Old Soldier Missing.
Charles Hoyt, an old soldier who had

Scott, of East Norwalk, the past two
years, has mysteriously disappeared,-
and friends are manifestinr considel-
able anxiety over his disappearance.
He recently received his pension but
failed to remunerate his landlady be-
fore he suddenly disappeared, he hav-
ing previously, however, announced
his intention of going to the Soldiers
Home. But it is not learned that he
carried out such expressed intention.
Some incline to the belief that he
has met with foul play as he is thought
to have had considerable money with
him.

ing of the invention. It was a thor-
oughly serious affair.
The-tests were made at the Chicago
College of Surgical Dentistry. They
were conducted by Dr. L. Borland and
Lieutenant Sarnecki, of the Austria:
Army, a friend of the inventor. The
latter, Who was present, is Brother
Casimar Zaglan, a lay member of a
religious order. He urges the adoption
of his invention in the interests of
humanity. Seven doctors were pres-
ent, and also the representatives of the
Humane Society, as an experiment was
to be made on a live dog.
The progress of making this is kept
secret. It looks like a kind of silk
cloth b1 aid and is about half an inch
in thickness.
The cloth was tried on the dog. A
,cloak of ordinary cloth was wrapped
‘ around him, and a shield of the bul-
let-proof material was tied on one
side.
Lieutenant Sarnecki fired a .38 cali-
bre revolver at him and hit the shield
fair and square. The dog wagged his
tail to indicate that nothing unpleas‘
ant had occurred.
The ordinary cloth was then re-
moved and the shield tied to his side.
A .44 calibre was fired at him. The
shock staggered him and he whimper-
ed somewhat. When examined he was
found to be quite sound. Probably he
was slightly bruised—New York Jour-

Although essential to the manu-
facturer and tovtrade, spruce trees are
. of surprisingly small value as they
stand in the forest. A writer in The
Paper Mill says that there are be-
tween four and six hundred spruce
trees on an acre. of ground, such as in
various parts ofNew England would
be worth between $5 and $12 per acre.
Taking 400 trees to the acre as a
basis of calculation, it is shown
that they would be worth only 2 or
3 cents each. It is hard to realize how
cheaply nature does itswork in grow—

bermen pays about $2.50 per thousand

twelve trees on the average in the ’
forest, to make this thousand feet, or
a trifle over 20 cents a. tree. The cut—

spruce trees will average from 40 to

The difference between these pills and all other medicines is
told 1n the following statement of facts:
lst. They have been In active demand in the markets of the world since 1770.
or for nearly one hundred and thirty years.
2d. They are purely vegetable, and are made of the purest and highest
class drugs obtainable.
3d. They are kept for two years in our Storehouses after being made. and
no pills are sold until they are Two YEARS old. This allows them to
become thoroughly mellowed and makes of them the very best
and safest cathartic medicine that it is possib‘e to procure.
4th. They never become inured to the system; that is, the same dose
will always produce the same efl’ect. This cannot truthfully be said
of any other medicine.
There are others who claim
it, but
demonstrations show it to be true only of BRANDRETH’S PILLS.
5th. They never produce griping or pain unless the stomach is in a very
acid condition. and then only if
the dose is a large one. In doses of
one or two pills they never cause pain or other inconvenience.
6th. One pill taken after a heavy meal will relieve distress immediately.
71h. BRANDRE'I 11's PILLS are composed one-third 6f the best extract of sarsa-
pari lla that can be made It Is highly concentrated and it makes of these
pills the best blood purifiers that you can get, one 25-cent box con-
taining more of the active blood- -purifying principle of sarsaparilla‘
than a dollar' 5 worth of any liquid prepalation in the market.
8th. One or two, taken every night. will cure rheumatism in almost every
instance.
9th. They are a pOSItive and effective remedy for constipation and for all the
long list of ills that follow in its wake—such as dyspepsia, dizziness,
drowsiness, coated tongue, foul breath, headache, pain in the stomach,
etc.
10th.
Take one or two pills cVery night—one is usually enough—and
be certain that a cure w' ll follow.
They are the best complexion pills. After you have taken them for a.
few nights, your skin will assume a wholesome, healthful color, your
eye a brilliant lustre, and sallowness and pimples will disappear.
11th. BRANDRE’I‘H s PILLS NEVER injures-you are always in better health
after taking a dose—they are the safest medicine to give children and
women in delicate health One pill 18 usually suflicienc.
12th.
No medicine' IS made uitl: such infinite care as BRANDRETH’S PILLS
—no medicine but BRANDRETH' s PILLS is kept for TWO YEARS before
they are boxed to be sold.
13th. Except 1n sudden and acute sickness, when the dose should be from
four to eioht pills. the best results are obtained by taking one or tho
pills every night for a week or two. They act on the liver and leave
that organ in a perfectly healthy state, and when your. liver is right
your blood‘ is pure, and you are well.
Don't bully your. liver with
powerful medicine, but coax it with BRANDRETH’S PILLS.
14th. BRANDRETH’S PILLS are sold throughout the world. with and without
sugar coating. They never fail to do their work.
