5, ¢ The American Excess 0f Good Livin The pal .Cluse of the Great Pre- valegce of Indigestion and Dyspepsia A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Sent Free. Man inhabiss every part of the globe where external influences can be suc- cessfully resisted. Food is an import— ant element in effecting this, and na- ture has provided for it accordingly. The colder the climate the more ani- mal food and oily substances are re- quired; the warmer a preponderance of vegetables and fruits is necessary in one's diet. The whale-blubber of the fur-clad Bekimo, and the rice of the nude Afri- can, are as much necessities of local- ity as matters of choice. The same imdications exist in civilization. Thus, the diet in America and England is essentially different from that in Italy, Epain and Egypt. The effects of universal communi- cation are nowhere more obvious than on the luxurious table. To furnish the refined cuisine, ail climates, both =ea and land, are laid under contribu- tion, and the stomach is expected to digest, without assistance everything that is put into it. Combining to- mether such varied products, and the neglect of the relation between clim- ate and foods, are very active causes of dyspepsia. ‘The heavy substantial dishes of this climate acecord badly with the ther— mometer at ninety degrees; and an inflexibility in regulating the kind and . quantity of food is « cause of a large proportion of the ill health and stom- ach froubles among the English and Americans. Thousands of people who have suf- fered from stomach troubles, and a general ill-health resulting therefrom, because of a badly regulated diety and the imgesting of an excessive amount of food at the table, have obtained speedy and permanent relief By means of a simple expedient—that of using one or two of STUART'S DYSPEP- 8IA TABLETS after each meal, or whenever any of the well-known symptoms of indigestion are present. These powerful digestive tablets contain every element that exists in the stomach to digest the food, and in the exact proportion as found therein. They take the place of the natural digestive juices when the latter are deficient in quality or quantity, and do their work for them, removing the ndigestion by digesting the food, and resting, strengthening and purifying the digestive tract. There is no other digestive remedy en the market which has been found equal to Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets; none which is so rapidly and power— - fully efficlent, or which removes dis- eomfort, banishes stomach-pain, and relieves and cures all of the symptoms of dvspepsia and indigestion in so thorough and pleasant a manner as these marvelous little tablets, a single grain of which is capable of digesting 3,000 grains of any kind of food. All persons who are annoyed with stomach troubles of any kind, should use Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, which will remove such troubles in a very short time.

John & Geo. H. Biss, JEWELERS. ~ CHANGE IN ADDRISS. DR. N. GILBERT GRAY, fermerly at Hodge's Stable, is now io- eated in rear of No. 8 Franklin square Tel 574 may1%d Captain Jokh Mason wha - The military unit in the Connecticut colony from 1638 until the beginning of the Revolutionary war' was the train-band, performing the functions of the national guard company of the present time. The first trainband in the colony was commanded by Capt. John Mason and comprised forty men enrolléd from Hartford, Windsor an ‘Wethersfield for the Pequot war. It was a - sturdy war organization and tendered a great service in extirpating the Pequots. Captain Mason was the prototype of Israel Putnam in courage, energy and leadership, and was the founder of Norwich. ” The ancient trainband was founded for .military service in most of the towns in the colony, and was fostered by the civil authorities. Exemptions from the service, including watchings, training and poll tax, were granted on the certificates of medical practition ers. Gershom Bulkeley, Daniel Hooker and Thomas Hooker, all' medical prac- titioners, gave a certificate of infirmi- ty John Howard of Wethersfield Sept. 21, 1711, and he was freed from watching, training and poll tax. The certificate was accepted by both houses of the general court and the exemption was authorized. The document, which is in the possession of the state libra- ry, is in the handwriting of Dr. Bulke- ley. Peter Pratt. Peter Pratt, who was the king’s at- torney in Hartford, petitioned the gen- ergl court May 27, 1723, for exemption from training, which came during the term ‘of the court, when he was at- tending to ‘“the Kking’s business,” and was fined for not training. He had served as a clerk in the expedition with northern savages, contracting sickness, which lasted five years and cost him hundreds of pounds from his estate. He asked in his petition “if it was compatible with his office to ‘lugg’ about the streets on his left shoulder a musket of six or seven foot barrel for five days in a year and a knapsack of law books under his ‘contrary’ arms?” The general court took up the case with more or less sympathsg and freed Mr. Pratt from the burdensome trials, while he was king’s attorney. Thomas Kimberly was clerk in the lower house and certifled that the ex- emption had been granted. Mixup at Saybrook. Samuel Jones and John Pratt of Saybrook memorialized Gov. John ‘Winthrop and members of the general court Oct. 10, 1698, stating that many of the Saybrook trainband had “lyst- ed” under the command of Lieut. John Clark as Ffort soldlers. (The spelling of “ffort” is dinteresting. In many 'cases words beginning with f had the double f formation.) Difficulties beset the Clark transaction in enlisting the Saybrook trainband men. The record in the controversy was given to his majesty’s honored and superior court of records in Hartford April 25, 1699. It appears that on April 3, 1698, the trainband at Saybrook had elected Samuel Jones captain and John Clark Heutenant. This election. occurred six months before the complaint was made concerning the enlistment of trainband men as Ffort soldiers. Wallingford Church Deacon.’ At the May session, 1725, a case came up, showing that a trainband of- ficer could not serve at the same time that he was a church deacon. The general court was informed that Lieut. Samuel Moss had been elected a dea- son in the church of "Wallingford and desired to be discharged from military service. Capt. Theopolus Yaill of the West Wallingford trainband conducted the election, filWng the vacancy .caused by the withdrawal of Deacon Moss. Thomas Mills was elected May 10, 1725. _The selection was confirmed by both houses of the general court. Men for Her Majesty’s Service. In May, 1702, an act was passed for the more speedy raising of men out of the trainbands for her majesty’s ser- vice. ‘A proportion of “Centinells” was to be drawn out of each band, making up the quota that was needed. On June 19, 1711, a quota of 360 effective men was authorized by the general court. The. trainbands in the Con- necticut colony furnished large num- bers of men for military duty during the French and Indian wars. Matthew Griswold of Lyme. In 1678 election troubles were ex- perienced by the trainband in Lyme.

