NINETEEN CASES
' TYPHOID FEVER
Recent Outbreak Causes State
Health Department to In
vestigate Water Supply
Mcchanicsbyrg, Pa., March 26.
Typhoid fever, which has become
prevalent here during the past week,
and threatens to become epidemic,
has become a condition of much
concern. Yesterday engineers of the
State Heajth Department visited the
source of the water supply and the
results of their investigation will
soon be known. In the meantime
esidents were advised to boil all
water for drinking and cooking pur
poses.
The situation appears to have de
veloped suddenly, as people in gen
eral scarcely knew there were cases
of typhoid in town until the two
deaths occurred on Monday night,
those of Miss Delia H. Myers and
Miss Elizabeth Coft'man. It is said
• at there are at present nineteen
i .iscs in this place.

The Troubles Women Have
BY L. MAC LEAN, M. D.
Probably no man in America was
ever better qualified to successfully
treat tlie diseases peculiar to women
than Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo. Y.
The cases that come to him run
into many thousands, giving him an
experience that rarely comes to any
one man. Dr. Pierce found that in
nearly every case there were certain
vegetable growths which rarely
tailed to give prompt relief in those
feminine disorders from which so
many women suffer. He combined
these roots and herbs into a tem
perance medicine that he called Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for
that is precisely what it was. This
medicine is sold in both liquid and
tablet form by druggists everywhere.
Favorite Preseriptibn is a distinct
remedy for women and acts directly
upon the organs that characterize
the sex. It is not necessary to take
a long course of treatment with this
standard medicine. A weakly, sick
ly, baokachy, headachy, nervous, de
spondent woman, with regular or ir
regular pains—with feminine disor
ders that come in youth or middle
ge—is pretty sure to find in Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription the
exact remedy that her condition
i alls for. and to find it after a very
few doses are taken. Why women
should allow themselves to stay sick
when a very little money spent for
this remedy will probably make
tl-.em well, is something no one can
explain.
All women who suffer from femi
nine disorders are invited to write
the Faculty of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, X. Y., for free confidential
consultation and advice, no charge
being made for this high profes
> uitl service. This will enable
rive woman to benefit by the ad
• of tlie distinguished corps of
physicians which Dr. Pierce has
gathered about him in his celebrated
Buffalo institution.
U'lien constipation is present with
feminine disorders. Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets should be taken
along with Favorite Prescription.

POTTER GOES TO
i PENITENTIARY
Waynesboro Man Convicted
oi Killing Young Wife Sen
tenced by Judge Gillnn
-j t'linmbersburg. Pa.. March 26.
e The efforts of Russell \Y. Potter, of
, Waynesboro, to secure a new trial
on a charge of murder failed when
i he was sentenced in court here yes
es terday to serve from six to eight
e years in the Eastern Penitentiary.
; Potter, who is but 20 years old,
11 was accused of the murder of his
e ] 14-year-old wife, Mary Thelmax
l| (Hartzook) Potter, at their home in
.j Waynesboro, on November 23, 191 S.
j He was convicted in court in Feb
. ruary of manslaughter and his at
. ] torneys at once presented a petition
3 ' for a new trial.
,j Argument for the new trial was
1 heard by Judge W. Rush Gillan oni
' February 25 and yesterday bis de
' cree was handed down, refusing a
1 new trial and denying an arrest of
, judgment.
Potter at his trial alleged that the
shooting was an accident and that
his wife was playing with the re
, volver when it was in some man-
I j tier discharged. His attorneys,
| pleading with the court for mercy
I yesterday, renewed th,e assertion
1 that tlie shooting was an accident,
' but the court in sentencing Fot
, j ter said that he had "no doubt that
. | the young man was guilty of second
j degree murder" and that "the jury
| was merciful in its findings."
