RETUKNINC1 YOUTH. seventy years said Oliver cndel Holmes when they asked Ins age. True enough. He was young because h i s heart was young; his step was firm; his eye was bright; his laugh was clear and merry; his annctite was good, and above all so was his digestion. No man should be old before his time because of a weak stomach, sluggish liver, shaky nerves and flabby muscles. There is no need of it. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures these things. It brings back youth to the feeble because it brings back keen appe tite and good digestion. It tones up the liver, puts oxygen and life into the blood, and solid strength into the flesh and muscles. It contains no alcohol to inebriate or create a morbid appetite or craving for stimulants. "I have never felt better lu my life than I do now," says Charles Hunwlcfc, of Lenox. Macomb Co., Mien., in a remutkable letter to Dr. K. V. rlerce, of Iluffalo, N. Y. ' 1 have taken Dr. l'Jerce Golden Medical Discovery right along. I can now walk quite well with a cane and hope to throw even that awny before long, aud ns I have had to use crutches for nearly two year, I think I am doing fine. I do not cough now and 1 can eat and deep like a school boy I think I will have to change my mind about ' Patent Mediciuei,' as I never had much faith in them; but you must know that I have been treated iu two hospitals and by three doctors besides, and received no benefit; so I think your medicine Is the only medicine for rae," There is uothing in the world for constipation like Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They should be taken in con junction with the " Discovery," when ever any disease is complicated with that dangerous condition. Nothing else that may be offered in their place will ac complish what they will. And their re lief Is permanent. Write to Dr. Pierce for free advice. Jr-P " am r5L young," A$pVm " I'd.

FALLS HEIR TO HANDY FORTUNE Story of n Forged Will Which Reads Elko Melodrama but Is a Narra tive of Fact. Mt. Carmcl, Pa., Sept. C.Dr. Wil liam A. Lomlson, of North Market stret, has 'fullen heir to a fortune of $60,000. Ho Is a grandson of the late Henry Loiuison, of Pittsburg, who died about four years ago leaving a fortune valued at $1,000,000 In the Smoky City, made up of real estate, stock, securi ties and good old "coin of the reulin." It appears that there was a forged will substituted for the originut one, by which a nephew secured pssosslon of the vast property, u short time nfter Dr. Lomison's death. The rightful heirs of the property, six children of tho doctor, were not satisfied with tho forged will nnd have been quietly fight ing In tho Pittsburg courts for several years past, Recent developments in tin case placed the heirs In a position to prove to an obsolute certainty that the will was forged. They have evidence that $10,000 was paid for tho forgery, which was so cleverly done as almost to defy detec tion Tho man who committed the forgery has "squealed," and the dis honest nephew Is under arrest. The forger and another party who saw the bribe paid to alter the will are be Ing hold as witnesses against the man who has so long kept the rightful heirs out of their property. Dr. Lomison's father and mother are both dead. His father's share of the estate Is over $80,000. This sum will be divided between the three children: Mrs. Pierce Stong, of Pottsvllle; Dr. William I.omlson, of Mt. Carmcl, nnd Mrs. George Welser, of Phllndelphlo. The Individual share of the children will be In round figures about $00,000. WYOMING COUNTY COURTS. Trial List for October Term in Com mon Pleas. Special to The Scranton Tribune.
