sERGT. MAJOR BARBOUR DIES
 SEnnENrY IN rIrE N-rc n

Sergeant Major Allen S. Barbour, for the past 20 years armorer at the state armory on Mckinley avenue died about midnight Tuesday at his home No ? Lincoln court following an attack of heart trouble with which he had been troubled for the past few years Mir Barbour had attended to his duties at the armory until Sunday when he was forced to give up his work and was con- fined to his bed. Last week was a stren- uous week at the armory, there being three special events that caused much work for Mir. Barbour and it is probable that he overworked and brought on the heart attack which resulted in his death.
 He was born in New York state on June Is, 1847, coming to live in Norwich when a small child. He attended the To- cal schools and upon graduating entered the employ of the Hopkins and Aliens Arms Co.,, with which he remained for 30 years. On April 3, 1870, he WIS married to Emily A. Howard, who died two months ago on Aug. 2nd. In 1901. MT. Barbour was appointed arnorer of the state armory with the rank of sergeant major. For twenty years he served faith fully in this capacity and was always a faworite with those that had occasion to be at the arnory both in the connection with the military and otherwise When the Norwich and New Britain boys were stationed at the aruory during the late war Sergeant Barbour made many warm friends by his kindness and his cheerful and sunny presence about the place will be sadly missed.
 Fraternally MT. Barbour was a charter member of Shetucket lodge, No. 27, l. o. o. F., and during his membership had served in the various offices of the lodge. He was a member of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church and at one time was chorister and connected with choir for 25 years. He was also water inspector for two years while the late Charles F. Thayer was mayor.
 Mir. Barbour is survived by an only | daughter, Miss Charlotte c. Barbour who has made her home with her father. He also leaves two nieces Joseph and Ma | bel Rogers of Norwich Town.

Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence
 Over Rheumatism

Mir James H. Allen suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work.
 He finally decided. after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the ac- cumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body.
 With this idea in mind, he consulted physicians, made experiments and final- ly compounded prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system.
 He freely gave his discovery to others who took 1t. with what might be called marvellous success. After years of urging. he decided to let suf- @erers everywhere know about his dis covery through the newspapers. Lee & Osgood Company has been appointed agents fer Allearhu in this vicinity with the understanding that they will freely return the purchase money to all who 'state they received no benefit
