AN OLD PAPER
Dr. J. W. Hodges recently
showed the editor a copy of a
newspaper that was 111 years old.
It is the Ulster County Gazette,
published by Samuel Freer & Son,
at Kingston, Ulster county, New
York, January 4, 1800. The pa
per contains an account of the
death and a eulogy upon the life
of George Washington. It is a
quaint looking old paper, in mark
ed contrast with the papers of to
day. Following is an advertise
ment copied from its column :
Luther Anderson A Co. have this day
Been opening goods, both fresh and
gay
lie has received near every kind,
That you in any store can find;
And as I have purchased by the hale
1 am determined to retail.
For READY PAY a little lower
Than ever have been Indore.
1 with my brethen mean to live
But as for credit shall not give,
I would not live torouseyour passions,
For credit here is out of fashion.
My friends and buyers, one and all,
It will pay you well to give a call;
You always find me by my sign,
A few rods from the house Divine.

spite of doctors. Then that matchless
medicine, Electric Hitters, cured me. I
regained the to pounds I lost and now

Rheumatic
Pains
■My mother is a great suf
ferer from rheumatism, anti Dr.
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her.”
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Roycefield, N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
Dr. MileS’ Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri
tation which prevents sleep be
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu
able. \\ hen taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you T hey do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist, ^ake it
according to directions, and i£
