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

the East Stroudsburg Methodist Epls.
copal church, leaving- before thc exer

Salvation Army services and wuh seen

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

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

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.

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.

tion. Tho Pacific stocks had to absorb a
large amount of realising and the south
ern nnd southwestern groups were af
fected by tho samo cause. Tho bitumin
ous coal roads also came to a halt.
Other points of strength developed In the
list and the net changes show a large
proportion of gulns. Tho general tone
of tho market, however, was by no
means so strong as yesterday and tho
transactions wero on a smaller scale.
The Coalers and tho high priced Indus
trials, tho iron and steel stocks and local
tractions all bhowed evidence of strength
and thero were soma conspicuous ad
vances In stocks not usually traded In
to any extent. Total sales. DO5.40O shares.
The bond market was not so actlvo as
yesterday, but a laige business was. done
at advancing prices. Total sales, par
value, $4.SS.',000. United States 3s regis
