The Old and the New.


Changes take place in the medical pro-
fession as in all branches of science We
believe the greatest good will follow that
generous offer made by DR.. Greene, of 35
West 18th Street, New York, who invites
all persons, far and near, suffering from
any form of disease, to write him de-
scription of their complaints, and be will
send them, free of charge, complete ex-
PLANTATION of their diseases, with advice
how to be cured. He gives most careful
and explicit attention to all letters and
explains each symptom so carefully that
you cannot fail to understand exactly
what ails you.
DR.. Greene is our most successful spec.
ialist in curing nervous and chronic dis
eases. He is the discoverer of that ia.
nous medicine, DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy. which is doing
such vast amount of good all over the
world. He uses nothing in his practice
but harmless vegetable remedies, which
can in no manner injure you. This great
system of giving consultation and advice
through letter correspondence, free Of
charge, is especially important to the poor
and those living at distance from large
cities, as such consultation and advice
were formerly attended by great expense
The doctor is having wonderful success in
treating the sick through letter CORE
spondence, and if you will write hin
about your disease 1t will undoubtedly
lead to your cure.

The Paw of the Police.

The subject of police and the amount OF
salary to he paid them will undoubted-
ly be given some extra attention at the
next town meeting. There are many who
believe now as they have always con-
tended that our officers do not receive
pay IN proportion to the duties required
of them. True. the argument has been
that the police have made good thing
out of the arrest of tramps, but there are
those who think that if decent salary
GERS would not have been compelled to
resort to the business they engaged in.
However, that has been pretty we'll
broken up, and if we want police protec-
ton we should pay for it. 1t is all nom
sense to ask any man to patrol the town
all night in all kinds of weather for SIS a
week. The argument has always been
advanced that under a special law the
township could not pay over $500 per year
for police business. There is some doubt
on this point, however, as there have
been many laws and amendments. passed
whereby "inconsi stent" and special
laws have been repealed. The township
of Chester pays considerable more than
Northampton does for the same work.
The law under which we are supposed
to be acting was passed about 1876, and
was scheme to avoid the agitation of in
corporation. Our population has increas-
ed very much since then, and the need of
police protection has been shown more
than once. Pay the police decent com
pensation, with the understanding that
the persistent following of the tramp
trade would involve dismissal from the
force

the Republican Senate to help it out of

the truth of the allegation, and expressed
Indignation that his name should have
been used in such connection. 1.-THE
story" be said, sis absurd. No such
was ever made to me, and
no money was ever offered. In my iudg-
ment the scheme is one laid by race track
interests to hold the Democratic Senators,
who have grown weary of the deadlock.
The story, am satisfied, was told with
that purpose in view, but will, think,
have the opposite effect"

need to beware OF the sham
reductions now freely adver-
tised. Before the writer is an
alleged 6argaim-a dozen Nap
kins for which a conhding pur-
chaser paid So, considering
them cheap because redmced
from SIS. Beside them an
other dozen from one of our
regular lines, exactly the same
in make, size, count of thread
and 0alue that have been selling
here in the regular way for eight
years at S..
The merchant that sold them
at S. and reduced them to S.
doubtless thought he was giving
a bargain-honest bit ignorant.
Ignorance is a fault that may be
pardoned, imposition upon a
conhding public is a crime. But
there is poor consolation in los
ing money even by honest ig-
norance.
