sonals. The Rpneral tlmw f snow which lias
been expected for several days occurred
yesterday, and as a result the rush of
water from the hilltops of "West Scrnu
ton Hooded the lowlands, and filled
many cellars. People were at woik on
many of the streets yesterday after
noon re-dlrec-tliiR the course of the
water, and In preventing it from run
ning Into their cellars, unconsciously
turned It toward tliejr neighbors.
It was a striking Illustration of the
urgent need of tnori sewers, and par
ticularly on Pettebimo street, where the
water rushed down from the Intersect
ing streets Into u wide gully at n
frightful rate. In "West Park the water
also Hooded the sidewalks and cross
walks, and ran into several cellars, and
in the vicinity of Main avenue and
Schlager boulevard the street was lit
erally Inundated.
The block on North BromU'V ave
nue, between Swetland and Pettebone
streets, where the property holders ic
ccntly petitioned councils for a better
drainage, presented a very dilapidated
condition, and in the block between
Swetland and Lafayette streets, there
was also trouble from the general thaw.
The most tiouble experienced with
the water was In districts where no
sewers nie located, and plainly evi
denced the need of better drainage.
This applied particularly to the sec

In country
Ought, It would seem, to give exemption
from tlie diseases which prey upon the
residents of thickly populated cities.
But there is no exemption from disease,
and in the country, ns in the city, one
may see the checks crow hollow and the
eyes grow dull while the frame wastes
away with that terrible disease, con
sumption. Weak lungs are made strong by the
use of Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. It cures obstinate and stubborn
coughs, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs
and other symptoms which, if neglected
or utiskillfully treated, terminate fatally
in consumption. The action of Golden
Medical Discovery in the curing of wast
ing diseases is entirely philosophic.
Emaciation, and consequent loss of
weight, are among the most striking
symptoms of what are known as wast
ing diseases. The body is not being ade
quately nourished, and the cause of this
lack of nourishment is not lack of food
but lack of ability in the stomach and
the other organs of digestion and nutri
tion to prepare the food for the assimila
tion and nutrition of the body. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures
diseases of the stomach and the organs
of digestion and nutrition, and so en
ables the body to be nourished back to
strength in the only way by which
strength can come ; that is, by food per
fectly digested and assimilated.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is a temperance medicine. It contains
no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine or
any other narcotic.
Accept no substitute for " Discovery."
There is nothing "just as good "for you,
though many things may pay the dealer
r. larger profit.
GAZ3GHT COLES.
"The first day of this year," write Mrs. Kate
Schey, of 716 St, Paul Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis.
" I caiipht a heavy cold, which willed 011 my
lungs and brought on a hemorrhage. From
that time on until the first or April I bled from
ray lungs five different times. I was .so weak
and undone I could only do the lightest work.
The doctor told me I was going into consump
tion My breath was short ami at times I coi'ld
hardly get my breath at all. This is the state I
was in when I began to take Doctor Tierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. After the first
bottle I was much better, and I could walk two
or three blocks without trouble. My breath was
not so short and I was much improved, After
taking four bottles I could work all clay, and 1
never felt better in my life. I think your medi
cine the best in the world and I recommend it to
all who arc troubled as I was."
WILL MAKE AFFIDAVIT.
"I was sick for aliout three months, had
chills, fever, and coughed a great deal," writes
Mr V. I,. Drown, of McDearmau, Jackson Co.,
Tcnu. "Most of my neighbors and friends
thought I had consumption. I was reduced in
flesh, and was ery weak only weighed no
pounds ; my physician thought there was little
nope for my recovery.
"My wife went to the store to get some and
fi'hriii, quinine, etc., for me and n friend of mine
(Mr, W. W. McDearman), who had been taking
Ir. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery recom
mended this medicine for ine. Finally I decided
to use it, after my physician told me that it
would be good for inc. I sent and got one
bottle, and before all was tnken I welshed 149
pounds a gain of 39 pounds. I am still taking
the Golden Medical Discovery, have taken
nearly two bottles, and now weigh 163 pounds,
which is more than I ever weighed. I am still
gaining strength anil taking the Discovery.1 I
wish to say that this is a recent recovery, that
only two mouths ago I only weighed about no
pounds,
"I can and will make affidavit to this full
statement nnv time. If you wish to use this as
:. testimonial "do so. nnd I will answer nil letters
from inquiring suflerers."

Basket Ball Game Off. .
Tho attendance at St. John's hall to
see basket ball played has fallen off so
much since the beginning of Lent that
the game for last night was cancelled.
It would doubtless have been the star
attraction as the Pottsville players
have a state reputation and the De
fenders of this section who have lost
but one game In their career ot sev
eral years would have played the game
ot their life.
It Is possible that no match games
will be played until after the Lenten
season.

ONLY A SUGGESTION,
nut It Hns Frovcn or Interest
nnd Value to Thousands.
Common sense would suggest that It
0110 wishes to become fleshy and plum
It can only result from the food wo cot
and digest, and that food should bo
albuminous or llcsh-forinlng food, llkn
eggs, beefsteak and cereals! In other
words, the kind of food that inalto flenh
are the foods which form the grcate
Wirt of our dally bills of furo.
" ' 'ftS' jp - " "
But the trouble Is that while wo cat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and overwork,
does not properly digest and assimllatl
It, which Is the reason so many people
remain thin and under weight; the di
gestive organs do not completely digest
the flesh-forming beefsteak and eggs
and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who are
really continued dyspeptics, although
they may have no partlculur pain or
Inconvenience from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their preju
dices aside and make a regular prac
tice of taking, after each meal, one or
two ot Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the
food would be (fuleklj Hid thoroughly
digested, because these tablets contain
the natural peptones and diastase
which every weak stomach lacks, and
by supplying this want the stomach Is
soon enabled to regain Its natural tone
and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest ev
ery form of flesh-forming food, meat,
eggs, bread and potatoes, and this
Is tho reason they so quickly build up,,
strengthen and Invigorate thin, dys-.
petlc men, women and children.
Invalids and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit
as they contain no strong, Irritating1
drugs, no cathartic nor any harmful in
gredient. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the
most successful and most widely known
of any remedy for stomach troubles
because It Is tho most reasonable and
scientific of modern medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by every druggist In the United States
and Canada as well as in Great Britain,
at 50 cents for complete treatment.
Nothing further is required to cure;
any stomach trouble or to make thin,
nervous, dyspetlc people strong, plump
and well.
