The insurance companies in which
j. c. Berners building is insured have
made satisfactory settlement with him
for the damage done by the recent fire
at his store. The companies are repre-
sented by Mrs. $. L. Hayes, and Mr.
Berner states that he is highly pleased
at the promptness displayed in paying
the claims. The district agent, Mr.
Thesis, of Wilkesbarre, was well salts
fled with the work performed at the
fire by the hose company. He stated
that few buildings escape total dcstruc-
tion when fire originates near kcro-
senc tank or an elevator shaft. In Mr.
Berncr's case both of these had to be
contended with, and for that reason the
qucnching of the fire so quickly was re-
garded by him as excellent work. This
is not the first instance in which Free
lands iiremcn have been praised by in
surance agents for their efficiency.

There is more catarrh in this section

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescrb-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incura5le. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires corstitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J.. Cheney & Co..
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from ten drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces Of the sys-
TEN. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails TO cure. Send for
