TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black Draught.

Rossville, Gains. Kate Lee Able, Of
this place, writes: "My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he TO-
lued himself with piece of heavy I'M.
chinery, across the abdomen. He was
80 sore he could not bear TO press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he
weighed ITO lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and 1t looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
i two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol-
EN- terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.

MEAT CAUSE Of
y KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Q glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every day
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. Tnis
famous salts is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
80 1t no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
JuTes and makes a delightful efervescent
Whitewater drink

TWO AUTOS DAMAGED
7. r. Swans Car Damaged in Col
lision at Barre Sunday

Two automobiles, one Buick own
ed and driven by J. r. Swan of st.
Johnsbury and the other an Overland
driven by Batista Fumagalli of Barre
locked wheels Sunday while making
a bad turn just north of North Mont
pelier.
AS the road is very sandy at this
point and the air was filled with dust
it was impossible for the drivers to
see each other soon enough to avert
the collision. Mr.. Fumagalli's son,
who was riding in the front seat with
his father, was precipitated through
the windshield and landed in the road
unhurt.
Both cars were damaged consider
ably, the Buick car sustaining a bent
steering gear, broken spring and a
badly damaged front mudguard. The
car driven by Mr. Fumagalli also had
the steering gear bent, front mud
guard jammed considerably, one
light broken and the radiator twisted
from it's position.
Both cars were brought to Arnholm
& Dunbar's service station of Barre
by wrecking cars, since neither of
them was capable of making further
progress on its own power.

WARNS FARMERS
THAT MILK MUST
Be KEPT COOL

Inspectors from Boston have been
looking over the local daries and
making q careful inspection of the
handling of milk in this territory.
While the inspectors found that the
milk in almost every instance was be-
ing handled with great care as to
healthful conditions they had to is
sue warnings to a number of farmers
in regarding to the cooling of milk.
The following letter has been sent
to a number of Nortern Vermont
creameries with the idea that the
creameries will warn the farmers of
the care which must be taken in
handling milk delivered to them. The
letter follows:
III desire to call your attention to
Section 4, Article III, of the Health
Department regulations, which re-
quires that:
GAIL milk produced for the pur-
pose of sale shall be cooled as soon
as it is drawn from the cow.
81 also wish to direct your notice
to SectionI, Article vi, which pro-
hibits the possession or custody with
intent to sell of any milk, skinned
or cream which has temperature
higher than fifty degrees Fahren-
heit.
at is therefore incumbent upon you
to sec that the milk and cream that
you purchase and have in your pos
session to bring into the City of
Boston complies with these require
mcnts. During the coming year, as
inspectors of the Health Department
visit the farms supplying you with
milk and cream, and find these pro-
ducts not being cooled in accordance
with these regulations, we shall pro-
hibit the bringing of such improper
ly cooled milk and cream into the
City of Boston.
Very truly yours,
JAMES o. JORDAN,
Inspector of Milk.
