In his opening words President Rog- ers spoke of the interest shown in the society’s meetings by the general*pub- lie, as he had beep asked where tick- ets might be obtained for this meeting, and he emphasized the point that all were welcome to these meetings wheth- er members of the historical society or not. ‘The address of welcome was from Principal H. A Tirrell of the Norwich Free Academy, who spoke briefly of the value of the society and the in- creasing interest in local historical sub- jects, praising President Rogers for his efficient arrangement of the programme | and inviting. the society to hold many future meetings at the Peck library. President Rogers stated that George S. Palmer, who had been expected to give the response, had been prevented from attending. He called attention to the catalogue of Mr. Palmer’s colonial antiques which had been sent out with the programmes of the meetings. Pres- ident Rogers introduced Rey. Charles R.

A Trial Package of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets Sent Free. 1 | The Abbe Spallanzani was the first | scientist to. study systematically the | chemical powers of the gastric juice, ! 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. Beaumont was an army surgeon, i located at #n 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. Sclence also knows what the gastric juices are and how to make them best for the system. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, thanks to the poor army surgeon and Alexis 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- duced in concentrated form, and by tremendous power compressed into a tablet. These wonderful little digest- ors are known all over America and Canada.

Stuart Co., 150 Stuart together in historical and other li His pleasing words met with much ap- plause. ~ - 3 President Rogers then introduced -Chief Justice Baldwin for his pa- r upon The Seal of Connecticut, P . which was an exhaustive and scholarly review of all the facts relating to the state’ great seal, of which he said there had really been three in the hjstory of the colony and the state. scribed the pai ourt importance at- tached to the seal in apcient times, eyen being more authentic than the signature of an individual. Tracing the geal back to its origin, brought Chief Justice Baldwin back to the sub- ject of the Warwick patent, which was recently treated by Forrest Morgan, -assistant librarian " in ‘the Watkinson iibrary, Hartford, in_a paper recently read before the Hartford Historical so- clety. X The Seal of Connecticut. The speaker reminded his hearers that it was Charles I. who named New England, and said that the only direct evidence of the Warwick patent, under which the Saybrook patentees got their right to the domain now the state of Connecticut, is a copy of the patent. Mr. Morgan in his paper took the stand that the whole matter of the patent was a hoax and that it never existed. Chief = Justice Baldwin upheld the existence of the patent. His theory of the history of the patent, which was supported by numerous references to its existence made by early writers, was an original'one, It was his theory that the Earl of Warwick got - the patent about 1630.. The earl was :u powerful member of the council of England at the time and as late as 1632 succeeded in keeping to himself the necessary power by sedl to convey the rights to himself which were gon- veved in the patent. It was shown by Judge Baldwin that the récipients of the benefits of the patent ‘were rela— tives of the earl and he believed that the earl had the rights given to him by the council in . order that' he might convey them to his relatives. One rea- son why it was readily possible for him to effect the transfer to himself was the nature of the council. It was not always well attended, and 'it is known that sometimes not’ more than two members attended. It is likely that meetings might have been held at which the earl himself was the only one present. One member in the lack of others would conastitute-a quorum. The family of the earl soon became extinct and that reason may explain why there now exists only a copy of the copy of the patent. One thing is certain, and that is that it was out of the rights belonging to the Saybrook patentees that the state of Connecticut had its seal. It was given to the colony in 1644 by Colonel Fenwick ©of Saybrook, whose rights camé from the Warwick patent. The mere fact that the Saybrook patentees made the seal showed that they had the right to have one, for the right was not denied by rles 1. - There was not much ado made by the colonists when the seal was received, but they held on t6 it and the seal was first used by Governor Hopkins in 1647, ‘When the colony’s charter was 0b- tained in 1662 the seal was kept in use. There were three periods in - the seal's history, 1644, 1711 and 1784. In 1644 it was received from the Say- brook patentee. It then bore 15 grape- vines and above was a hand reaching from above, and below the hand was'| the motto “Qui Transtulit Sustinet.” The use of the grapevine was account- ed for the great impression made upon early settlers by the wild grape- vines of America. No entirely satis- factory reason for the number 15 could be given. It possibly had a symbolical meaning; and it may have had no meaning. When Governor Andrus camn to rule over Connecticut the seal was probably destroyed, but the design was continued and no great change was made, although the new seal coptained an error in the use of the Latin. 4 In 1711 the number of vines was re- duced to three. This number was be- lieved by Judge Baldwin to signify the three communities of which the colony was formed, the Connecticut .river community with Hartford as a center, the region of the Warwick patentees with Saybrook as a center, and New Haven. The die which was made was inferior to that made by the Saybrook patentees, who had theirs made in London. The hand was placed in a Stiff attitude. In 1784 the seal took the form sub- stantially the same as that now in use. The han removed. The seal it- self, which was made in 1784, staid .

Only one thing in the seal has remained the same since the days of the Saybrook patentees, and that is the words of the motto, which, however, have been changed a little in their arrangement for the sake of better Latin. It is a significant fact that these words ex- pressing the trust in the sustaining power of God have always been pre- served. There was much appleuse for Judge Baldwin’s valuable paper. Ex-Governor Waller. At the suggestion of President Rog- ers a rising vote of thanks was given to Chief Justice Baldwin. The presi- dent then called upon ex-Governor Waller, who responded in his usuai crisp and entertaining way. Express- ing appreciation of the many curious things about the seal shown by the paper, he went on to say that it was even more curious how a legal super- stition had been observed about the seal, and it had to be put on legal papers in Connecticut or else they were no deed. In fact, .. is not the seal any longer, only a remnant of it, for if you put the L. S. on, that little remnant of the seal will do. Why not do away with this foolish thing alto- gether, or else have a seal that is as ornate as a woman'’s bonnet. He asked why this meeting could not have the honor of making the beginning of do- ing away with this foolish tag end of the seal. Ex-Mayor Tinker of New London was also called upon. and responded briefly, commending the paper that he had listened to, and béstowing consid- erable praise upon President Rogers as about the only man in New London who had done anythjng to put the so- ciety in a glnce of prominence, but what he had done had been very ef- fectively done and had proved he was the right man in the right place. Made Honorary Member. Chairman Jonathan Trumbull of the committee of arrangements made the motion that Chlef Justice Baldwin should be elected an honorary member of the society In view of his contribu- tion to thelr meeting of the afternoon. Principal Tirrell seconded the motion, which was duly passed, and President Rogers welcom the new member with the assurance that he had all the qualifications for honorary member- ship as he lived outside the county and was distinguished for literary and his- torical work, ‘The session then adjourned, MORE HELP FOR THE RESERVOIR.
