The widow complained to the post

Of a Now Catarrh Cure.
A laigo and constantly increasing
mnjorlty of the American peoplo atu
catarrh BUltercis. This Is not entirely
the result of our changcablo climate,
but because modem investigation has
clearly proven that many diseases,
known by other names, aro really ca
tarrh. Formerly the name catarrh was
applied almost exclusively to tho com
mon nasal catarrh, but the throat,
stomach, liver, bladder, kidneys and
Intestines aro subject to catarrhal dis
eases as well as the nasal passages.
In fact, wherever there Is mucous
membrane theie Is a feeding ground
lor catutrh.
The usual remedies, Inhalers, sprays,
douches or powders, have been practic
ally failures, as far as anything more
than temporary relief was concerned,
because they simply dry up the mu
cous secretions, without having tho re
motest effect upon tho blood nnd liver,
which mo the lcul souices of cutarrhal
dlsoases
It bus been known for muny veurs
that the radical cure of caturih could
never come fiom local applications, but
fiom an internal lemedy, acting on the
blood and expelling the catarrhal
poison from tho system.
A new internal piepnratlon which
has been on the nuuket only a shoit
time, has met with icmurkublo suc
cess as a genuine, radical cuio for

OUTBREAK AT DICKSON.
When Gills Woiking in Bliss Mill
Left for Their Homes They Weie
Yelled at and Followed.
For tho first time in some weeks an
outbreak of violence on the pait of thi
sti iking silk mill glils took place yes-
teiday. It occuned at Dickson City,
wheie so many of the distuibances
have taken place duilng the strike.
When the few glils woiking in the
Bliss mill left for their homeh about 6
o'clock, they weie gteeteel with angry
cries of "scab" and "blackleg," and
were followed for some distance by a
number ot girls and small boys, some
of whom added violence to their verbal
abuse. No one was, however, injuied.
The management of the mill has is
sued a wan ant for the an est of LUzic
Stlebler, who Is accused of being one of
the rlnglcadeis, and tomorrow four
moie warrants will be swoin out for
other alleged leadeis of the attack.
Mr. Bliss said last night that the
giiJs at the Dickson City mill had de
cided to go back to woik, but were dis
suaded by "Mothei" Jones, who hap
pened along just after the decision was
anived at. He further chaiges that
Burgess Kennedy is icsponsible in no
small elegit c for the violence, because
Of his failure to make any effurt to give
tho woiking gh is piotection. Mr. Bliss
goes tuither mil sajs that Buigess
Kennedy bus been guilty of calling one
of the mill fm emeu oppiobilous names.
