MAGNETISM
Magnetism as q Curative in
Chronic Diseases.

1t Is no longer a doubt. but demon
strated fact. that the power Of magnetism
and electricity as used In the cure Of
chronic diseases Is the greatest aux
iliary to medicine that is known to science
at the present day. and some of the most
wonderful cures have been performed by
the proper use of the above mentioned
powers. DR.. F. Il. Smith and stan have
employed those powers in the cure of
chronic diseases for many years with the
most remarkable good results. as the fol-
lowing case will show: Mrs. GrOate. n
lady about 60 years old. came to DIR. Smith
and stan. She was suffering with strict
ure OF the throat for about eight years.
For over six years she had not swallowed
mouthful of solid food. She had been
compelled to live on tea coffee, milk and
the thinest kind of soups. She had been
doctoring for years, but found no relief.
She was told by several doctirs that there
was no cure, that all she could hope for
was death. which would come by degrees,
or. In other words. that the passage to her
stomach would close and she would starN Q
to death. Living In utter despair friend
called her attention to an advertisement
In the paper Of the cures made by DR..
Smith and staff. and contrary to the ad-
vice Of the family physician she COM
menced taking magnetic treatments. She
was told that she had simply thrown her
money away, that no doctor could cure
her. but despite of all those protestations
she Is today a living testimonial to the
healing virtues Of magnetism. for she was
absolutely and permanently cured of her
affiiction by DR.. Smith and staff. II you
are suffering with any complaint call on

THE COMPANY MUST OBEY.
Aud Move Their Car Tracks on Belmont
and Other Streets.

Aud Move Their Car Tracks on Belmont
and Other Streets.
The paving Of Belmont street Is sub
feet upon which the residents of that
part Of the city are feeling sore. The
ordinance has passed both councils and
the contract has been formally award
ed, yet nothing has been done toward
commencing the work. The reason for
this Is inaction Of the Traction COM
pany. Before anything can be done the
tracks must be changed from the side
of the street to the center. The COM
pany agreed to this, but as yet have
done nothing. The season Is getting
late, and the necessity Of commencing
Is seen and many complaints have been
made to both councils.
They have done little toward hurry
ing up the work. notwithstanding the
appeals Of the people. At last meeting.
however, they woke up and an ordin-
ance compelling the Traction company
to move their tracks was introduced.
The time given the company to begin
the work was not decided upon. City
Solicitor Stuart is out Of the city at
present, and it was thought best to
await his return. The councilmen
mean business. They are tired Of the
course pursued by the Traction COM
pany. and mean to make them hurry up
the work
Legal assistance will be lent the city
solicitor il needed.

A Trip Enjoyed BY Three CarbondaIe
Cyclists.
On last Friday G.. NJ. Patterson, w.
r. Moon and John Matey. of Forest
City. started on a bicycle trip in which
they meant to ride to Harrisburg. and
drom there return to this city by rail-
A change was made in their route,
and. instead to taking in Harrisburg,
they made a circuit. passing through
Williamsport, and reaching this city
late Monday evening.
The trip was more pleasant in that
1t was nearly devoid Of accidents. At
Taylorville, however Matey was run
into by a green cylist and his front
wheel smashed. This was fixed at
Wilkes-Barre.
They passed through Nanticoke.
Shickshinny and down the toe-path to
Berwick. From thence they went to
Bloomsbury, Danville and Williams
port. They left Williamsport at 11.SO
Sunday morning, when they started on
their return, coming by way OF Can
ton, Towanda and Tunkhannock.
They reported excellent roads, which
readily may be seen by the distance
covered. In the four days they were
gone they went nearly 1886 miles, which
gave them an average OF about s. miles
per day.

oCO;n's Financial Fool. -

Job had lots OF trouble and plenty
Of things to worry about. He was,
however, O wise man, and knew what
he was talking about when he said +:
"Oh, that mine adversary would
write book" He knew that il he
could get his enemies to put their
charges against him down in black
and white he could answer and refute
them.
II IS fortunate for the sound money
men of this country that their adver-
sary has Mt last written o book =
Coins Financial School" which is
being accepted as the bible of the free
coinage men. This book is written in
an interesting, chatty style, and has
some good cartoons n 1t, but it is
filed from front to back with absurd
and false statements about money and
finance. Tho book itself lis gigan'
tic fraud in that no such school
and no such dialogues as it de-
scribes ever took place. The whole
thing is fully exposed by pamphlet
called COINS Financial Fool" just
published by the Reform Club at 81
William street, New York City. Any
one who reads Coins Financial
School,. and who is inclined to take i:
seriously, should also read this little
pamphlet, the price Of which is five
cents. A single number viii, however
be sent free to anyone who writes FOL
it, mentioning this paper.

Tho Greatest Labor Saving Machine.

Money Is convenionco--a labor
saving machine. When several thou
sand persons, each making different
articles, wish to exchange with each
other o that all will hive full sup.
ply OF articles, IL is much easier for
them TO do so by means OF money--a
common standard OF value -than to
try to barter with oaoh other.
Imagine man with bag OF pota-
toes going around to exchange ~ pc.
tatoos with ono man for gallon OF
oil, Is with another for yard OF
calico, 10 with another for pound OF
sugar, 90 with another for straw hat.
~ with another for apaper OF pins and
80 on until he has spent whole day
exchanging his bag OF potatoes for n
few articles that no could have bought
at u country store in ten minutes with
tho 81. 90 Tor which he could have sold
his potatoes Money, Is. perhaps. the
greatest labor saving machine ever in
vented.
But it is only labor saving ma
chine. II will not work itself or grow
when left alone. II produces nothing
when left to itself. II will not make
its possessor rich unless II is used rs n
labor saving machine; and when there
is enough money in use to facilitate
exchange, any moro is M unnecessary
and useless as are dozen moving ma
chimes on farm where only one il
needed. Tho trouble with tho silver
greenback men is that they think that
all that is needed to make us all rich
is more money. Does farmer raise
any more hay because he has dozen
NOV ers instead of one? A little sober
thinking by few million voters will
settle the money question forever.
without going through the hard ex-
perimerts with cheap money that have
always resulted in failure.
