THERE is A BALM IN GILEAD.
The success which has marked Cream
Balm, a catarrh remedy, prepared by
Ely Bros, Owego, N. Y, is indeed mar
velous. Many persons in Pittston and
vicinity are using it with most satisfacto-
ry results. A lady down town is recov-
ering the sense of smell which she has
not enjoyed for fifteen years through the
use of the balm. She had given up her
case as incurable. Mr.. Barber the drug
gist, has used it in his family and com
mends it very highly. In another col
umn. young Tunkhannock lawyer,
known to many of our readers, testifes
that he was cured of partial deafness.
1t is certainly very eflicacious remedy.
