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.

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

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

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.

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.

It is not the easy cases
only that are cured by Dr.

after everything else has
failed and doctors have
said " the case is hopeless,"
" Favorite Prescription " is
used as a last resort. It

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
