Guessing the Disease

How often do we hear of person who has
complained for some time, who has called up
on several different doctors, each of whom
perhaps gave different name to the disease,
and gave medicines recommended to relieve
the particular disease named (but which, In
fact, was not the real trouble, for the disease
has had several names, one for each doctor
consulted) with assurance OF relief. and each
in turn failed to cure the real disease and the
unfortunate victim of guessing the disease,
continues to suffer and comes TO believe his
case incurable because doctors have made bad
guesses about his condition, treated the wroag
disease, and therefore failed to cure. Does
not such circumstance prove that the wrong
disease has been treated?
Sometimes 1t happens that person suffers
for months, or even years, with some trouble,
continually taking medicines first one thing,
then another, in an Ill advised effort TO OBJ
tain relief by guessing at the remedy as well
az the disease. Too often ply scians prescribe
in like MANNER trying first one drug, then
another until they have tried all with which
they are familiar, but the patient does not get
well; pc 4 APPS he feels better at times, but his
old trouble returns, and he continues to suffer
and drag out life devoid of many of the
pleasures which make life really worth liv-

WHY DO THEY CURE?

The question has been asked why the DE-

chronic or long standing diseases after other
phi sicians of Teputed ability fail. The ans

reasons, any one of which would seem to sat

Il told them they must not go, and
tried to read my proclamation to them,
but they crowded around me, swearing
at me and hustling me to ono side. One
man tried to grab me, and then at
tempted to get hold of him, but the
crowd then jumped on me and pounded
me about the body. I dropped my paper
aud pulled my revolver. One OF the
men tried to snatch the revolver from
me, but failed. Then he struck me an
awful blow ia the face and knocked me
to my knees. / tried to shoot him, but
my revolver would not explode. Then
the shooting commenced. 1t lasted
about half minute.

with revolvers and one with knife; the
latter made a stab at me but missed
Two men were shot just behind me to
the left. l was in the direct line of fire. -
This finished Sheriff Martins testi-
mony for Tuesday. Yesterday the cross
examination was continued by Mr..
Scarlett and brought out the fact that
the sheriff hurried from the scene after
the shooting, went to Wilkesbarre, there
told conflicting stories OF the massacre
and at II o'clock that night sent call
to Governor Hastings for troops.
Captains" Samuel Price, Aro Pardee
Platt and A. f. Hess followed in the
order given. Their stories were much
the same as that given by Martin. All
gave indications of having rehearsed
their little tales. None OF these deputy
commanders gave the order to fire on
the miners, nor did any of these do any
shooting, so they say. Their testimony
painted the strikers as a surging armed
mob which came bowling for blood down
the road. Price swore that at West
Hazleton he went among the strikers
and felt twenty-five revolvers in their
pockets.

not helped the defense any in the opn-

ence at the Central hotel on Tuesday
morning with several of Freeland's bust
ness men. The meeting had been re-
quested by the Board Of Trade and con
cerned improved railroad facilities for

President William Williamson. of the
Board of Trade, opened the meeting by
stating its object. Mr.. Bldkslee had
come prepared for the conference. and
in answer to the request to give Free
land a connection with the first train for
New York and Philadelphia, which train
carried mail to the cities and mill
workers to Weatherly and miners to
surrounding colicries, he gave figures
to show that for some time past the train
had not paid its running expense.
The question of dropping the s.. a.
NJ. and running the early train at 6. 10
a. m was discussed. but the townspcoplc
were divided on the matter. Some were
disposed to agree to this change but the
majority wished to have both trains.
The superintendent appeared very anx-
tous to arrive at satisfactory conclu-
sion and assured those present that he
would do what he could to have the
running of the early train resumed.
Among those who spoke for better facili-
ties were A. Oswald. j. C. Bcrncr and

An Appeal for n Noble Cause.

The trial OF James Martin and sixty
seven others, for the killing of Michael
Cheslak, has now covered period of
four weeks and will occupy at least two
more.
This is but one, and the first, of eigh-
teen such cases to be tried.
II, owing to the influence of the cor
porations backing these defendants and
primarily responsible for the shooting,
justice cannot be had in Luzerne county,
a change of venue will be demanded.
1t is needless to say that the expense
attending the trial of the cases has been
and will be enormous.
The defense have admitted that the
trial will cost the corporations involved
100000. Besides prosecuting the case
in court, we have many wounded miners
yet unable to work, and the widows
and orphans of the killed to provide
support for
We therefore appeal to a generous
public for help in this work OF charity
and justice.
1t involves questions of great moment
to the common people OF the land.
Questions such as government by in
junction, the intimidation OF the work
ingman in the exercise OF his citizenship
by corporations, the right OF peaceful
assembly, the right of corporations to
take human life to suppress trifiing
annoyances, such as local strikes.
Let the response to this call therefore
be prompt and generous.
