ptYs--. 3 THE SOU ANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1900. NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA DID MISS PEARL REESE , ATTEMPT SUICIDE? New Version of the Stroudsburg Chloroform Story A Letter Calcu lated to Throw Light Upon the Subject The Water Too Cold Oth er Monroe County News. Special to the. Scranton Tribune. Htroudsburg, March 27. The abduc tion and chloroform story told by Miss Pearl Reese Is not believed by many. The yo'urig lady, attempted' suicide, as the following, mailed by her on Sun day evening, clearly shows. It was evidently .written to her lover: My dear when you receive thla I will bo cold and dead, My dear, when you lead this think of me, who loved you ns no one c)fo could. If when I lay In my rofflu rady for the grave jou will come and look at mo my dearest wish will be realised. You know now why I eouU not lm Unlit hf-artcd white with you during the past week. Would to 5od I might make your Hie a-happy one, hut 1 am go ing out of sour llf" as completely as If 1 had never seen -you and perhaps when I am" Bono forever you'll sometimes fit and tMnk of me and alwayA remember when.-vou think thus that I loved ou better than you knew. On Sunday evening Mies Rresc at tended the ISuworth league service In the East Stroudsburg Methodist Epls. copal church, leaving- before thc exer cises closed. Later she attended the Salvation Army services and wuh seen ut ten minutes of nlno on Orren street. Miss Reese went toward the Pocono Tbe IM THE first Napoleon said that the one thing France needed to make her great was MOTHERS. He understood that "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." There were mothers a-plenty in France as mothers go. But what Napoleon wanted was mothers who should be breeders of men ; men of stature and men of stamina, fit to follow the eagles of France through Egypt's sands and Russia's snows. There can be no strong manhood where there is no strong motherhood. Strength implies health, for where there is sound health there is also strength. The world is full of the wailing of weak and puny children who will grow up to be small of stature, frail of body and weak of mind, a menace to the national greatness. Who is to blame ? The mother is to blame if she does not at least endeavor to fit herself, physically, for the duties and obliga tions of her state. There is nothing surer, nothing more definitely established as an undeniable fact, than that weak -women are made strong by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Who says so? The women, who out df weak ness, have been made strong, say so, The women for whom the pre-natal period has been robbed of its misery. The women tor whom the birth hour has been made practi cally painless. The women who never nursed a healthy child until they used " Favorite Pre scription." The women who could never nurse a child at all before "Fa vorite Prescription" made the fountain of nourishment to flow in abundance. These are the women, thousands in number, who bear witness that Dr. Pierce's Favor ite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. "I am so thankful for what Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has done for me," writes Mrs John T. tasTM' Ati tm Smith, of Slocau.B.C, Box 50. " It helped me through the long months preceding the birth of my child, a big, strong baby girl, the most healthy of all m three, anil it cured mo of a disease which was taking away all my strength." ALMOST PAST BELIEF. "I take pleasure in informing you of the birth of a boy in perfect health, on May 18th. 180a." writes Mrs L. E. Corti. of Wallonville, Pa., Box 25. "I cannot ciently strong to express to you my thcuiks, for my deliver was almost without pain, and when my husband arrived ith the doctor the child was already born The, neighbors who were with us, and my husband and the doctor, could n?t believe their eyes. Having suffered so much before I never believed myself able to be delivered of a living child. I tell everybody this happy event was due to the help of God and of your medicines. I shall never be without your medicines Jicnceforth and shall never fail to recommend your'' Favorite Prescription, "Our hearts are full of gratitude to you for your medi cines, which have given,u9 the happiness of having a living child of. our own, after so much suffering aud disappoint metit. "I recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to all young women, who are in the same condition that I was in, as one of the best remedies in existence. I have used eight bottles and find myself in perfect health." "I have been the mother of five children, two of which were premature births, and my health was very poor ever since until the present time," writes Mrs. A. W. Cornwell, of 810 F Street, N. ; Washington, D. C. "Had trouble of internal organs for six or seven years. I took local treat ment and different medicines, but they only gave me tem porary relief. Had palpitation of the heart, weak stomach, and all sorts of aches and pains. I was advised by friends to try Dr. Pierce's medicines. In October, 1898, I began taking it, and felt better after taking a few doses. Have taken seven bottles of 'Pavorite Piescription,' two of Golden Medical Discovery,' three vials of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, and, two of his ' Compound Extract of Smart-Weed.' In August, 199, I gave birth to a strong i4 FREE mrtnrn It to you.

