Commissioner Averill’'s Report Made/| For Past Two Years. The report of the commissioner on es of domestic animals, Herman | O. Awerill, has been submitted to the governor for the two years ending Sept. 30, 1912. It shows a total of 7,313 cat- | tle examined, 1,217 cattle condemned | and an average price of $11.84 per| i head allowed. Offices and traveling expenses amount to $1,654.09. To vet- erfnariang for services and expenses thepe was paid $4.262.22. | A_table showing the number of | cattle examined and the number con- | demned the past 18 years indicates a large increase. The report says: “It is very clearly shown by the foregoing tables that there has been a fairly constant increace in the num- ber of; tuberculous cattie condemned during the past 18 years in all seasons of the year and in all sectioms of the state. This great increace has of course largely increased the total amount allowed each year, but the av- erage Price paid per head has been | but consistaenly lowered from $15.27 in 1800 to/$11.17 during the past fiscal year.” The report deals at some length with hog cholera and makes recom- | mendations for its treatment. Con- cerning glanders the report says: “During the past fiscal year there were 99 animals affected with glanders or farcy destroyed, and in 1911 the number was 67. The veterinarians re- ported that in thelr practice they had destroyed 186 in the year 1911 and 260 in 1912. Many of the cases con- demned have been poor old worn out and nearly warthless horses that had been recently brought into Conneoti- c from large cities in adjoining tes were gianders and farcy have xisted for years. In 1511 the total number of dog tags dered by town clerks was 76,208, and 1912 the number was 74,486, The cipts were $3,880.55 and §3,705.06 spectfully. C. V. Trains Sent Over New Haven Tracks.

Rh®umatism comes from weak, In- active kidneys, that fail to filter from the blood the poisenous waste matter and uric aeid; and it is useless to rub on liniments er take ordinary remedies to relieve the pain. This only prolongs the misery and ecan't possibly cure you he only way to cure rheumatism is to remove the cause. The new dis- covery, Croxone, does this because it neuiralizes and dissolyes all the pois- onous substances and uric acid that lodge in the joints and muscles, to scratch and irritate and- eause rheu- matism, and cleans out and strength- ens the stopped-up, inactive -kidneys, so they can filter all the peison from the blood and drive it on and out of the system. Croxone is the mest wenderful medicine ever made for euring chronic rheumatism, kidney-troubles and blad- der disorders.. You will find it differ- ent from all other remedies. There Is s else on earth like it. It mat- ters not how old you are, or how long you have suffered, it is practically impossible to take it into the human system without results. You will find relief from the first few doses, and vou will be surprised how guickly all vour misery and suffering will end An original package of Croxone ts but a trifle at any first-class drug store, such as thati-of Lee & Osgood Co.
