Exciting Game Between the MinOOka

About 5000 base ball enthusiasts con-
Cregated on the brick yard grounds. Mi
nooka yesterday to witness the game be-
tween the home team and the Pittston
Reds the recognized amateur champions
of Luzerne county. The game was one
of the best seen III this vicinity this sea-
son.
John Fallon handled the sphere for Mi
nooka, and with the assistance Of Catcher
O'Neil, the reliable backstop. he had the
visitors at his mercy, only tiVe hits being
made off his delivery. Kelly was in the
box for Pittston, AMI pitched a good.
steady game. The feature of the game
was Cranes heavy hitting and Shea's one
banded catch of Burns low drive in the
third inning, with the bases full ana two
men ont, and O'Neil's clever playing. The
visitors had one stolen base on him and
he batted like a trogan.

Sir: BY the tone of the commuuc1 ion

Bottled Up!

1t certainly 10 disheartening to a pa
tient to find that the treatment he Is
given for a disease Is more disastrous
than the disease itself. Such is the
case, however, with the usual treat
ment given for diseases of the blood.
Notwithstanding the great progress
made in many branches of medicine,
the doctors have failed absolutely to
find a successful treatment for blood
poison, and the many diseases having
their origin in the blood. They give
but one kind of medicine, they know
but one treatment, and whether in
the form of powder, pill or liquid, the
Doctors prescription Is always the
same--potash or mercury.
Too much cannot be said of the harm
full and disastrous effectso OF these drugs.
The doctors are unable to rid the sys-
tenn of the poison, and direct their
efforts toward covering up the symp-
toms from view. There is but one eff
feet to be obtained from potash and
mercury-they bottle up the poison
and dry it up in the system, but it
must be remembered that they dry up
the marrow in the bones al the same
time, gradually consuming the vital
ity. Those disfiguring copper-colored
splotches are but indications of worse
results to follow. No Dor has the
system taken on the full effects of this
powerful drug than that suppleness
and elasticity of the joints gives way
to a stiffness, followed by the racking
pains of rheumatism. The form grad.

these drugs are given in such large
