ANOTHER VICTIM. Btata Inspector Stevens Explodes a Bombshell of Fear Among: Local Milk Dealers Three Arrested and Held in Bail to Answer Charge of Soiling Milk Which Contained Preservatives Tho Dealers Dis claim All Knowledge of the Presence of the Chemicals. Stanley ,T. Pteens of Hairlsburp, an Inspector attached to the ofllce of the ftate food and daliy tommli-sloner, rrcducfd a fort of a lyddite f-hell ex plosion amonp the milk dealeis of the town yesterday afternoon when he ai reMed three of then), Mulholland Bros . of Park Dare. Frank (' Munn, of the Palace creamery, and Heniy Wade man, of Oreenfield township, who dis tributes milk oer a loute In this illy. The trio weie charged with selling milk that contained a homleal pie. fervatlve, In violation of the state pure food law. Formaldehyde Is the iheml cal which was found in the milk. ItV prtsence was located by Piofes.or Al bert H. Welles, of the fatuity of the Fcranton High school, the iustiuctor In phyMc.s and chemlstiy at that Institu tion. Piofessor Welle.-, is the chemist for the food and dairy commission for this district, and It was from nnalscs of the samples of the milk submitted by Inspector Stevens that the piepomo of the deleterious and haimful pre servative was detected. Mr. Welles was ptesent at the hear ing", whlih look place yesterday aftei noon befoie Alderman Monlson. and fubmlttrd his findings, which formed the basis of the cases .igalnst the nc cufed milkmen. The thtee defendants plead guilty when atralgned They disclaimed all knowledge of the pre. ence of the formaldehde. and asset ted that if the chemlr.il was detected in any of their pioducts It was not due to their agency, but must have been placed in the milk by the panics who f.upplled them Aldeunnn Morrison believed a case had been established agalr.M the de fendants and he dlieeled them to fur nish bends In the sum of Jjoo each for their apiwatance at lourt, which thr did The crusade, or investigation, which had Its climax In yesterday's proceed Ings was commenced on August ", when Plate inspector Stevens dime to town and foniewhat sin prised Secte tary Oeorge nans, of the hoard of health, that he was heie for the pni poe of proi urlng samples of milk from all of the dealeis of the town, to have them analyzed. Mr. Stevens, Senet.iry Kvans and Sanitary Policeman Mollltt visited all of the milk depots In town and pio cured samples, also from the dealers who supplv eustonicin thrntighout the city, bill who ate not located here, The samples weie sealed and marked, and taken awav b the Inspector, who pre sented them to Professor Welles for analysis. Theie are slMeen tamples in all, two being procuted fiom Mulhol land Bros, and Frank i Munn. The result of the nnalisls showed the presence of formaldohvde. and when Inspector Stevens was acquainted with this., he placed the Information before Alderman Monlson and caused war rants to hei sworn out for the parties referred to. In the samples of the other dealers, thirteen In number, the analyses did not reveal the presence of any cheml cils. The puipose of the use of for maldehyde is to piescrxe the milk without the use of Ice, thus avoiding this Item of expense and averting the risk of the milk souring. Formalde hyde is an acceptable substitute for Ice, from the mercenary dairyman's standpoint, hut It has a baneful effect on the digestion of the luckless chll Jlren. Infants particularly, who have to drink the nilk wherein It Is made to do service. It retards the digestion or milk, which, being delayed In the stom ach, causes gastric uneasiness and Is prone to upset and disarrange tho dell cate oivgans of digestion, thus giving rise to infantile complaints. Formalde hyde Is what Is employed by tho board of heath In fumigating houses during and after tho preseneo of contagious 'diseases.

