Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the
disease. Catarrh is a blood or con-
stitutional disease, and in order to
cure it you must take internal rene
dies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. 1t was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the
best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting di-
rectly on the mucous surfaces. The
perfect combination of the two in
gradients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh.

ANOTHER SAINT ALbANS
BOY
An Account OF His Life Since Leaving
This Country

In our issue Of June ), We published
a story OF the life Of former St. Al
bars man, now of Washington. u. G..
We now have another news account
of the same nature concerning a for
mer Somerset County man.
The dependent-Reporter is very
anxious to get these accounts, for il
is an especially agreeably duty to keep
former residents in touch with their
old friends and acquaintance, in this,
their home county.
Henry Watson, now Of Auburn, was
born in St. Adams, September 26, 1871.
He was the son of William H. Watson,
a farmer of that town, which was al
ways his home and where he died
April y, 1882.
In April. 1869, the subject of this
sketch was married to Miss Jennie S.
Russell the only daughter OF John
Russell of Cambridge, Maine. The
union resulted In the birth of one
daughter, Florence f. The first move
Mr. Watson made after his marriage
was to the town of Cambridge owing
to the i'll health of Mrs. Watson's faith
er. This change was made in 1893
and in the spring of 1895 the st. AL
bans farm was sold only to be repur-
chased in April 1901. This property
was not long owned by Mr.. Watson as
in the fall of that same year he again
sold it. The year of 1898 was marked
by the deaths of Mr. Watson's mother
and of Mrs. Watsons father. The
next year in 1899, the daughter of the
family graduated from High School
and her parents wishing to give her a
college education left Cambridge and
that same year on the Both day of Au-
gust went to Auburn, where Miss Flor
ence entered the Edward Little High
School in September. Owing to i'll
health, however, she did not graduate
but after regaining her health accept
ed a position in Foss & Packard's Shoe
Shop.
Her marriage with Edwin d. Ames
of Auburn was consumated Sept. s.
1908, Auburn since continuing to be
their home
Soon after going to Auburn Mr.. Wat
son began work for F. r. Conant &
Co, where he remained until Dec
%, 1905, when he had the misfortune
to lose the thumb and forefnger OF
the right hand. The next year in
May he went to work for the Turner
Center Creamery Co., Of Auburn and
worked there for three years and five
months. He later held a position as
night-watchman but as he did not feel
satisfied with that sort of work and
in 1910 he began work in the shoe
shop of Field Bros. & Goss where
he is still employed. Mrs. Watson S
mother lived until Dec. 1st, 1910.
