r HIS FRIED DS DVERIDYED. I‘HE RECOVERY OF THE GALLANT GAP- TAIN ROGERS. JNE OF THE FIRST 0F CONNECTICUT’S SONS TO MARCH ON DIXIE. Iongratulations from Various Sources Showered on Him. Last week in our Boston correspond- ence, we printed some accounts of the won- ierful success of the noted Boston Poly- 'paths. The following from the Boston Sun- day Globe, we give, as it may be of interest to our readers :— FOXBORO, Oct. 15.-—The pretty cottage of Edwin Dixon on Chestnut street has been visited by a number of people the past week, who called to pay their respects to Captain Wm. Henry Rogers, a brother in- law of Mr. Dixon. Captain Rogers is a veteran of the late war, and known by Grand Army men throughout the United States. For years he was an invalid, but recently his health became almost miracu- lously restored. Hence his many visitors and sincere congratulations. His immediate friends are overjoyed at the complete trans- formation in his appearance. They find it -difliculty to believe that he is indeed the same man who only three years ago was given up by all the doctors. The captain has had a remarkable career. At the breaking out of the rebellion lie was living in Norwich, Ct. Possessed of a gen- uine patriotic spirit he enlisted in the First Connecticut Heavy Artillery. He served four years and five months, winning distin- ction on the field, and came home with a captain's shoulders strap—honors bravely won. Like other gallant fellows exposed to the influence of the southern climate, he con- tracted fever and ague, which at intervals after his discharge, caused him considerable annoyance. “But chills and fever were trivial,” lie . said to a reporter, “compared to the suffer- ing that I have since undergone. About the year 1870 I moved from Norwich to Iowa and secured a position as foreman in a big frame nianufactory. The work did not agree with me, for the dust in the factory seemed to stick in my throat. To make matters worse I caught cold. I suffered so finally that I threw up my position and went to New York. Soon I began to feel better and started west again. In Chicago I was taken sick and stayed in that city a year. I was soon a physical wreck almost, and could get no relief from the doctors. From Chicago I went to Colorado, and while there I paid Dr. Culbertson of Indian- apolis $100. He consoled me with the in- formation that I had better go to a hospital. I hated to go to a hospital and sought FURTHER MEDICAL ASSISTANCE although satisfied that Dr. Culbertson had done all he could. At length I couldn’t get a doctor to bother with me. So in the fall of 1881 I left (‘olorado for Washington, D. C. Already I was sufiering from bleeding from the lungs, frequently bleeding a quart a day. I was so week when I left Colorado that a friend had to accompany me to Wash- ington. In Washington Dr Roberts attend- ed me but only succeeded in rendering in, ordinary medical assistance. In 1882 I re- turned to Norwich, Conn. Dr. Carletone now deceased, examined me and recommen- ded that I go to Dr. Bowditch, Boylston street, Boston. Dr. Bowditch said I might live a year or two and gave me a letter to Dr. Carleton. “Dr. Carleton took my case for a year, and after calling in Drs. Sprague and Pad— dock, gave me up. The three physicians declared that I could not live over six months. One lung was wholly gone, .my liver was partly gone. I had fallen from 175 pounds to 119, was constantly spitting blood and other matter, had fearful night sweats, could eat nothing scarcely, and for two years had not slept in a bed. I couldn’t. As soon as I lay down I would begin to choke, and consequently had recourse to a rocking chair, where I got faint snatches of sleep. I could not walk up or down stairs.” - “You look like a new man now,” said the reporter. “How did you get your health back?” “Well, I had some grit, although I was a wreck. You know how a man must feel in my condition. I would clutch at anything. One day I heard of the Polypathic Institute who claimed to cure very diflicult chronic cases. I asked my brother to take me to them. The Institute was located at 2 E. Brookline street, Boston, and Iliad to be car— ried to the cais. At Boston I was carried from the depot to the Institute, and laid on a sofa. When the doctor (Dr. Hall, his name was,) saw me his face seemed to say to me this there was no hope. He called in two other doctors and they looked less hope- ful. At any rate they made an examin- ation, and two of them concluded I had come to late. The other Dr. Hall, resolved to see what he Could do for me and make what little blood there was in me tingle when he said, ’if I followed his directions he could cure me. Of course I WANTED TO BE CURED right off. But be told me I must give him three years to do it in, as my case was des- perate. _ For the first six months under his treat- ment I was worse, if anything. I gave him fits and declared he was like the rest of the profession. He calmly replied that I must wait, but at the end of a year I should be able to sleep, eat and walk. His words proved true. If anything, I was better than he predicted. He examined me again and at the end of the second year I was still bet- ter. Before the third year closed I could travel anywhere alone. Now I weigh 145 pounds, can easily Walk five miles at a stretch, and can eat all I can get. I forgot to state that this last doctor almost imme- diately after I went to him stopped my night sweats and at the end of the first year under his treatment I could sleep 10 hours without waking. In five months, and during the second winter that he treated me I gained 20 pounds. Now if that isn’t consumption cured, what is? Dr. Hall said to me: ‘I can’t bring back the lung and part of the liver that’s gone, but I’ll preserve what’s left.’ ” . “Have you any ailment at all, now ?” “Only a little witd my throat. Of course I’ve got to take care of myself. I was in Texas recently and the chills came on me, but went 011'. J The doctors say my throat will probably annoy me forever, but only in a trivial way.’ . “Where can thi Dr. Hall be found?” “He’s in Boston now with Dr. Brown at the Polypathic Institute, corner of Wash- ington and EastBrookline streets.” . The reporter who interviewed Captain Rogers called upon Dr. Hall at BostOn and was assured that the veteran soldier=had not overstated the case. “I consider his case, however,” said the doctor, “as not extraordinaryin our prac- tice. Nevertheless, it will serve as an illus- tration. We shall be glad at any time to give you further information concerning re- markable cases at this institution.” # NORVVALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13 1889. Some More Witchcraft Legend. ED. GAZEI‘TE:—It would seem that the people had as many methods to circum- vent the deviltries of the witches in the olden time as there are in this age patent nostrnnisto curc malaria, and about as effective. Aunt Molly had not abandoned all hope of getting rid of Aunt Sib’s visits. One of the sure remedies was this: If any animal was bcwnehed, and was mutilated, say, by cropping an ear or being other- wise lacerated, the witch would be wounded in the same way and place. One day one of the swine wasrunniug aimless- ly about, butting his head against the fences or any obstruction, squealing and falling, and behaving in a very unnatural manner. Bewitched, of course, (blind staggers). Aunt Molly saw her oppor- tunity, and she rallied the work-hands and had an ear cropped. The hog got well at once, of course, and Aunt Sib (lis- continued her visus to the Hollibird home- stead, andzforcver after wore wide tabs on her laps to hide the mutilated ear. The witches, however, continued their pranks in other neighborhoods, Josiah Marvin lived iiiahonse that was torn down by Charles Partrick, some years ago, to give place to a new one, not far from Cannon Station. Mr. Marvin refused the loan of his horse to Uncle Bill, and presently the horse was missing. Diligent search was made for it, but with no success. After two or three weeks Mr. Marvin went to the back of the barn and was surprised to hear a horse crunching hay. He looked through a crack and there was the horse. He had eaten a place large enough to turn around in and lay down. On care- fully examining the siding no signs could be found that the boards had been re- moved, and there was six or eight feet of solid haymow between the barn floor and the horse. “Witchcraft” and Uncle Bill, the conjuror. This circumstance was related me to when eleven years old by Captain Nathan Gilbert, whose name has honorable mention in Lewis & Co.’s His- tory of Fairficld County. He lived with his somin-luw, Major William Dudley, in the old tumble-down house just west of Cannons Station. Here allow a digression. The neighborhood now known as Cannons was called Pimpewaug, in fact the whole valley from the mouth of the glens, just below the station in Georgetown, to the cart bridge, about one mile south of Cannons Station, was called Pimpewaug, which, being translated, means “pleasant valley.” There are many persons living who remember the old shop in which the captain used to make and cobble shoes. I spent one winter with the family, and, after my lessons were learned, I often run in to spend a little time with the captain and he used to entertain me with witch and ghost stories until my hair-#meta- phoricllly—stood like porcupine quills. The captain, in order to assure me that it was a fact, said that he helped to get the horse from his retreat. The dear old saints of those days believed in ghosts and witches us firmly and surely as they be- lieved in the Bible story of the Witch of Endor, the \ten commandments, or even the Westminster catechism; and they were saints, the best the country afforded at-that time. One good effect this kind of fireside literature had on the minds of children was to keep them indoors after dark. Well, those scarecrow days passed away long ago; thanks to science and the spread of general intelligence. CENTENARIAN. “I would not live alway,” said the Psalmist inamoment of poetic rapture. “I would not either,” says Josh Billings, irreverently. So we say—but then while we do live, let us hold on to our health and spirits. The surest way to do this, is to lay in a supply of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup. Try it. A Sound Legal Opinion. E. Bainbridge, Munday Esq., County Atty., Clay Co., Tex. says: “Have used Electric Bitters with most happy results. My brother also was very low with mala- rial fever and jaundice, but was cured by timely use of this medicine. Am satis- fied Electric Bitters saved his life.” Mr. D. I. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave, Ky, adds a like testimony: rlc positively believes he would have died, had it not been for Electric Bitters. This great remedy will ward 011’, as well as cure, all malarial diseases, and for all kidney, liver and stomach disorders stands unequalled. Price 50c. and $1 at H. R. Hale’s.

Probably a large number of those who read this advertisement will say “another humbug, we will have nothing to do with it.” But before you utterly CONDEMN Let us appeal to your REASON Let us give you the history of this medicine. It was originally a prescription of a country physician with a large practice, across the water. One of those men who get to know certain things well, and he evidently knew COUGHS from their A B C. A patient of his coming to this country brought the prescription for family use, and it came to our attention. We found it good but knowing how much money could be tllirown away, unless it proved to be more t an GOOD we experimented with and tested it for over a year. We GAVE it away to everybody who would take it. We were more than convinced. Bequests came to us from all sides to put it on the market, and we have started it on a SUCCESSFUL CAREER. . We have only began to advertise it, and it is already placed in towns all over the Eastern and Middle States, and in some 10- calities in the West. Some people think that because a medicine is what they call PATENT it cannot be good. But is this not prejudice? Undoubtedly there are poor remedies Cheaply adver- tised, but in most cases do not Proprietary Articles, spring from prescriptions which have been foun EFFICIENT in private practice, and are they not com- pounded by brigbt men whose constant aim is to improve them? If our remedy was not what we claim, who would be the greater looser? YOU who only spend 25 cents, 50 cents or 75 cents for a bottle, and then throw it away or WE who pay ADVERTISING B [L LS that cost more than hundreds of bottles. No, the . SECRET is, we know we have a good thing, come to- stay, and that if you try it, it will become a STANDARD REMEDY in your home, and be recommended by you to your neighbors. Our SUCCESS will be in it firmly established b ' built up and founded on usmess, MERIT. We ask you then to lay aside all ~PREJUDICE for your own good, and try it. .Our remedy is compounded from eight distinct specifics and herbs, is pleasant to the taste,quick in its action and is absolutely HARMLESS. It does not check a con 11 merel f th - time, but heals the lungs.8 y or e Follow the directions closely, using If]: moderate doses, as long as there is irritation and always keep it well corked when not in. use.