I iroiu cue uc.iii, writes i; I Gardner, of Kgypt, Plym .Mass., Box 14. ' I had pa f and such a dratjijccl feclit; HEALTH to a woman means " life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." A woman in womanly ill-health cannot be said to live; she only exists. She has slavery instead of liberty. From day to day she drags about with her tho chains of dis ease. Each month sho is prisoned for days in a darkened chamber. At her best sho just manages to keep about; her back aching, her nerves trem bling, her head dizzy and reeling. And there are days when so intense is her suffering that the cry of Mariana leaps to her lips: "Oh God! I am aweary, and 1 would that I were dead." Just how true to the life is this glimpse of suffering may be gathered from the case oi JUST ONE VOMAN. "Your medicine almost raised me from the dead," writes Mrs. Edwin H. lymouth County, i pain all over me lrajrKed fecliucr it seemed I 'could not do niv house work. I had to isit down to wash the dishes, oven, and also to do some of mv other wotk. too. ,tt the year 1897 I wis so sick I did not rare to live and prayed tnany times that God would take the. Then I thought of my little boy and my husband, and thought it would be dreadful to go and leave them behind ; so one day I was looking over my papers and found a little book 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 few lilies to him, and in a few clays receivedan answer. I decided to try his mcdicinc3, and to-day I am a well woman. I have no headache, no pain at all. I ussel always to have head aches previous to the monthly period, and such pain that I would roll on the floor in agony. This sometimes would occur every two weeks, and I would be very weak afterward. I was in pain all over. My feet would slip from under me when I would try to go across the loom, and I could not walk any dis tance without being in pain. Words cannot express what I suffered in two months. After I had taken one bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription I began to feel better. I took three 'bottles of 'Favorite Prescription,' and three ot 'Oolrten Medical Discovery, oiifl tiiriia inula rwC Tit Di.nvtnln THnnnn( Pellets, and was completely cured." WHAT SHALL I DO 9 How manv a woman has cried out, " What shall I do to get relief from this intolerable agony?" The best answer to that ques tion comes from some one who realizes that Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion was made to cure cer tain diseases and not cer tain women. In plain words, " Favor ite Prescription " regulatos the periods, dries weaken ing drains, heals inflam mation and ulceration, and cures female weak ness. It takes no account of women, except as the victims of the disease, be cause every woman is ex 'ictly alike with respect to organic structure. If " Fa vorite Prescription" cures ulceration in one woman, it will cure it in any woman. That was the logic of Mrs. Adams' hus band ; WHAT DOCTORS SAID. "I had internal trouble very badly until it resulted in ulcers of the ute rus," writc9 Mrs. Mary Adams, of Grassycrcek, Ashe County, N. C. "1 was troubled with it so that I never slept a night for seven weeks. The doctors said I could not be cured, but I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and ' Pleasant Pel lets.' After taking two bottles I could slccrt all nicht. and after takitiL' six 1 bottles of ' Favorite Prescription,' and j two of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' and three vial.s of ' Pleasant Pellets ' my case was cured. I had told my husband that I would have to die, as it seemed I could not live. He told mc to put faith in Dr. Pierce's medicine, for it had cured others nnd would cure mc. So it did, and I thank God and your medicine for saving my life." SHE WAS A WRECK. "I had Inflammation of the internal organs and hemorrhage for three months so that I could not turn over in bed without help ; and soreness of the abdo men, and also bladder trouble," writes Mrs. Jennie Lcc, of Lcthridgc, Alberta r! XT f T PnHnitn lit.. .m T iyiat., i. A,, wuuuiia, in ia.k, i was a complete wreck, and the local , doctor's medicine would not stay on ' my stomach, so I had to stop taking it, I and he told my husband I had to be kept ouiet, and fie had but little hotefor me. I I h.fppcncd to pick up a paper with 1 your advertisement in it and I thought ' 1 would try your medicines. 1 have taken seven bottles of ' Favorite Pre scription,' six of ' Golden Medical Dis covery ' and three of Pleasant Pellets,' and from the first day I commenced with them I began to get better, and soon got as well as ever," HOW A WELL WOMAN FEELS. "I feel like a new woman," writes Mia Annie Stephens, of Ucllevillc, Wexxl Co., West Va. "I took several bottlc9 of the 'Favorite Prescription and of the 'Golden Medical Discovery.' I have no headache now, and no pain in my side any more. No bcaring-tlown pain any more. I think that there is no medicine like Dr. Pierce; medicine. 1 tiiank vou verv mucn lor wnat voti have done for mc your medicine has done mc much good." Here and there a woman is found who is different from tho average of her sex.

I'lmJ' 'ifKt -irtrrrr;- towiS?iCvviWtsi v It is not the easy cases only that are cured by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion. Speaking in general, after everything else has failed and doctors have said " the case is hopeless," " Favorite Prescription " is used as a last resort. It always helps. It almost always heals. Here is another case whero tho doctor had but '"little hope," and "Favorite Pre scription" had help and healina The evidence that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion makes weak women strong and sick women well is overwhelming. More than that : it makes old women new. who have been organically, but in a cor tain delicacy of organism and sensitiveness, which need to be considered in her treatment. To her and to all women Women j suffering from dieaso in prema-, its chronic forms, Dr. Pierce turely aged by pain arc gives the invitation to con restored to youthf ulness. suit him by letter free. The eye brightens, the This free consultation by cheek rounds and red-, letter places at the disposal dens, tho form fills out. of weak and sick women The woman not only feels , the medical advice and like a new woman, but she fatherly counsel of one of looks like a new womou. , the foremost specialists in tho treatment and cure of diseases of women. In a littlo over thirty years Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to tho Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., assisted by his staff of nearly a score of physi cians, has treated and cured more than half a million women. This offer of freo consul tation by letter, therefore, must not be comounded with tho offers of "free medical advice," made by those who are not physi cians and whoso advice on disease is consequently not only worthless, but dan gerous. There is no similar offer of free medical consulta tion and advice, whether made by man or woman, which has behind it an in stitution of NATIONAL FAME like the Invalids' Hotel and Surrrical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., or a special ist of Dr. Pierce's standing, with an associate staff of nearly a score of assistant physicians. All correspondence is strictly private and sa credly confidential. Write, without fear or fee, to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. There is no alcohol in " Favorite Prescription," and it is absolutely free from opium, cocaine and every other narcotic drug. In this it differs from al most all other put-up med icines for woman's use. It is a strictly temperance and purely vegetable prep aration, and cannot disa gree with the weakest con stitution. Sometimes a dealer, for the sake of a little extra profit, will offer the cus tomer a substitute for u Favorite Prescription " as "just as good." If you want the medicine tnat cured Mrs. Gardner, Mrs. Lee, and Miss Stephens, and thousands more, re member it was Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. There's nothing else "just as good. JUST F&R THE ASKING and the expense of mail inc; only, you can obtain Dr. Pierce's great work, The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser, free. This great work contains 1008 pages and deals with the facts vital to womanly health and happiness. The cloth boimd book is sent free on receipt of 31 one-cent stamps, the cost of ' mail ing only.

ANOTHER DEADLOCK IN SCHOOL BOARD Tho AdherentB of Professor Bryden When His Election as Principal of High School Failed, Voto Against Entire Corp3 of Iligh School Teachers and Tio Them Up Other Incidents of tho Mooting'.

A part of this incident was the expectant feellnR nf the directors as to how Mr. Swlcert would vote on this name. They looked foiwntd to his vote nnd when he said "nay" the members broke into a laugh. The teachers who aie kept In sus pense, for no apparent reason but the failure to ngiee on a pilnclpal, are: A.
