The Eternal Masculine.

A study of the trouser legs as seen

We devote large amount of space this
week to the historical aspect OF the st. Al
bans raid, reproducing in part an article
by Mrs. J. Gregory Smith that appeared
In the vermonter several years ago.
Mrs. Smith herself was q prominent actor
in the events that followed the raid,
and her story may be accepted as au-
thentic. We give also communications
by correspondents and newspaper argu-
ments, pro and con, as to the wisdom and
propriety OF inviting Gen. Bennett II.
Young, chief Of the raiders, to be the
chief visitor on the proposed st. AIbanl
day of Tercentenary week. This invita-
ton, extended officially to Genera
Young by the governor OF Vermont and
the mayor Of st. Adams, has been de
clined by General Young after learning
Of the protest by Roberts post and other

A STARTLING STATEMENT
New York Medical Authorities Claim Dys.
pepsia Causes COnsumption.

The post norton statistics of the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases OF consumption are due
to unchecked dyspepsia, especially
when the victim was predisposed to
tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body ard
brain, the weakened, irritable stom-
ach is unable to digest food, the
body does not receive the required
nourishment, constipation ensues and
the victim becomes thin, weak and
haggard. As a result, the body be-
comes a fertile field for the germs of
disease to lodge and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing toward the de
velopment OF one of the most insid-
iUus and fatal diseases known to man
kind.
Dyspepsia is durable if properly
treated. Crenshaw & Young sell a
remedy which they positively guar
antee will cure indigestion or dys-
pepsia or they will pay for all the
medicine used during the trial. This
remedy is an absolutely new medical
discovery and has been named Rexar
Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no of
fer could be fair, and the offer
of Crenshaw Il Young is proof posi-
tive that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
are a dependable and infallible rem
edy. lnasmuch as the medicine will
cost you nothing if il does not benefit
you we urge you who are suffering
with indigestion or dyspepsia to try
this remedy. A twenty-five cent box
Of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets con-
tains enough medicine for fifteen
days treatment. Remember Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets are only sold in
Lexington by Creushaw d Young.
