BODY Of LEANDER
TOWSLEE FOUND
IN BARN
Continued from LIST page)

The direction Of the Hinsdill farm.
1t was the last time he was seen
alive Whether when he reached the
barn, the aged man went in TO rest
and froze to death as he slept, or he
was overcome by illness and shortly
expired there, will never be known.
The Identification was made GER
tain by means of a letter addressed
to Franklin Scott, which was found
on the body The letter, dated 1881,
contained the specifications for
building designed by Troy architect
The plans had been given by Mr..
Scott to Towslee who was in charge
of the construction work Mr.. Scott
today had no difficulty in remember
ing giving the letter to Mr.. Towslee.
Among other means of identification
were the clothes, watch and knife on
the body
Mr.. Towslee was a master mill
wright and mechanic of great ability.
He was unusually active for man
of his age and as he was in the habit
Iof keeping his own counsel little un-
easiness was felt at first upon his
disappearance. AS time passed, how
ever, every effort was made to dis
cover his whereabouts but all proved
futile.
Deceased had been employed as
Imillwright and carpenter by II. c.
White and Co, and the yelling COM
pany of North Bennington. He is
survived by widow, who was for
merly Mrs. Nancy Shaw Sever, who
resides with her daughter Mrs. Burt
Sloat of Putnam street and by sis
ter, Miss Florence Towslee of North
Bennington.
The burial will take place at the
North Bennington cemetery at 10 o.

estate and title had been acknowl-

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

i have suffered from the same trou-
bic painful finger nails) at different
periods Of my life. The first time Of
its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, I asked my
doctor TO prescribe for me, but it was
not for a. year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The inflamma-
ton and suppuration began at the
base Of the finger nail. Sometimes 1t
was so painful that I had to use a
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
OF Inflammation, possibly not more
than week or two afterwards. These
frequent innammations resulted in the
loss Of the nail l had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
Perhaps ten years later I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again l tried various remedies, among
them a prescription from a doctor of
a friend of mine, who had suffered
from like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for a time, but it was
not permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was so irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that l could not use il.
I began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. ! had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. l did not use
the Soap exclusively, but I rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base Of
the nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as l could had not
used it but few weeks before my
nails were better, and in a short time
they were apparently well. There
was no more suppuration, nor indam-
nation, the nails grew out clean

was all that | used in effecting a
