State Board of Health Warns People
Against Fraud.


What is claimed to be one of the
most stupendous swindles ever per-
petrated in this state has received
the attention of the Vermont labora-
tory of hygiene. AS a result the state
board of health will notify H. J. Pres
ton, manager of the Vermont Oxy-
genator company, that device the
company has sold to rs or more Yer
monters, claiming it would cure many
ailments, does not comply with the
pure food laws, in that it is mis-
branded, the claims set forth on
the labels being misleading and ex-
travagant." The device consists of
nickeled cylinder, which is claimed to
cure diseases by oxygen. When in
use it is placed in cold water and
metallic discs attached by cords are
fastened to the wrists or ankles. The
state laboratory experts have found
that the cylinders were filed with
black powder, apparently the waste
or by product of manufacturing
plant, which was intended, the
experts state, to probably con-
fuse any meddlesome investi-
gator. GAS far as any chem
1cal effects are concerned, the tube
might as well be filed with sand or
lampblack," says the laboratory re-
port. "The oXygenator is inert and
any results it can produce are entire
ly due to the mental effect on the
user, which no doubt would be much
enhanced by reading the cleverly
written literature" Agents work
ing under Manager Preston are sell
ing the device up and down the
state. The prices range from $25 to
$42, according to size, but the pur-
chaser of the most expensive variety
receives gold-plated tube, on which
his name is engraved. 1t is estimated
that the cost of each device is not
more than So. The state board of
health, in it's notice to Manager Pres
ton, will warn him that he is liable
to prosecution if the sale of the de-
vice is continued.

Vacant Buildings on the Wheaton
Campbell Farm Burned.

Campbell Farm Burned.
All of the buildings on what was
known as the Wheaton Campbell
farm, now owned by Willis D. Wood,
were burned Wednesday morning.
The buildings were unoccupied,
Lemuel Lathe, who has lived there
the past season having moved to
Newport the day before the build
ings burned. The hay and all in the
barn were burned. 1t is supposed
that the fire was set. The barn
which was several rods south from
the house was burned first, and the
wind was strong in the north and
west, which blew the fire away from
the house. It had rained through the
night, so that all we're wet. No
neighbors lived near, but when first
seen the barn was all burned and
the house was on fire. There was an
insurance of $500 or more on the
buildings, but it will not cover the
loss. It is probable that the build
ings will never be rebuilt.
