The majority Of sufferers from Asth-

treated more cases of these diseases
than any living Doctor. has achieved
success by perfecting a remedy which
not only gives immediate relief in the
worst cases, but has positively cured
thousands of sufferers who We're con-
sidered incurable. These were just as
skeptical as some of our readers now
are. DR.. Schiffmanns' remedy no doubt

THE STRUGGLE OF LIFE.
Produced IN q Splendid Manner at the
Academy Of Music

There was a top-heavy house at the
Academy of Music last night to see
Walter Sanford's melodrama, "The
Struggle of Life" which was staged
and acted In an exceptionally fine man
ner.
The scene of the melodrama Is laid
in New York city and the action Is so
distributed about Manhattan Island as
to admit Of elaborate and effective
stage settings, which have been taken
advantage Of to the fullest extent.
THE Struggleeof Life" of course, has
Its plotting villain and his opposite, the
noble. manly young man. for what
melodrama would be complete without
these essentials?
These roles are entrusted to William
Stafford and Henry Lewis. two capable,
conscientious actors. Other members
Of the company whose work deserves
mention were Nellie .Maskell. Kate Dal-
glish, Hanna Ingham. George ID.
Haines, Frank II. Riddell and Edgar
Forest. The melodrama will be repeat
ed tonight at the academy.

Tomorrow

The Jewish year of 5655 will end at
sunset tomorrow when will begin the
new year OF 5656. which, according to
the Jewish era, is from the creation of
the world.
In Scranton the event Is always cele-
brated with comparatively the same
social eclat and much more devout re-
1lgious function than Is true of the
Christian churches. The number Of
Jews who will fail to worship on this
day Is small. The Jewish New Year
and the day of atonement, occurring at
an interval of ten days from each other,
are called fearful days." and have
retained for years their former spell
which makes a deep impression on the
people of the faith.