It Is now known that the young lady attempted to commit suicide about three years ago. It' Is believed that when she went to the Pocono bridge on Sunday evening she was deter mined to end her llfo, but for some reason sho lost, her nerve nnd after being ducked she went to the Nevll house to spend the night. An organization wns effected by the hoard of health on Monday evening. R. II. Klntnnr was made president, Dr. W. K. Ore-gory, secretary, and Amos Schoonony, health officer. The secretary's salary was made $4S per year and the health officer's $60. Some consideration was given the garbage question, but ro c.ctlon was. taken. Constable Kinney nnd Policeman Welter took Into custody Joseph Birch, of Tnnnetsvllle. yesteidav for compli city In the Crystal Spilngs robbery. Hlrch was committed to tho county jail In default of $300 ball. The F.pworth league of the local Methodist Episcopal church tendered a reception to Hev. and ."Mrs. Robert Crawford last evening. Hev. Crawford was married some weeks ago and was recently tcturncd to the Stroudsbur,-? charge by Bishop Fowler. Ills ro.ir ilago at this time recalls the great tight made by the local chuich two years ngo to have Crawford sent t this place. The nigunu-nt then made was that Hev. Crawford being a single man could not till a mauled man's charge such as Stroudsburg. His mar rKge now settles the question definitely. That socks sales. baby boy. Was in labor only a short time. Now my gen eral health is good and I feel stronger and better in every way than I have felt for years. I feel that I cannot praise your mediqines enough, and shall always feel that I owe mv good health to you and your valuable remedies. I thank God for this 'Favorite Prescription ' (woman's friend)." " When I wrote to you, in March, asking as to what to do for myself," says Mrs. Ella Reynolds, of Guffie, McLean Co., Ky. "I was expecting to become confinvi 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 year;. My hips, back and lower bowels hurt me all the time. Had munbnes3 from my hips down. Had several hard cramping spells, and was not able to do any work at all. I received your answer in n few days, telling me to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I took three bottles, and before I had taken it a week I was better, aud before I had taken it a month I was able to do my work. On the 27th of May my baby was born, and I was only sick three hours, aud 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 tnis boy.' "We praise Dr. Pierce's medicine, for it has cured me. I am better now than I have been for thirteen years." NO EXCUSE FOR SUFFERING. Mothers by thousands have given like testimony. Is there any reason why you should suffer and be the mother of an fered for women's use. It is a purely vegetable preparation and can not disagree with the weakest constitution. "Favorite Prescription" makes weak women strong and sick women well by curing the causes of womanly weakness and sickness. It regulates the periods, dries the drains which sap the strength, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. Sick and weak women, especially those suffer ing from chronic forms of disease, are invited ot consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, absolutely free, and so obtain the advice of the foremost specialist in diseases of women absolutely without cost or fee. All correspondence is strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. This offer of free medical advice is not to. be con founded with any similar offer made in imitation of it. There is no .similar offer which has behind it an institution like the Invalids' Hotel and Sur gical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., presided over by Dr. Pierce, as chief consulting physician, assisted by a staff of nearly a score of skilled physicians, every man a specialist in the treatment and cure of disease. A letter to Dr. Pierce puts you in con sultation with the foremost specialist in the treat ment and cure of woman's diseases. The only cost is the stamp on your letter. Accept no substitute for "Favorite Prescription." A substitute means a little more profit to the dealer, but it is an absolute loss to you. Only "Favorite Prescription" will do for you what it has done for the women whose tstimony we have printed above. find words suffi Or.
