue and Drs. Hill and Heath
hurried to his assistance. 1t was
at first thought that Potvin had
been overcome by inhaling he ben

time where he could breathe the
benzine fumes. Upon awakening
he went out into the. yards, and it is
possible THAT after the employees
left at noon he secured the alcohol.
After recovering sufficiently to con-
verse with the physicians he told
them that he had taken two good
sized drinks of wood alcohol diluted
with water. The alcohol is used
at the shop in preparing varnishes
for use. Potvin is married and has
two children.

The Hon. Rodney ADell known to
thousands of Vermonters as "Fath-
er of the House." died Wednesday
in West Haven aged IS years. He
had a remarkable legislative record.
He was a member of the assembly
in 1859, 1860, 1868, 1869, 1874, 1876,
1880, 1882, 1884, 1886. 1890, 1898
and 1900. He was a senator from
Rutland county in 1870. 1t was
said Of him that owing to his extra
ordinary years, he had become the
best parliamentarian in any posi-
BILE House and it was next thing to
impossible to force improper or UNI
constitutional measures through
that body when he was present. He
was sometimes severely blamed for
his punctillious insistence on hav-
ing all bills read in full the third
time, instead of their titles only
and probably saved much improper
legislation from being placed on the
statute books to be overthrow later
by the courts.
