Dr. Fred Crounse Leaves Altamont.

Dr. Frederic Crounse and family have rented apartments in the Wareham, Willet street, Albany, and are now moving. With their leaving, Altamont loses one of its most respected of families. Dr. “Fred,” as he is best known, was born in the old village of Knowersville and began practicing  here in 1894. During the past 22 years he has made an enviable reputation and is well known throughout the Helderbergs. He has also been prominent in civic affairs and foremost to support all village improvement.

Last spring Dr. Crounse disposed of his practice and, with his family, has been enjoying the summer in the Adirondacks. The best wishes of a host of friends go with the family to their new home.

NEW SCOTLAND.

The Estey Organ company of Brattleboro, Vt., has installed and completed to the satisfaction of the church a new pipe organ at a cost of over $1,500, half of which through the efforts of Jacob L. Moak was donated by Andrew Carnegie. The organ has two manuals and pedals of full compass; and in modern accessories it is complete, having the table stop action of which there are 13, instead of stop knobs. With the multiplicity of couplers the combinations are increased very largely. In addition to the convenient stop action it has two piston combinations and a crescendo pedal. The soft stops are very pleasing in tone, and the full organ meets every demand of the service. The instrument was built to order by the Estey company and stands in the left corner of the choir platform, which was enlarged for the purpose. The case is handsomely finished in a shade of brown to harmonize with the finishing of the church. There are 396 pipes, 21 gilded front speaking pipes, making a design of pleasing appearance. The organ is blown by a powerful electric blower located in the basement. Mrs. Jacob L. Moak will be the organist. The members of the congregation are justly proud of their historic church, the pleasing appearance of the interior and the splendid new organ.

AFTER-CARE FOR PARALYZED CHILDREN

State Department of Health Announces Program.

Dr. Linsly R. Williams, Deputy State Commissioner of Health, announced today that the State Department of Health would organize a comprehensive plan of after-care for cases of infantile paralysis in New York State outside of New York City. There have been 3,245 cases outside of the City, among which there have been, up to this time, 559 deaths. Among the 2,686 surviving patients a small proportion have made, or will make, a complete recovery without paralysis, but the great majority will suffer some degree of paralysis. This can be greatly reduced, and in some cases wholly removed, by suitable treatment extending over months, and sometimes over years, with appliances when needed.

AN EASY WAY TO REDUCE FLESH

Drink Hot Water and Take Tassco.

Haven’t you often wished for a medicine to reduce your flesh? Something that does not require dieting or calisthenics? Well, right here you have it in 5-grain tassco tablets, which you may secure at your druggist’s. They are pleasant to take, perfectly harmless and cause no restrictions of habit or eating, and reduce the flesh, little by little, until you are down to the number of pounds you wish to weigh.