There had been a vote by the members, which proved to be dneffective. By advice of the gen- eral court the company' proceeded to the choice after a sermon by the Moses Noyes. Some were in favon of Joseph Peck for the office, but Abra- ham Brownson was -chosen. «Thirty- two men stated that Brownson and Peck had an equality of votes. Mat- thew Griswold was on a journey “into the bay” at the time of the election and was deprived of his vote. On re- turning home the men urged him to state, under his hand; how he would have voted if he had been present. He informed them that he should - have voted for hjs brother-in-law; Abral Brownson. Walter Davis, who was also on a_ journey at the same time with Matthew Griswold, made an affi- davit that he would haye voted for Mr. Brownson had he been’ present -at the election. The affidavit of Davis is signed by his mark.. The Rev. Mr. Noyes testified that Brownson was elected. Captain Bishop’s Removal. In 1716 Captain Bishop of the East Guilford trainband removed from that place to the town of Coventry, leaving a vacancy in the company. By virtue of an order from Governor Saltonstall and the major of the New Haven county regiment, bearing date of May 25, 1716, the vacancy was filled. Lieut, Meigs was made captain. Tiromas Cruttendon was eclected lieutenant and John Scran- ton ensign. Benjamin Strong was clerk of the trainband and reported the pro- ceedings to the general court, which confirmed the nominations, James Wadsworth of Durham was captain of the trainband in that town in 1716. He became clerk of e house of representatives in May, 1717. On the last of May, 1716, he led the trainband to an election, which resuilt- ed in the choice of Henry Crane as captain. It fell to the lot of Clerk ‘Wadsworth of the house to report the election of Captain Crane, which was confirmed by the general court. The general court of 1714 was. in- formed officially of the election of Dr. John Sabin as captain of the Pomfret traeinband. Philemon Chandler was elected lieutenant and Leicester Gros- venor ensign. Chandler was clerk of the trainband in 1710 and became cap- tain May 1, 1728. Govrnor Talcott Reviled. The second company or trainband of Stonington was carried to a high pitch of excitement on account of abu- sive and objectionable language against Governor Joseph Talcott,which was used May 22, 1726. Governr Trum- bull was elected in 1725 and held, the governorship 25 years. The offensive language was used by Captain Eph- raim Minor of the trainband and was reprehensible from every military point of view. On July 20, 1727, Wil- liami Denison made oath before Nathan Chesebrough, justice of the peace, that he had heard Captain Ephraim Minor use the language that was alleged. Eb- enezer Billings also swore that he had | heard the language used against Gov- ernor Talcott. There is nothing in the records showing that Captain Minor was dismissed from the service. In 1729 Sergeant William Avery was elected lieutenant of the traigband and Thomas Minor was made ensign. Not Always Plain Sailing. It was not always plain sailing in the general court, which had a way of re- fusing confirmations of trainband nominations that was surprising. One of the curious cases was that of the Saybrook trainbamd in 1716. Captain Samuel Willard of this company died | January 19, 1716, The election of a successor was called for October 4. On | that date William Pratt was chosen captain and Nathaniel Pratt lieuten- ant. Samuel Pratt was clerk of the company and notified Governor Salton- stall, who ‘was at the session of the general court in New Haven, concern- ing the proceeding. “Negatived in the lower house” was the endorsement. “Negatived” was a frost. New Haven “Trained’ Band. October 9, 1653, Thomas Kimberly notified the general court, then in ses- sion at New Haven, that the soldiers of the “trained” band of w Haven elected on the 8th of that month Moses | Mansfield captain and Sergeant Abra- | ham Dickerman lieutenant. May 11, 1656, the band elected” Daniel Sherman ensign. The Lebanon trainband elected John Mason captain, May 12, 1702. Jeremjah | Fitch _was elected lieutenant and Jo- seph Bradford ensign. These selections were confirmed by the general court. Nearby Elections. f Thomas Holcomb was elected captain | of the Simsbury trainband November !6, 1713, and was confirmed by both | houses. John Ellsworth was elected { lieutenant of the trainband on the east | side of the great river in Windsor, May 118 1713, The cletk of the company was | “Will” Woolcott. The election receiv- jed the endorsement of the. general court. | The Newington trainband was led to | an election of officers by Captain Thom | as Wells of Wethersfield, October 12, 1726. John Camp was elected captain, | mphrmm Deming lieutenant and Rich- ard Boardman ensign. This election | was ordered July 12, 1726, and the offi- i cers were confirmed at the October ses- sion. I Charges of Powder and Ball. Corporals Nathan Loomis and Re- { turn Strong were ordered September 4, {1703, to warn the troopers in their town | to appear in Hartford Friday morning | next at 8 o’clock with long and short {arms completely fitted and appointed | with three charges of powder and ball to each firelock to attend the trains of | & tropping day. i Guard Mount on the Lord’s Day. !
