THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1900.
SWEET
Afrer Long Nights of Torture !
The agony endured through loss of sleep can
only be appreciated by those to whom a merciless
fate has brought this experience. To lie In bed,
minute after minute, hour after hour, night after
night, unable to sleep ; to roll and toss, to walk the
floor, longing for sleep to close the aching eyes and
rest the tired bralnl Do you realize that blllousnsss
accounts for thret'fourths of the insomnia of today?
Such is the fact; and it Is equally true that no surer
or safer remedy is known than that great liver In
vlgorator, Warner's Safe Cure. Biliousness causing
lots of sleep If neglected may lead to insanity that
awful state In which one is lost to himself and friends
forever. No excuse for neglect. Warner's Safe
Cure is procurable in every town in the United
States and you are making no experiment in using
it. Thousands have already testified to its curative
merits In liver and In' kidney disease.

Because he is doomed to shed tears
unceasingly till death linally closes his
eyes In the hint, long sleep, Andrew
Thompson, tv Lackawanna mlner.wnnta
the Delaware. Lackawanna and West
ern Itailroad company, whom he
blames for his unrellevable lachrymos
ial condition, to pay him $20,0'10.
Last October, he was riding with a
teamster who was helping him inovn
hi household goods from his former
homo in Mllwaukle to his present
abiding place near Lackawanna sta
tion. Whlta passing over the railroad
crossing at Lackawanna, tho watch
man suddenly dropped the gates, and
one of tho arms struck Thompson full
In the face, throwing hlni to the
ground and Injuring him severely.
His nose was broken, his back and
elbow wrenched, and his nervous sys
tem violently disturbed, but what he
complains of mostly la that the tear
ducts of his eyes were ro ruptured or
otherwise disarranged that he shoJs
tears continually, cvcai the merriest
moods Into which a man of his many
breaks and biuiscs could be expected
to ptoject himself.

More Remonstrances Filed.
Attorney George W. Bealo yestoiday
tiled a petition from eleven lesidonts
of the Second ward praying court not
to grant the application of Peter Vr
iil for n retail liquor license for 1407
Providence road.
The petitioners say that the place
In which the applicant proposes to es
tablish his suloon Is a "cellar-like" por
tion of u dwelling house In no wise fit
for the accommodation of the public.
If the public needed any more accom
modation of that kind In that particu
lar locality, which Is hardly the case,
the petitioners say, because the Cerenl
place Is In close proximity to a long
established, tlrst class hotel.
A further reason for piotestlng
against the license being granted to
Cerenl Is that he leased the place for
merly to C. P. Connell, who Is under
Indictment for selling liquor there
without a license and selling to minors.
Although Connell has been under In
dictment sinco October last, the peti
tioners say, his landlord, the applicant
in the present case, has made no ef
fort to dispossess hlni or stop the
tlagrant violations of the liquor law,
which, In the belief of the petitioners,
occur thuro dally, nnd which, they fur
ther belief, the landlord cannot be ig
norant of. They claim he Is equally
as guilty as Connell and, being thus
tainted, is not a fit person to be grant
ed a license.
The petition is signed by William
Francis, C. A. Towsend, M. W. Col
lins, J. P. Collins, P. H. Collins, James
Wchmond, J. H. Claik, Mrs. J. IX.
Clark, Mrs. M. K. Claik, Augustus K.
Ash and B. J. Williams.
Thomas F. Lally, who was lefused a
license lust yeur for his building in the
Second ward of Blakely, will encounter
the same opposition that defeated him
last year.
Thirty-nine of the residents of tho
Immediate neighborhood and tho trus
tees of the Blakely Baptist church and
Frlmltlvo Methodist church of Blakely,
acting for their respective congrega
tions, sign the remonstrance.
They ullegc the place Is not neces
sary, that it Is In a residential portion
of the town, nnd the Interests of the
community will bo better served by
having tho place continued as a gro
cerv store.
The present tenants of the building,
Barry Frews, grocers, are among
the signers of tho remonstrance.
Though lueso remonstrances are filed
a day late, they will ho quite as ef
fectual as If they had been In on time,
ns ceurt has Invariably taken cogniz
ance' of all remonstrances that uro
prevented before tho session begins.

