HEART
RXILURE
Every day adds to the list of deaths
attributed to heart failure. If the
t truth were told the bulk of these
deaths might be written down as due
to stomaeft failure. For it is in the
' failure of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition, that " weak "
heart, "weak" lungs, "weak" nerves and
other forms of physlcial deterioration
having their beginning. The man whose
stomach is sound, who can digest and
assimilate, the food he eats, and so keep
each orgsn of .the body well nourished,
is the man who is least liable to collapse
under the sudden weakness of some
vital organ.
The preservation of health which fol
lows the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, is chiefly due to the
fact that it perfectly and permanently
cures' diseases of the stomach and organs
.T .digestion and nutrition, purifies the
blood and increases the blood supply of
the body. , Weak people will find in this
inediclce a sure means of strength.

A woman's back has many aches and

Most tlmo 'tis the Kidneys' fault.
Backache is really kidney ache;
That's why Doan's Kidney il'ills cure
It.
Many Scranton women know this.
Head what one has to say about It:
Mrs. Patrick Urafly, of 623 Hampton
street, Hyde Park, says: "Dull pains
In my back for two years, bothered me
n great deal at night, and the constant
stinging made mo so nervous thnt I
could not sleep for hours. If I turned
In bed a cramp like pain caught me In
tho small of my back and It vvns some
thing terrible. In the morning my
back felt lame and sore' and so weak
that It would hardly support my body.
I felt tired nnd languid nnd had little
ambition to do any work. I saw Doan'a
Kidney Pills advertised nnd so highly
recommended that I got a box nt
Matthew Bros, drug store. After tho
treatment I slept well nights, had more
ambition when doing my house work,
and seldom felt any pain In my back
and kidneys."

fear that unless conditions chanijo divi

The stock declined rapidly the price Nurs

sistent outstanding short Intel est In the
stock served us n recuperative force by
buying to cover controcts. .Ml the promi
nent Industrials were iiulte shatply af
fected In sympathy, tho bears stizm
the opportunity to offer prlcs down and
uncover stop loss orders. The railroads
wero much less affected, although tho
earlier gains wire mostly wiped out.
Thero was good buvlng In the railroads
at tho decline, led by tlu lialtlmoro and
Ohio stocks on the company's strong
statement of December earnings. The
general relaxation In money rates all
over tho world had induced u conviction
that tho oflleial discount rates both of tho
Hank of i:nglnnd and the Imperial bank
of Oeimany will be reduced tomorrow
nnd beard toom traders were inclined to
buy stocks In anticipation of a loielgn
demand on this ai count. Stocks wero
genet ally firm toda In foreign m.ukets
of tho easier monev rates. II tit It Is vciy
clear that tho money markets owes its
abundanco and ease to tho thorough
liquidation of speculative accounts which
has been effected all over tho world In
the last few weeks, nnd to lack of re
newed speeulatlcn. Speculators are ap
parently Btlll disinclined to take on stocks
and today's maiket was but a narrow af
fulr. oven taking Into account tho vliv
lent prlco movement of some of the spe
cialties. Tho prevailing dullness Is at
tributed by traders to fears of unfavor
able news from South Africa, but It Is
not Improbable that tho existing condi
tions there, as well uy In the financial
world have been accurately discounted In
tho speculative markets. New develop
ments are awaited to warrant u new ad
justment of values. Total sales, 6I9,e0f
