The open gas stove was the cans? of
another sad death in New Castle, la-t
week. Three boys got out of bed and
began playiug around the room when
the nightdress of the little :! year-old
took fire from the stove. His screams
soon brought the mother to her child s
assistance, but when she reaf-lied him
he was a veritable human torch. The
flames had shot up over his head
and.though she quickly smothered them
with a comfort she grasped from the
bed. it was too late. A doctor was sent
for at once, but he saw nothing could la
done to save the boy, and administered
opiates toqniet the awful pain he was
suffering, lie lingered a little over an
hour when death earned

THE OLD HOMESTEAD.
Park Theatre, Monday, March 2:1.
The coming anil going of the "odsbods'
"gad zooks" drama, with its clashing
steel, its swashbuckling and impossible
situations, have not disturbed the equa
nimity of the real live, Hesh and blood
drama as exemplified in "The Old
Homestead." Time and varying condi
tioos of dramatic taste have been una
ble to interrupt its successful vogue and
from reports the capacity of tne thea
tres everywhere is the rule for this fine
old play. Particularly attractive as k
feature of the forthcoming production
will be the appearance ot Dtnmau
Thompson himself in his well-known
characterization of the typical Yankee
farmer, "Joshua Whiteomb."
NOT GUILTY—MARCH 27.
"Not Guilty" which is a product of
that resourceful dramatist, Joseph L"
Brandt, comes to the Park Theater the

MODERN MISERS.
Hen Who Starve Themselves
to Accumulate Money.
There is a certain fearful fascination
about the stories of the misers of the
past. The money they accumulated was
of no more practical value to them than
the trinkets stolen and secreted by some
magpie or jackdaw. They hid it from
the sight and use of men and in silence
and secret gloated over the useless
wealth. To gather it they litfed on
crusts or offal, grudged clothes to cover
them and fire to warm them, lived
ktarved lives and in not a few cases died
of starvation. That was the old-time
miser. The modern miser resembles
this man of the past in the particular
that he frequently dies of starvation.
In his eagerness to gather money he
pays small heed to the claims of health.
He eats anything, anyhow, anywhen,
and anywhere. He doesn't eat crusts
by any means nor spare his purse to fill
his stomach. The mistake he makes is
in thinking that when a man has filled
his stomach, that is the end of the bnsi
ness of feeding. Instead of being the
end of feeding it's only the beginning.
There is no value in food unless it is
digested, converted into nutrition and
assimilated. These processes depend
upon the healthfulness of the stomach
and the other organs of digestion and
nutrition. When these organs are dis
eased they cannot extract the nutrition
from the food received into the stomach
and the body becomes weak through
lack of nourishment. One day this
"weakness" begins to find a special de
velopment in some chief organ, heart,
liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., to which the
man succumbs. The doctor's certificate
reads "heart disease," "kidney disease,"
as the case may be.
But the real reading of the certificate
should be:
STARVED TO DEATH.
The truth of this statement is appar
ent The body is sustained by food
digested and assimilated. But the body
is made up of its parts and organs, and
when the stomach is «weak," digestion
imperfect, and the nutrition extracted
from food inadequate to the needs of the
body, tht result is shared by every part
and organ of the body. For this reason
no man is stronger than his stomach,
and no organ sustained by the stomach
can be stronger than the stomach.
Therefore when we hear of "weak"
stomach we are pretty sure we are going
to hear in time of " weak " heart, " weak"
lungs, "weak" kidneys, or weakness of
some other organ of the body dependent
on the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition.
Now these things being true whe« a
man has heart " trouble," liver "trouble,"
Subscribe for the CITIZEN.
kidney "trouble," etc., where is the fiiM
place to look for the cause of the dis
ease? Why. where else can it be but
the stomach ? The most probable causa
of these forms of " weakness " is defici
ent nutrition resulting from the "weak*
condition of the stomach and othet
organs of digestion and nutrition. And
if these diseases of heart, liver, lungs,
kidneys, etc., begin in the stomach they
must be cured through the stomach.
IT'S AN EVERY DAY AFFAIR
to receive letters reporting the curt of
diseased kidneys, weak heart, torpid
liver, or lung " trouble " through the use
of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Di»-
covery.
But one may say, "'Golden Medical
Discovery ' is a medicine for the atom*
ach and blood, in particular."
Exactly so. And that is why it cures
diseases repiote from the 6tomach but
which have their origin in disease of the
stomach and other organs of digestioa
and nutrition.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery cures diseases of the stomach .and
digestive and nutritiv*
systems. The food taken
into the body is then con
verted into nutrition
which is supplied to
heart, lungs, kidneys, and
other organs which ar«
made strong by nutrition.
Disease is thrown off.
New strength comes to
every tissue and fiber at
the body.
"I Buffered for fou*
years with pain in my
stomach so that at times
I couldn't work nor eat,"
writes Mr. Frank Snath, of
Granite, Chaffee Co.,Calo.
" I wrote to you about mjr
sickness ana wms told to
use your medicine, which
I did with good results.
I only used four bottles
of your 'Golden Medical
Discovery,' and must sav
that I am entirely cured,
and feel like a new man,
and I can highly recom
mend your medicine to
any sufferer."
" 1 was troubled with
malarial fever of about three yean*
standing and was under doctors' cars
for quite a time," writes Mr. J. F. Kidd,
of Parmleysville, Wayne County, Ky.
"They bad"almost given me up, and my
suffering was very great. My pulse was
weak, breath short and I had severe pajns
in back, head and legs. Had palpitation
of heart, and from June ist, 1895, to
May ist, 1898, I was not able to do a
day's work. I purchased five bottles of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
and before I had finished taking the first
two bottles I was very much better of
my disease of three years' standing. I
continued taking the medicine, ana by
the time the fifth bottle was gone I was
a well man. I can cheerfully recom
mend Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery to any similar sufferer."
"In 1898, one of my daughters was
suffering on accottat of a severe cough,
hectic fever, wasting of flesh and other
symptoms of diseased lungs," writes Rev.
Joseph H. Fesperman, of Barium Springs,
Iredell Co., N. C. "I promptly gave her
Dr. R. V. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery with gratifying success, and she
now enjoys excellent health. This ex
perience caused me to recommend Dr.
Pierce's medicines to my neighbors, who,
without exception, need them with fa
vorable results. This being'tnie, I here
by heartily endorse your medicines."
SIMPLY GRAND.
"Your book, the 'People's Common
Sense Medical Adviser,' is all that one
could wish," writes Mrs. S. J. Simpson,
of 151 South Fourth Street, 9an Jose,
California, " and more than could be ex
pected in one volume. It is simply
grand, and should be in every home."
