MIRACLES IN medicine.
The Wonderful Progress Made Within
The Past Few Years.
Diseases Thai Our Mothers Thought InCurabIe
Now Cured by Paine's Celery Compound.

1t is difficult, almost impossible, to over
estimate the Importance of recent advance
in medicine and surgery.
In surgery there is the application of the
X-ray in determining complicated frac-
lures.
in medicine there is the serum-treat-
ment for germ diseases, and more impor-
tant STILL the extended use of Paines eel
cry compound in the treatment of the
many diseases that arise from a faulty
or impaired nervous system.
This class of ailments causes more suf-
fering and earlier deaths than all others,
and that is why 50 much public promi-
nence was at once given to Paine's celery
compound when its discovery was first
announced by Professor Phelps, of Dart
mouth college.
The rapid and sure way that Paine's Gel
cry compound cures neuralgia, rheuma-
tsm and nervous debility is marvellous
even in the eyes of this wonder-w working
quarter of the century.
Ancient miracles We're contrary to nat
tural laws, whereas the remarkable power
of Paine's celery compound to make peo-
pie we'll, comes from a better under
standing of the natural causes of dis
ease.
That wonderful set of nerves known as
the "sympathetic nervous system" that
knits every part of the body together and
harmonzes all, is understood today as
never before. Many persons are not

Pop" Newton chewed his gum and
chased his thumbs at his old accus-
toned place in front OF the bench
which on this occasion was a large
fiat office desk; Willis CCston was
there with his array Of double-pointed
pencils and near the door stood demure
little Mr. Evans sad because he had
but two occasions on which he could
exercise his right of pounding the
floor with his gold-topped ensigma OF
authority-once when a chic little Miss
burst in with an "Oh! Kittie'--and
rushed out again with an "Oh
HeaVens!" when she saw a court in
session where she was wont to eX-
change gossip with her friend the type
writriX: the other was when the SOL
emnity of the court was traduced by
a griny face intrudng with "Trooth-
ertime slastedeeshun."
The change of base relieved the case
Of some Of it's tediousness and it is
thought the comfortable new quarters
were in no small way responsible for
inducing Judge Gunster to grant the
request for an extra session next week.
The case has been on for a whole week
and is liable to continue for another
week if the patience OF the court holds
out. ITS only 1897 was the laconic
reply of President Lee of the Church
company when asked yesterday If the
ease wasn't nearly finished.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-01-09

aware that any such nerves exist They
do not know that nothing goes on in any
part of the body that every other part
does not instantly know Of" The close
ness of this sympathy is familarly Illus
trated by headaches, Indigestion, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, etc. About every case
of sleeplessness, nervousness and dys-
pepsia is a sympathetic strike" by brain,
nerves or stomach, induced by the lower
ing of the general health.
People who think to get rid of these
troubles by some medicine that disregards
the general health of the body are on the
wrong track. In getting such diseases as
neuralgia and rheumatism out of the sys-
ten Paine's celery compound proceeds at
once to restore normal appetite and reg
ulate the nerves, as the foundation for
building up the health and vigor.
1t regulates the bowels without delay,
and sees to it that the poisonous humors
that are bursting through the skin, in
what are, for purposes of classifying,
called skin diseases are given a ready
outlet. on this basis of purified blood
and regulated nerves the permanent cure
of every form of blood diseases, such as
eczema, salt rheum, bad complexion, is
now assured by this really wonderful
remedy.
If the reader of this is not in perfect
health let him simply try Il first bottle OF
Paine's celery compound and carefully
note the results.

The crew of the Delaware and Hudson

bald two weeks ago and which caused her
death at the Lackawanna hospital were
examined last night by Coroner Longstrcet
before the jury in the case on the arrival
Of the train at 7.45 o'clock at the Delaware
and Hudson station. Their testimony m
dicated that the woman was not run down
at the Archibald crossing, but near that
point, and that all possible means were
employed to stop the train and that proper
warning signals were sounded. Alter
hearing the testimony the jury adjourned
to meet tonight in Coroner Longstreet
office.

