 NOW REoReANIzED
Former H. 8. Porter Shop Being op- .erated to Nearly Full Capaeity.

In is ct interest to Norwich people to learn that. an extensive and import ant old time Norwich industry, which suffered 50 severely for several years through the depression of the build ing trade and from lack of sufficient operating capital, that it was obliged \ to discontinue operations, has been revived and reorganized; with strong being operated to nearly full capacity and enjoying a prosperous and stead fly increas sing trade, with bright pros poets for a continuous and satisfactory business.
 The large Sash. door and trim fac tory, located al. Lafayette and Oneco streets in Norwich, which was owned and operated by H. B. Porter & Son Co, for many years, was purchased the, oldesst and largest concerns in New York engaged in the manufacture and sale of lumber.

IT IS SERIOUS
Some Norwich PeepU Fail to Realize
 the Seriousness of Bad Back.

The constant aching of bad back
 The weariness, the tired feeling.
 The pains and aches of kidney ills

 Dangerous bladder troubles often follow.
 This Norwich woman shows you what to do.
 Mrs Walter Thompson, A Summit St, says: "Overwork, such as wash ing or sweeping and often dampness. brought on very bad attacks of back ache. The pains were terribly sharp and piercing. Mornings when got up my back felt so lame and sore that I could hardly straigften. When I bent over. those pains caught me across my back and it was hard to straighten up. i used other medicines but nothing gave me such fine relief as Doap's Kidney ills. Doan's are deserving of the highest praise"

Mortality in Dphtheria Decreased From 259o to Per
 Cent Since introduction of Antitoxin-Six Nuisances
 Reported and Promptly Abated During the Year-Satis- ' fsctory Conditions Found m Schoshouses and Public Buildings.

, ent on wells for drinking water. Measles: Twenty-four cases of this disease were reported. This epidemic
 was confined wholly to the west part
 there were no fatalities. Scarlatina: Three cases only One in
 Taftvfile and two at Trading Cove.
 Scarlatina: Three cases of diph-
 theria we're reported which is one more than last year ana nine more than there ought to be. for this is one preventable disease. a filthy disease. If the entire community kept their premises clean, with sanitary drains and all decaying vegetable matter dis posed of properly, there would be none of these cases. It is disgrace for one to have this disease, but often the dis grace does not belong to the victim or family. but to some neighboring nuis- ance. The mortality in diphtheria has dropped wonderfully since the intro- duction of antitoxin. from 25 per cent. CT still. for these are not very. recent figures. Very few cases of diphtheria would be lost if seen early by the physician. for the profession is thor ough1y alive to the benefits of anti toxin treatment.
 Tuberculosis: Five cases reported. Two of them only when death was very imminent. There ought not to be such delay and it is unnecessary if the doctor called would take a little pains to find out if tho previous attendant had sent in a notice to the Health Off, ficer. The attending physician should not take it for granted that some of the previous attendants have reported the case.
 Nuisances: Six nufsances were re- ported and investigated. All of them were promptly abated upon receipt of legal notice and demand for abatement.
 Inspection of schoolhouses and pub lie buildings: This duty was attend ed to and the conditions found were generally very satisfactory. Children school in clean, sanitary building through their early years can not but be impressed by their sur and learn to desire the same in their homes.
