PITTSTON.
Special to tli? Scranton Tribune.
PIttston, Jan. 8. Ferdinand Steven",
one of the state food Inspectois, was
here Saturday afternoon, Investigating
the circumstances surrounding the
death of the boy Charles Williams, who
died the Friday after Christmas, from
what was paid to be poisoning, result
ing from eating colored candy. The
Hemitfa"
Is the worst kind of poverty. However
rich u woman may be, if her health is
"poor "she is poor indeed. She has no
appetite for food and the choicest dishes
cannot tempt her. She turns ami tosses
through a restless night on a couch
which might woo an empress to slumber.
She has no strength for household cares,
no delight in social pleasure. She sits
"perkeel up in a glistering grief wearing
a golden sorrow." She is a wife and
mother. But she has no happiness iu
cither relation. She knows her husband's
life is set in tune and time to the minor
music of her own misery. If her child
laughs or cries her nerves quiver with
pain.
Ask such a woman if she would like to
he well; to be her husband's comrade,
her child's playmate. Could there be
but one answer?
Such a woman can get well if she will.
All her symptoms indicate a diseased
condition of the delicate womanly or
ganism. Cure that condition and the
woman will be lifted up to the full en
joyment of health.
In ninety-eight cases out of every hun
dred Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
will cure womanly diseases, will restore
the womanly health. It has cured tena
of thousands of women many of whom
had been given up by physicians and
friends. It is essentially a medicine for
woman's ills. It dries enfeebling drains.
It heals inflammation and ulceration. It
cures female weakness and bearing down
pains. It tranquillzes the nerves, re
stores the appetite and gives refreshing
sleep.
"Favorite Prescription" differs from
almost all other medicines put up for
woman's use in that it contains no alco
hol and is entirely free from opium, co
caine and all other narcotics. It is in
the truest sense of the term a tem
perance medicine.
A Constant Sufferer.
"I had been a constant sufferer from uterine,
disease for five years," writes J, A. Steorts, of Yau
kee Darn, Clay Co., West Virginia, "and for nix
months previous to taking your medicine I was
not out of my room. Could not walk or stand,
as there was such pain and drawing in left side
and bearing down weight in regiou of uterus,
accompanied with soreness. I suffered con
stantly wilU headache, pain In back, shoulders,
arms and chest: had palpitation, nervous prostra
tion, constipation, dizaiue, ringing in cars;
could not sleep, and breathing was so difficult nt
times I could not He down. Words fall to de
scribe my sufferings when I wrote to you for
advice. In a short time I received a kind letter
from you telllug me I would be greatly bene
fited, if not entirely cured, by the use of Dr.
Tierce's Favorite Prescription. When I had taken
one bottle of the 'Prescription,' together with Dr.
1 '.'fS? feasant Pellets and the local treatment
which you advised, I could walk (with the sup
port ofa cane), the drnwiugaud pain In hide and
bearing down weight were not so bad, and when
I had taken three bottles of the mediciue the
periods were regulated, I was not so nervous,
could sleep well, and the pain In side and bear
tig down had vanished. I have taken sin bot
c pf M'avorite Prescription,' two ot 'Golden
Medical Discovery and four vials of ' Pellets,'
and my health is better at this time than It has
been in five years.
'I.1!!1, fateful .thanks for your kind advice,
and with best wishes."
Dr. Pierce's Pleas,
ant Pellets are a
most effective laxa
Uve for women.
They cure bilious
uess and sick headache.

WHAT SHALL WE EAT
To Keep Healthy and Strong.
A healthy appetite nnd common
sense arc excellent guides to follow In
matters ot diet, and a mixed diet of
grains, fruits and meats Is undoubted
ly the best, In spite ot the claims mode
by vegetarians and food cranks gen
erally. As compared with grains and vege
tables, meat furnishes the most nutri
ment In a highly concentrated form
and is digested and assimilated moro
quickly than vegetables or grains.
Dr. Julius Remusson on this subject
says; Nervous poisons, people run
down In health and ot low vitality
should eat plenty of meat. If the di
gestion Is too feeble nt llrst it may be
easily strengthened by the regular uso
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal. Two of these excellent tab
lets taken after dinner will digest sev
eral thousand grains ot meat, eggs or
other animal food In three or four
hours, while the malt diastase also con
tained in Stuart's Tablets cause tho
perfect digestion of starchy foods, like
potatoes, bread, etc., and no matter
how weak the stomach may be, no
trouble will be experienced If a regular
praotlco Is made of using Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets because they supply the
pepsin and diastase so necessary to
perfect digestion, and any form of In
digestion and stomach trouble except
cancer of tho stomach will be overcome
by their dally use.
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and Insure
Its complete digestion by the systemat
ic uso of a safe, harmless digestive
medicine like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets composed of tho natural digestive
principles, peptones and diastase,
which actually perform the work of
digestion und give the abused stomach
a chance to rest and to furnish the
body and brain with tho necessary
nutriment. Cheap cathartic medicines
masquerading under the name ot dys
pepsia cures nre useless for relief or
cure of Indigestion because thev have
absolutely no effect upon the actual di
gestion of food.
Dyspepsia In all Its forms Is simply a
failure of the stomach to digest food
and the sensible way to solve the riddle
and cute the Indigestion Is to make
dally use nt meal time of a safe pre
paration which Is endorsed by the
medical profession nnd known to con
tain active digestive principles, and all
this can truly be said of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets.
All druggists throughout the United
States, Canada and Great Britain sell

cents for full treatment.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Eevlew.
New ioik, Jan. 8. The most striking feature
in today's stock market was the marked falling
In the volume ot trading. Compared with yes
terday's unprecedented record of over 2,000,000
shares todaj's sales of flock fell back to 1,511,000
shares. The snap was clearly gone from the bull
enthusiasm and the bet efforts of the hull
leaders proved unavailing to Induce any general
or imposing advance in prices. The deci eased
activity of the market was manifest ftcm the
opening whlih showed no such congested buying
with running sales of enormous blocks at wide
quotations as has been the feature of the open
ings ever since Xew Year's day. The realising
movement .veaterday was taken up in London this
morning and there wne opening declines reach
ing from 1 to a In a number of Internationals.
Then owe the invariable contest between specu
lative forces In the form of supporting orders
and sharp bidding up of stocks newly brought
forward Into prominence. Sugar, People's Uas
and Hock Inland were the prluclpal sustaining
forces at the opening.
The speculative contest was continued all day
with vaijlng fortunes. The greatest inejnlarity
and ruott erratic fluctuations wero amongst the
Orangert, Coalers, Pacifies and some of tho
trunk lines. These all had their cjrly period of
strength and again were most prominent In tho
late drive against the market, 't. Paul rose at
one time to 101 and fell back late In the day to
15614. The declines from the highest In other
members of the groups ran froih, 2 to 3 points.
The southwestern railroad stocks were the mot
conshtently strong of any In the list. The spe
cial strength in Missouri Pacilie had a stimulate
Ing effect on the whole group. This stoek opened
up a fraction and inaugurated most ot the
rallies afterwards during the day, It iloed at
81,i, top price, showing a net gain of five
polntii. The- mily news to account fur the riiie
was a published istinute placing the earnings
of the company at a high per cent, of the
stock. The final strung tally of the market very
materially reduced the dij'n declines and lifted
many stocks from 1 to i points above the low
level. Iieadlng rallied 'JVj. Total sales, 1,311,000
sharM.
The bond market continued lis Incgularlly on
a volume of bu-incM much less relatively than
that In storks. Total sales, par valu", 'H.iw.uOO.
U, S refunding 2 advanced 'i pet cut. on the
last call.
