Watchingasiomach Digest Food Was the Means Whereby Science Made Possible the Cure of Dyspepsia. A Trial Package of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets Sent- Free. The Abbe Spallanzani was the first scientist to study systematically the powers of the gastric julce, but it was by the careful and convinc- ing experiments of Beaumont that the foundation of our exact knowledge of its_composition and action was laid. Beaumoni was an army surgeon, located at an obscure military post in Michigan, while it was yet a territory, and was called upon to treat a gun shot wound of the stomach in a Cana- dian ~ voyageur—Alexis St. Martin. When the wound healed a permanent opening was left by means of which food could be placed in the stomach and gastric juice taken from it. Beaumont. made scientific experi- ments with his crude means and wrote a_ book, which, today is recognized among the classics of physiology. Beaumont blazed the way for other scientists so that today medicine knows what the stomach does with food and what food does to the stom- ach. - Science also knows what the gastric julces are and how to make them best for the system. Stpart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, to the poor arm rgeon and Ale St. Martin, give man a means of di- gesting food, replenishing the exhaust- ed juices, soothing the nerves and cor- recting dyspeptic conditions of the stomach. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are nat— ural fruit and vegetable essences re- duceq in concentrated form, and by tremendous. power compressed into a tablet. These wonderful little digest- ors are known all over America and Canada. Full meals have been di- gested by them in glass tubes and they are sold by every druggist. Physicians to the number of 40,000 use them. They are meritorious and powerful.

Prospects of milder weather added a stimulus to the construction work st the new paper mill at Montville and all the bricklayers that can be aiilized have been set to work. The cicer walls, with the exception of the south and east, are up above the second story, and a _considerable amount of the inner walls has been built. Along the west side of the building, facing the Central Vermont railroad, ars about thirty windows, Insuring a well lighted room. In the main buildiiz a large quantity of the structural iron work has been erected and along the interior of the room tracks have h3sn laid and trucks are ready for use to haul heavy material here and there s required. The plant is to be equipped with the most modern labor saving devices, so that there will be 2 minimum of heavy lifting_and ling for the employes. The Bigelow-Harriman Construction company will have a portion of the main building ready for its roof in a few weeks. When the roof is on part of the machinery ordered for the plant will be shipped and the shafting in- stalled as far as possible. The work on the new dam is prov- ing a little troublesome at present and the force of about thirty men is devot- ing its energies to keeping the stream of water out of the bottom of the crib. A new lot of timbers was driven on the lower side of the outlet on Monday and the workmen expect to have it tight enough soon to t all the leakage to be handled by the big pump. There is a big flow of water in the brook at present, which is handi- capping the work considerably.

Preached There During 118 Years. One of the 0ld Methodist churches in Conne church at West less few of the people who live in that know of the long list of people who have preached the good word ~ The church at West Thompson is an outgrowth of the services conducted in Pomfret under the direction of Rev. John Allen, who labored there during t;‘m winter.of 1792-93. During that time Perrin, who resided near Put-/ nam, was conv and opened his house for seryices. A class of six per- sons was formed in 1793, and he was appointed leader, which position he held for nearly sixty years. In 1793 another class was formed at West Thompson, led occasionally by Noah Perrin. Portraits of himself and wife have been placed in front of the original pulpit, where they now stand. Another remarkable ‘character was Capt. Jonathan Nichols, at whose house at West Thompson preaching was established as early as 1795. 1796, in an upper unfinished room of this house, which now standing near the church, the conference of New England met. This notable conference was held September 19-21, Bishop As- bury presiding. There were 30 preach- ers present and seven deacons and five elders were ordained. ‘West Thompson those years was included in the Pomfret circuit, which in. 1827 was changed to ‘West Thompson_circuit. The first Methodist church in Thompson was erected in 1797, a little east of where the church now stands. Rev. Daniel Ostrander preached the dedicatory sermon. 3 A missionary society in connection with this old church was organized in 1838. The present church edifice was built in 1841, and was dedibated July 5 by Joshua Souts, senior bishop of the Methodist church, It became the mother of 18 churches, including Dan- lelson, Putnam, Eastford, East Wood- stock, North .Grosvenordale, East ‘Thompson, Webster and Attawaugam ‘The ceniennial of the conference al- ready referred to was celebrated in the church, December 6, 1896. Great interest was' manifest by many per- sons assembling from these churches. Presiding Elder G. H. Bates delivered a most Interesting discourse. ‘Through the generous assistance of N. S. Johnson, Mrs. Chamberlain and Elijah Nichols, the church underwent repairs in 1892-93. The late J. W. Doane has rendered valuable assist- ance in the financial support of the church. J. N.
