Burton May Not Recover. Suffering from an aliment which surgical skill has been unable to de- fine, J. Leslie Burton of East Main street, lies unconscious in the Hart- ford hospital, whére he has been a patient for nearly a week, and accord- ing to reports from that institution is liable to die at any time. Mr. Bur- ton’s case has baffled all physicians who have examined him, and even the use of the X-ray and other inventions of medical science have failed to show the source of his trouble. Surgeons believe he is suffering from an ab- cess on the brain or on one of his lunge. the trouble being hidden in such fashion that they cannot locate it. They admit their inability to make a positive diagnosis and they hold out little hope for his recovery. Mr. Burton's trouble is thought to have had its origin in the injuries which hg sustained in an automoble accident a few weeks.ago.

What a glorious condition to attain, and yet, how very easy it.is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split- ting headache, stufty from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of .the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal péisonous stag- nant matter. v Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, befors breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspooriful of limestone phosphate in it to - wash from the stomach, liver and bdwels the previ- ous day's indigestible.waste, sour bile and poisonous toxing; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully in- vigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gased, - waste and acidity and gives one a splendid ap- petite for breakfast: While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. The ‘millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble; others who fiave sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject ek bathing before 17, . Specialists m Goods ‘HARTFORD i and “Frolaget” Corsets Are .

A few days later his mind began to cloud, however, and even- tually he lost his reason. At the hos. pital he is managed with considerable difficulty.

Everything known to medical science has been tried in an effort to save him but the physicians have met with but little success in attempting to diag- nose his trouble.

Planning to organize a Plainville troop of Boy Scouts Harry Bonney has issued a call for a meeting of the boys in the town to be held this evening at 8 o'clock In the parish house of the Church of Our Saviour. Dwight Skinner, representing the Boy Scouts of New Britain, will be present with a squad from his troop, to explain what has been accomplished in the neigh- boring ecity. Plainville has been slow in follow- ing the lead of citles in organizing Boy Scout organizations.
