RHEUMATISM GOES IF HOCD'S IS USED The genuine old reliable Hood’s Sarsaparilla correets the acid cond tion of the blood and builds up the whole system. It drives out rheuma- tism because it cleaunses the blood thoroughly. It has been success- fully used for forty years. For rheumatism, stomach and kidney troubles, general debility and all ills arising from impure blood, Hood’s has no equal. Get it from your nearest druggist today. CAPTAIN WILBUR BACK.

A former Norwich resident, who is interested in The Bulletin's stories of old-time Norwich shipping, is David Hale Fanning, president of the Royal Worcester (Mass.) Corset company, who is alert and vigorous at 85. Mr. Fanning writes to an acquaintance in Norwich: I was really glad of the clippings, because they show what a wonderful business Norwich did a hundred years ago. I well remember when the steam- boats came up there and the river was full of sloops and coal barges, and it was a_very lively place down around the wharf. The last time I was in Norwich I went down around the water front, and it almost looked like Sun- day—a vast difference from the old time when so many boats of various kinds came in. boats were made larger and had dif- ficulty in getting ta Allyns’ Point and then later at New London. I suppose this was all in_the interest of good business. But Norwich is not much of a seaport today. N - Hartford.—John F. Blake, democratic committeeman of West Hartford, has resicned in a letter to Town Chairman C. M. Gallup. Remedy Prescribed by Many Doctors Compound of Simple Laxative Herbs Proves Most Efficient Dr. W. A. Evans, writing for the Chicago Tribune, makes the assertion actically everyone, at some time “suffers from constipation. regardless of age or con- ion of stomach waste in the bowels is evidenced in various ways; bloat, eructation of foul stomach headache, langour, all indi- cate constipation, and call for prompt attention, not only to relieve the pres- ent discomfort but also to avoid possi- ble dise: that follows neglect of this important function. ! Harsh cathartics and violent purga- tives should not be employed, as thesc afford only temporary relief, while they serve to shock the entire system. A mild laxative such as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrdp Pepsin is far preferable and is now the remedy generally used and prescribed by many doctors. It is free from opiate or narcotic drugs, acts easily and pleasantly, without griping or other pain and is a safe, eifective family remedy. Mr. Chas. Schell, 132 rch St., Grenada, Miss, writes that he found relief himself by using Dr. Caldwell's MR. CHAS. SCHELL Syrup Pepsin and now keeps it on hand for family use. A bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin should have a place in every family medicine chest. A trial bottle can be obtained, free of charge, by writing to Dr. W. B. Cald- well, 454 Washington St., Monticello, Illinois. 0 It is true the steam-' ECHOES - FROM " for Whist—QOdd Fellows % for Membership. P2 3 ELKS.

NORWICH RIFLE ASSOCIATION. Considerable interest is being shown between the members of the Norwich Rifle club in their coming match with the Meriden Rifle club on March 7. This will be a club match in which all members of either club,. who are in good standing, will compete and is expected to be a hotly contested match. All shooting will be:done at 75 feet, each man shooting 10 shots, 5 prone and 6 offhand on the standard Civil- jan club targets, the bullseye being 8-8 inch in diameter. The Meriden club will do all of their shooting offhand. The Meriden club has members that are considered the best shots in the country. The Norwich ciub hope to offset this by 'showing a high ave- rage per man, and the fact that no picked teams from the clubs will shoot, should give the Norwich club an excellent chance to win out.
