The season for shipping ice from
this vicinity is now over and the va
cant houses along this and the Penob-
scot river will be placed in condition
for the winter harvest if 1t is found
necessary to cut ice this way. The
many artificial ice pla9ts have nearly
ruined the ice business \in this state
and when there is a crop on thu Hud-
son river. which is much nHfrer the
markets, there is little prospect of ice
business on this river. IT. was thought
at the first o: the season last winter
that there would be good crop on
the Hudson but it developed that none
was cut and then it was necessary to
take what Eenncbec ice could be
harvested. The season was late and
the fields had not been cultivated but
the crop was taken as 1t was. IT. tas
very poor and this summer but Se.,tle
has been shipped. That that row re-
mains will be allowed to either melt
during the coming summer or else
thrown out. There is very little good
ice now in the houses and a good win
ter would mean much to the laboring
man as the wages paid by the COM
panieS is very fair.

AN ATTACK
OF LUMBAC0
CANNOT BE CURED BY EXTERNAL
APPLICATIONS.
They May Give Temporary Relief but
the Disease Must BE Cured
THROUGH the Blood.

Anyone who has had an attack OF
lumbago knows the ordinary treatments,
such as hot cloths, hot water bags, hot
flatirons and bags of heated salt or hops.
These give feeling of comfort, which
is temporary relief, but the disease is
not cured and one attack follows an
other, suddenly and painfully.
AS Ill the treatment of muscular rheu-
matism, lumbago must be cured through
the blood. This is the method OF the
tonic treatment and it's success is shown
by the statement of Mrs. Ida NJ. Hawes,
of No. 1855 Washington street, New
Dorchester, Mass. She says:
Through exposure became afflicted
with lumbago a few years ago. did
not mind the trouble at first but soon it
became more serious. The.pains would
catch me very suddenly in the small of
my back and it seemed as though l
was doubled up My right side was
affected and the pains were worse dur
ing damp weather. I was hardly able
to get around and do my work. My
spine seemed to ache all of the time. 1
had these pains on and off for a number
of years and was frequently confined to
the bed for week or more at a time.
1.-THE doctor said had very bad
case of lumbago and that it would be
some time before I could get well. After
taking his medicine for while. 1 decid-
ed to change to DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
My sister had recommended them to me.
The pills quickly helped me and l took
them until cured"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have also
cured such blood diseases as an8mia,
rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and
fevers. Owing to the intimate relation
between the blood and nerves, the pills
have been found invaluable in such ner-
vous diseases as dizziness, nervous de-
bility, neuralgia and st. Vitus' dance
A booklet, Diseases of the Blood, "
giving more information about the re-
NEEDY will be sent free on request. If
you are suffering from impoverished
blood you cannot afford to wait another
day before giving the pills a trial.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
