PENBROOK CUT OFF j
BY BIG SNOWSTORM
Traffic by Road Almost Impos
sible Since Last Saturday's
Heavy Fall
Special to The Telegraph
Penbrook, Pa., Feb. 18. —Since Sat
urday this town has been almost com
pletely isolated from the surrounding
world and all efforts to break through
this have proved unavailing.
All of the roads for miles are piled
deep with snow drifts, the snow In
many cases being from eight to fifteen
feet deep. Gangs of the townspeople
have worked steadily in their efforts
to break through but none of the
roads have been used as yet.
Many teams attempted to get
through but found it impossible. Sev
eral wagons have been abandoned for
the time being by their owners who
removed the horses and permitted the
wagons to stick in the snow. Work
was resumed to-day and it is ex
pected that a path wide enough for
wagons will be shoveled through.
The Atlantic Refining Company I
tank wagon from Harrisburg with six
horses attached was one of the first
teams to attempt to get into town to
day. None of the residents have been
able to send any mail and none has
come out since the storm on Friday.
When the Stsmach
Goes Back to Work
Then Is the Whole System Glad.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
Will Quickly Put the
Stomach In Shape
When the stomach fails to do its
work properly the whole machine of
man is unstrung and wholly incapable
vt work. This condition obtains from
the tiniest nerve to the big, strong,
pumping heart.
It is a wise law of nature that has
made the stomach man's strongest or
gan, but when it stops work man ought
to realize that it does so because it
can continue no longer.
"Hooray! Stunrl'd DjxiK-pnln Tablets
Are the Heul Appetite II ringer*."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cer
tainly give the stomach the repair it
needs and is always crying aloud for.
A tablet taken after each meal will
In the course of several hours become
a portion of the digestive fluids. It
will build up these fluids. First in the
Btomach, then in the intestines.
The liver is the storehouse of the
body. Here are assembled all the re
serve fluids of the system and here the
various Ingredients of Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets mingle with the faulty nat
ural juices and strengthen them or if
they are too strong then they will be
reduced to their proper strength and
proportion.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
a single ingredient, one grain of which
is sufficient to digest 3,000 grains of
food. Just think how gratefully such
an element is received into a body that
cannot digest at all without a new
weakening of the already depleted
juices.
Go to your druggist this very day
and obtain a box of Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets, price, 50 cents. A week's
trial will make you a new man and
your stomach will go back to work.—

WHAT TO DO FOR N URALGIA
The one great symptom of neuralgia
is pain; the one great cause is lack of
nutrition for the nerves, in plain lan
guage—starved nerves.
There are two things to do for any
form of neuralgia. Apply heat to the
affected part to soothe the pain, and
feed the nerves by taking a tonic con
taining tho elements needed by them.
Heat, as afforded by hot flannel, hot
water bags, etc,, lulls the Inflamed
nerves into temporary quiet. It does
not cure. Not until the nutrition of
the nerves is restored will the inflam
mation subside.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills furnish to
the blood the needed elements and
the blood conveys them to the nerves.
The only way of getting food or medi
cine to the nerves Is through the
blood. Remember that.
Neuralgia is a general term. It
means inflammation of a nerve. It is
given different names according to the
nerve affected. Sciatica is neuralgia of
the sciatic nerve. Application of heat
will soothe the pain in all forms of
neuralgia and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
will correct the condition that caused it.
Your own druggist sells Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills and the Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., will
send you a little book on "Home Treat
ment of Nervous Disorders" for the
asking.—Advertisement. ,

OLD SUBSCRIBERS

Quite a little sheaf of letters

Ledger's life. The period varies
but the loyalty does not.
Says one of the class of 1840:
