For Constipation
CONSTIPATION not only causes
the generation of poisons, which
are carried through the system by the
blood and attack it from within, but also
by thus lowering the general stamina
makes the weakened system an easier
prey to harmful germs from without.
Nujol works on an entirely new principle.-
Without forcing or irritating, it
softens the food waste. Jhh enables the
many tiny muscles in the intestines, con
tracting and expanding in their normal
way. to saueeze the
food waste along and
out of the system.
It is absolutely
harmless and
pleasant to take.
Try it.

NEWBURY
A Tribute to Robert Meserve, Who
Died July 16.
By the death of Robert Meserve,
the town has lost a citizen of ster
ling wrth, who was connected with
it during his entire life. He was the
third and lust aurvivor of the six chil
dren of William Hnd Susan ( (Thomp
son) Meserve, and was born January
Kith, 1830, on Lcishtim hill, in a house
not now standing. Later the family
lived on the place now owned by Clark
Holmes. Here the father died in 1851.
The mother wag in frail health, and
homes were made for the children in
kind families. Robert found a place
in that of Deacon Freeman Keyea,
where he attended the district school
and Newbury seminary. As a youth he
was faithful and industrious and, ai
he grew older, he was gradually in
trusted with ,the management of the
farm.
When the Civil war broke out, lis
was one of the first to enlist. from
Newbury, in the Bradford guards,
which formed Co. U of the 1st Vermont
volunteers, serving three months, being
mustered out August 15, 1861. This
company had part in the engagement
of Big Bethef, the first battle of the
wa,r. Of this company, he was the
last survivor in Newbury. His second
Kervice was a sergeant of Co. H., 12th
Vermont, 1K12-'.1. He was first lieu
tenant of a company of militia, which
existed for some years after the war.
His brother, Amos, next older than
himself, enlisted in Co. C, 3rd Ver
mont, and was killed in a skirmish at
Lewisville, Va., September 11, 1801.
He wan the first aoldier' from Ver
mont killed in battle, and the only one
from Newbury, w'hose remains were
brought home for burial.
Mr. Meserve had charge during sev
eral years of the farm of Deacon Free
man Keyes in Newbury and later of
the Henry Keyes farm in Haverhill,
one of the largest in New Hampshire.
Jle was a faithful husband and thing
prospered under his hands. In 1888
he returnedto Newbury and bought
the Colonel Jacob farm, where his
ison, Milo, lives. For some years, being
infirm, he had spent his time in the
families of his son, enjoying a peace
ful and honored old age.
He married in 1872. Margaret,
daughter of Andrew and Margaret
((ialbraithi Dunnett, a young woman
of noble Scotch characteristics. She
died in 18!I0, and he married in 1804
o Miss Farrar, who lived only a few
years. By the first marriage, there
were three sons, William A., a lawjer
'in Nebraska. Frank and Milo of New
bury, and a daughter, Nettie, who died
in childhood. His three sons were with
him in his last days. He is also sur
vived by four grandchildren.
Mr. Meserve was a modest, retiring
man of excellent judgment and kind
ways, a man who knew his own mind
and was well informed; a wise and dis
criminating reader, but who never held
o- desired public office. During his en
tire life, till the infirmities of age pre
vented, he was n regular attendant of
the Congregational church of Newbury.
His death, on the morning of the
1 6th. was caused by general failure of
the Vtal powers. The funeral serv
ices, at the house of his son, Frank,
were attended by a large concourse of
pcple, and were conducted by Rev.
Mr. Ives, assisted by Rev. Mr. Brock.
He was a member M Washburn post.
No. 17, and 13 veterans of the Civil
war attended the services.
