Oil Treatment for
Stomach Troubles

A simple prescription made up of
combination of pure vegetable oils is
producing wonderful results for suf-
ferers from stomach, liver and intestinal
troubles. The remedy, which is said
to have originated in France, where it
has been used for years by the peasantry,
was introduced into this country by
George II. Mayr, a leading Chicago
druggist, who cured himself of severe
stomach, liver and intestinal troubles by
its use. Those who have used it say the
first dose is sufficient to convince any one
of its remarkable merit, and that within
twenty-f four hours the sufferer feels like
a new person. This medicine, which
has become known as Ma, rs Wonderful
Stomach Remedy, is now sold by first
class druggists everywhere. 1t is now
sold here by

John Howard Hunter, who left max
ing wooden shoe pegs at 81 cents a.
day to become a soldier saw service in
a New Hampshire regiment that in its
earlier days had about as much eXer
else marching as any in the service,
the regiment that built the famous
$ grapevine bridge over the Kappa
hammock river, over which the Army
of the Potomac marched to the battle
of Fair Oaks. The bridge was so called
because practically no nails were used
in its construction, the planks and
timbers being fastened together with
wild grapevines which abounded in
that locality.
Mr.. Hunter was born in Cornish, n.
H., March IS, 1871, the oldest of four
sons of Zeno and Almira (Burnap)
Hunter. His father was farmer and
he remained on the home place until
his mother died, when he was > years
Of age. He went to live with his
grandfather Burnap and had been there
some months when he discovered in the
Newport Argus that shop for making
wooden shoepegs was to be opened in
Newport. In spite of the objection
of his grandfather he went there and
obtained work at 81 cents a day, al
which he continued until the outbreat
Of the war. He enlisted Sept. s, 1861
in Company E, 9Th New Hampshire
regiment, in Newport and the regiment
gathered at Concord, n H., where i
was mustered into the service.
The regiment started for Washing