He was under the stimulus of the liquids
he was in the habit of dispensing to the
thirsty and the first victim of his abnormal
activity was a fellow bartender. Among
other offensive acts he seized a spittoon
and made determined efforts to test the
relative endurance of the frightened bar

scene and thenceforward these guardians

OVERDOSE OF POISON.
Photographers Stickler Took Forty
Grains of AlOes to Aid Digestion.

Forty grains of aloes nearly caused
the death of Jacob Stickler supposed
to be Philadelphia photographer, who
was admitted to the LackaWanna hos
pital under peculiar circumstances last
night.
About $50 o'clock Stickler and two
women arrived at the hospital in a
cab. The latter said he had taken
aloes for a digestive disorder, but had
taken an overdose Instead of four or
five grains, he had swallowed forty.
The stomach pump was put to use and
the stomach washed out,
Before arriving at the hospital an
antidote had been obtained at drug
store, That precaution probably
saved Stickler's life. Opiates We're ad-
ministered at the hospital and at mid
night he was asleep and out of danger
Particulars of Stickler's identity, the
names of his women companions and
his Scranton address were facts which
the hospital authorities failed to OBJ

A two weeks term of superior court
bank building, corner of Wyoming
avenue and Spruce street, was yester
day honored by being made the seat of
J4ackaWanna County's equity court.
The fact that the superior court
judges would require the Federal court
room for consultation today and that
the janitor wanted q days grace for
putting the place in superior shape,
compelled Judge Gunster, who is pre-
siding in equity court this week, to
move to some other quarters. None of
the court rooms in the remodelled
county temple of justice are yet in
shape and so His Honor. had to cast
about for some other quarters. Wat
son, Diehle, Hall q Kemmerer, attor-
neys for the plaintiff, in the case of
the John Church company against
Guernsey Bros which is-and has been
all Week-on trial, preferred the use
of their suit of rooms and this being
agreeable to c. II. Welles and S. b.
Price, attorneys for the Guernseys,
Judge Gunster acquiesced and the
prefer was accepted.
1t was a real court too just like is
wont to be held in the regular court
rooms. Judge Gunster relaxed none

CANNON MAY BE RELEASED
Attorneys Have Begun Proceedings
Along a New Line That Promises a
Further Airing OF the Case.

Among the probabilities Of the near
future is the release from the county
Jail of James Cannon, of the West
Side, who has been confined there Tor
contempt of court since June, 1894.
Cannon it will be remembered was
party in an ejectmcnt suit for the pos
session of a lot on the corner of SWEET
land and Pleasant streets in the Four
teenth ward, the other parties pelng
Thomas Rice and Patrick Cannon, his
brother and brotherin-law respect
lively. The case dragged on from the
year 1881 until June, 1894, when court
decreed that the land belonged to
Mary Riel, wife of Thomas Riel, and
directed Cannon to sign the deed trans
fering it to her.
He refused to sign and on June 10
was committed for contempt. Various
means We're adopted to urge Cannon 10
save himself from his own rashness
but he stOlidly refused to obey the
courts mandate, saying he would rot
in prison sooner than be a party to
robbing himself of his hand-earned
property The feature of the case
which makes his obstinacy most re-
markable is that the Riels possess ana
can transfer the property, whether or
not he signs the deed.
Now his attorneys are making a new
move by which to rescue him without
compromising Cannon or the court.
1t is to secure new trial of the orig
inal case and show that Gannon's I'M
| prisonment is a fraud, accident or MIS-
| take as it is predicated on fraud, ac-
| cfdent or mistake.
Court in it's finding said that the ac-
| ton had been transmitted from COM
mon law ejectment to an equitable
| action of ejectment with condltlonal
| verdict at the request of Gannon's at
| torncys. The attorneys, John h. ScraSS
| and Ira II. Burns and Cannon hlmselt
ayoW that they never authorized or
| requested such a change or that con-
| ditional verdict be rendered.
These afiidavits are made part of a
| petition filed yesterday by Mr.. Burns
| and Richard Busted, jr, praying that
| Judgment be opened; that the verdict
| be set aside; that the former mo-
| ton for new trial, once denied, be
reopened and allowed, and that Gan
non be released from Imprisonment
| pending these proceedings.
Court granted a rule for new trial
| returnabe at the next term OF argu-
| ment court A motion for Cannon S
| release will be heard next week.