"A WOIMfi a lie Mffll Of It.
" rpHERE'S a woman at tho bottom of it." How
JL often, when some "good man goes wrong,"
you hear that calumnious wliisper! But
how rarely do men realize that when they succeed
in life, when the family grows up in health and vigor,
there's a woman nt the bottom of it. Tho woman
member of that famous athletic family, standing at
the bottom of tho human pyramid and supporting lms
and children, is only a type of thousands of women
who by brain and body uphold the husband and the
home. Hardlv anvbodv knows the work or worth
of such a woman. Even her husband doesn't
know the extent of his debt to her. She is a mod
est, self-sacrificing little woman. She hides the
bruises and sores which she has gained in the
struggle and strain of her life even from her hus
band. And this is the sort of woman who fades
away in hey prime, and leaves a husband and
family rich and prosperous to awake too. late to
her worth and virtue.
It is useless to say to such a woman, " Stand
from under. The load is too great for your
strength. The loud she has taken she will carry
to the end. Tho best thing to say to her is, "If
you can't diminish your burden you can increase
your strength. Bring your
strengtn up 10 tne weight , ExP
you have to carry. Thou
sands of women nave heard
that message with glad
hearts. And thousands of
women are alive to-day who
had given up hope of living,
but arc restored to health
and happiness by the use
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. It is not the ordinarv
wear and tear of life which breaks down the
woman's health. .It is the secret, subtle drains
on her vitality, made by diseases of the delicate
womanly organs, which at last bring collapse.
The power of "Favorite Prescription" to heal
and strengthen is primarily dependent on the .
tact that it heals womanly diseases, and
strengthens the delicate womanly organs.
It regulates the periods, dries enfeebling
drains, Heals inflammation and ulceration
and cures female weakness. Its use ren
ders childbirth practically painless, and
enables the mother to provide abundant
nutrition for the nursing child.
A PRAYER UNANSWERED.
" I think if it wcre not for your Favorite Prescription ' I
would have been in my grave, and my little boy and my hus
band would have been alone," writes Mrs. Udwin II. Gardner,
of Egypt, Plymouth Co., Mass., Bok 14. "Your medicine
almost raided me from the dead. I hid pain all over me, and
such a dragging feeling it beemed I could noWlo mj housework.
I had to sit down to wash the dishes, even, and also to do some
of my other work, too. Iti the year LS97, I was so sick I did
not care to live, and prayed many times that God would take
me. Then I thought of my little boy and my husband and
thought it would be dreadful to go and leave them hidiind ;
so one clay I was looking over my papers and found a little hook
in which I used to keep my husband's accounts. I read it, and
thought I would write to Dr. Pierce. I sat down, as sad as ever,
and wrote a tew lines to nun, aim 111 a lew clays received an
answer. I decided to try his medicines, and to-day I am a well
woman. I have no headache, no pain at all. I used alwavs
to have headache previous to the monthly periods, and s-uch
pain that I would roll on tho floor in agony. This sometimes
would occur evcrytwo weeks, and I would be very weak aftei
ward. I was in pain all over. My feet would blip from under
tne when I would try to go across the room, ami I could not walk any distance
without being in pain. Words cannot exprcrs what I suffered in two months.
After I had taken one bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription I began to feci
better. I took three bottles of ' Favorite Prescription ' and three of ' Golden Med
ical Discovery ' and three vials of Dr. Pierce's Pellets, and was completely cured."
That is the kind of cure which follows the use of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Tt isn't a half cure.
It is a perfect cure. It's a common testimony of those
cured by this medicine, " I am a. well woman, f was
in pain all over, but now have no pain at all."

If you are sick there is nothing better you can do
than to follow Mrs. Gardner's example, when, in her
helplessness, she wrote a few lines to Dr. Pierce. That
i'ew lines of correspondence has been the beginning; of
a new life to many a woman. Dr. Pierce invites sick
women to consult him by letter absolutely free. He
places at the service of every sick woman his wide
experience in the treatment ot woman's diseases, gath
ered in over thirty years of practice and in the treat
ment and cure of more than half a million sick women.
To his own services he adds those of his staff of
nearly a score of medical specialists, engaged
every day in the treatment of "diseases in the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo,
N. Y., of which well-known institution Dr. R. V.
Pierce is chief consulting physician.
It is well to remember that while anyone can
offer " medical advice," only a physician can give
it. To seek medical advice of any man or woman
who is not a physician is even more foolish than
to employ your butcher as a dressmaker.
There is no other offer of free medical advice
which can compare with this of Dr. Pierce, be
cause there is no other offer which has behind
it a great medical' institution, and a staff of
Medicine seemed to do me 110
for quite a while, every dav
across the room. My friends were looking for my death every minute.
A friend wrote nnd told me about Dr. U. V. Pierce, and I at once wrote
to him for medical advice. He replied immediately, giving me full in
structions as to what to do. 1 at once followed liis advice, and when
I had taken his medicine aliout a week I felt a good deal stronger.
When I had taken it about one month I felt as strong as I do to-day. I
I took four bottlesof each kind and two vials of ' Pleasant Pellets.' Many
thanks for the medicine. It has permanently cured me."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription can
be used freely without the fear of acquiring
some terrible drug habit, which frequently
follows the use of certain medicines prepared
for woman's use. There is no alcohol in
"Favorite Prescription," neither does it con
tain opium, cocaine, chloral, or any other
narcotic.
"AN EASY TIME."
"When I wrote to you in March, asking advice as to what to do
for myself," says Mrs. Ella Reynolds, of Guflie, McLean Co., Ky.
"I was expecting to be confined in June, and was sick all of the
time. Had been sick for several months. Could not get anything
to stay in my stomach, not even water. Had miscarriage twice in
six months, threatening all the time with this one. Had female
weakness for several ears. My hips, back and lower towels hurt
me all the time. HacT numbness from my hips down. Had several
hard cramping spells, and was not able, to do any work at all. I
received your answer in a few days, telling me to" take Dr. Pierce's
Eavorite Inscription. I took three bottles, and before I had taken
it a week I was better, and liefore 1 had taken it a month I was able
to help do my work. On the twenty-seventh of May my baby was
born, and 1 was only sick three hours, and had an easy time. The
doctor said I got along nicely, and my husband said if it had not
been for Dr. Pierce we would not have had this loy.
"We praise Dr. Pierce's madicinc, for it has cured me. I am
better now than I have been in thirteen years. I hope all that are
afflicted will do as 1 have done and be cured."
Do not accept any substitute for Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. There is no other "put-up"
medicino for women so safe to use or so sure to
cure. No substitute is ever offered except where
dealers are eager to make the larger profit paid
by less meritorious articles. Insist on "Favorite
Prescription." Give it a fair trial and it will"cure
you, as it has cured ninety-eight per cent, of all who
have used it.
