JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.
Speaking "f the possible location of
new Industries here, a local correspond
ent says: "If ever any town was In
need ot a benefactor, Jerniyn in at
present, and many of our citizens, es
pecially the older ones, are contldent
that this borough will have one, and
a true one, before many months. The
assistance of a little cold cash Just now
would put this borough on the road to
prosperity, .with a flist-class chance nf
reaching the enviable goal. There is
ono man In Lackawanna county who
can supply the necessary Impetus, and
at the same time add lustre to his own
name. He Is always looked to by the
older lesidents of the town when a
question of this kind comes up. They
hao a wonderful faith In his gener
osity, and often has the remark been
made' 'Walt till the proper time comes
and ho will not forget us.' Thus far he
has done nothing. But now, when u
few hundred dollars will mean thou
sands to citizens of Jermyn, when the
exorcise of a little generosity will give
employment to hundreds ot our work
ing people, the time appears to be rlpo
to hear from the expected benefactor.
The one In whom so much confidence Is
placed is Mr. John Jermyn, of .Scran
ton He was for many ycais a lesl-
dent of this place, and It Is his name
the town hear a The chaure to assist
Jermyn In a practical manner was
nevr beforo presented to Its p.itroi..
anil It Is to be hoped that the present
opportunity will not be missed, and thut
the large weaving plant that wants to
locate here so badly will bo met with
abundant capita', to supply all Its
needs. Only those acquainted with tho
older residents of Jermyn will be ablo
to appreciate their disappointment if
the expected and much needed aid Is
not forthcoming to help anchor the
prosperous concCm In this town.

A Certain Cure
for Constipation
Regulations ns to Diet, Exercise,
Etc,. n3 Prescribed by One
of the Alost Cmlncnt
Physicians.
Constipation offset" mostly those who
arc dyspeptic nr who sit too much or
too long. It uannot be cured by med
lclneu alone. Tho following In tlm pre
scrlptlon of a leading physician:
1st. Taking on ilalng a tes3poonful
of Carlsbad Sprudel Salt In a glass of
water an hot as you can Mp It. Then
take a In Isle walk out of dcois. It you
can; If not, keep on your feet and move
about Indoors. If tho trouble Is chronic,
and serious, itake another dose In from
thirty to sixty minutes. Walt at lenrt
holt an hour before eating your break-
fnBt
2d. Neer sit down to read or work
after bieakfast until Nature has found
rtllof. "But I haven't time." You will
have time If you rle an hour earlier
than before, and n. euro Is worth that.
3d. t'so laxative fooduse 11 gruel
of tolled oats and water, no milk; and
use honey with wheat griddle cakes or
with buad. Neer touch toast, or milk
except in coffee. Don't cat blackber
ries or cheese, 11ml never drink tea for
breakfast. Use coffee at brenklast, if
you can; if not, hot water. Chew nil
food thoroughly and never use. a li
quid to help mastli.ate It. Neer use
acids or sour fiult, and fiult whtn
cooked it' much easier dlcesWd than
If uncooked.
Ith. Why use Carlsbad Sprudcl
Salt? lieiause, fhst, there Is no reac
tion to follow it. You know what that
means, If you have taken plnsles and
found yourself worse off than before,
the r.ncond dny afterwoids; second,

Dangers of the Grip.
Tho greatest danger from La Grippe
Is of Its resulting In pneumonia, if
reasonnblo caro I.s ustd, howeer, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will bo avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe we have yet to
learn of u single case having tesulted
in pneumonia which shows conclusively
that this remedy Is a certain preventive
of that dangerous disease. It will euro
la grippo in less time than any other
treatment. It Is pleasant and Fafe to
take. For salo by all druggists-. Mat

THAT J3 Tvhnt the farmer said when lie was directing a stranger on his journey. " When you come to
'iMlCrr" the crosij-roads keep to the main traveled way." There's a sound logic in that
advice which those who arc starting out in search of health might well heed.
"Stick to the main traveled road and you'll come out nil right."
Many hundreds of thousands of people have marked n path for you to follow. It has led them to
health. This path which they have trodden leads to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo,
N. Y., where Dr. Pierce, the chief consulting physician, and Jiis staff numbering nearly n score of experi
enced and skilled specialists, are every day engaged in the treatment and cure of chronie diseases. Much 'v.f
the treatment is by correspondence. Any sick person is invited to consult Dr. R. V. Pierce by letter n' -lutely
free of charge and under the promise of absolute privacy.
There is hope for everyone who begius the use of Dr. Pierce's treatment. Out of the many thousat. .
treated, ninety-eight per cent, have been absolutely cured by Dr. Pierce and his staff of physicians. A greet
number of these were the " hopeless" cases for which the home doctor said nothing could be done. People

Sarah IJ. Taylor, of Eureka, Greenwood
County, Kmvsas, writes: "I wish, to say
t&yoa fortlte benefit of jflerim humanity,
I bad been a sufferer for fifteen yean
nearly all the. time; and in August, 1S9C,
rs taken, with cevcre crampbip pain irr my
stomach. The doctor here said it. was '"uc
to gall stones. He relieved me fotra sh"rt
time, and thexuthare was a hard hrtnp al
the bub of a. goose egg formed lit ' 1
light tide. It bevxmc so tore t cci 1 1
scajcely walk, about the house, sad I ha.l
no appetite. I consulted two of thcbc.t
doctors, in. town and they said medicine
would do tne no good. I gave up all hopu
of ever gcttinp; well again. One day I
thought I would write to ywu telling-you. of.
niy condition. You. told me I had enlarge
ment of one of the lobes of my liver and
the gall bladder, and advised tau to take
your 'fJolden Medical Discovery" and
Pleasant Pellets,' which T did according to
directions. I had not token, more than
half a bottle of each when 1 began, to feel
better, and my appetite came back. Kow
it is a little over u year since I began, to do
nry own work. I have taken seven bottlea
of Dr. Pkrce'a Goldcu Medical Discovery
nnd seven viali of the 'Pellets, oad am
stronger than I have been for five yearn."
" 1 was taken sick in July, last year, and
was not able to do any kind of work until
November," writes Mr. Noel W. Orvin, of
Langtey, Aiken Co., S. C. "Had been
coughing up small, hard lumps of phlegm
for ubout a year before I was Uikcn down; I
then called on a doctor who attended me
for two months, and said that one-half of
my left lung was gone, and advised me to
leave my home (Charleston, S. C), and go
to the country, but did not say whit wirt of
disease I hatf. I thought it was consump
tion, and wrote to you for advice. I took
four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, which I 6inccrely believe has
done me more good than all the other
medicines I have ever taken."
Do not hesitate or delay if afflicted
with any old, chronic, or obstinate
disease. Write to Dr. R. V. Pierce.
