After many years of talk and discus
sion, there is at last a prospect of a
new station house, or, at the least, a
remodelling of the old one In North
Scranton.
Mayor Moir yesterday, in company
with Chairman Keller, of common
council, Select Councilman Finlay Ross
and Chief of Police Robling, made an
inspection with a view to remedying
the existing evils.
The place. which is in a cellar below
the hose house occupied by the Liberty
and Niagara Hose companies, was
found to be in its usual horribly un-
sanitary condition. All decided that It
was no place to imprison any human
being.
Three possible plans Of relieving the
difficulty are suggested by the mayor.
The first is the putting of the station
house in the best sanitary condition;
the second, renting of another cellar or
small store and fitting 1t up for station
purposes; third, remove one of the
companies from the hose house to some
other section of North Scranton now
ncedinS better fire protection and fit
ting up the room made vacant as
combination station house and police
court room. 1t is thought that this
could be done for about $500.
The mayor will in all probability rec
ommend either one of the above plans
to the consideration of councils at their
next meeting

MAJOR J. A. MADISON.

Major Algernon A. Bamson of the
Tenth Volunteer regiment, stationed at
Macon, Ga, in a recent letter to DR..
Hartman from Washington, d. c.,
says: II think there is no better medi-
cine on earth than your Pe-ru-na for
catarrh. 1t has surely cured me. 1t
would take volume to tell you all the
good it has done for me. Pe-ru-na is
the greatest remedy ever prepared,
and l think have tried them ALL"
Mr.. Ben L. Griffin, postmaster at
Banner. Miss, writes the following in
regard to his wife. Mr.. GriIlln says:
MY wife suffered with catarrh of the
head for four years. She tried several
different doctors, and many kinds of
medicine recommended for such trou-
bles as she was afflicted with. She had
a disagreeable headache with an awful
soreness in her nose, and sometimes
breathing was very difficult. / heard
of your medicine through your cir
culars, and decided to give it a trial.
After she had taken only one bottle
she began to feel SO much better that
she continued taking it, and after the
use of two and one-half bottles she
was entirely cured She recommends
Pe-ru-na to all women, believing it to
be especially beneficial to them"

applied to several doctors I was not

OF the remedy, Pe-ru-na, through a
friend who had used it, I took Peru

entirely cured. l have every reason to
think my cure a permanent one, as it
has been year since then. I can
heartily recommend Pe-ru-na as a ca

Thomas Gahan.
There are thousands Of people who
do not believe that catarrh can be
cured. The reason for this is. they had
chronic catarrh many years They
have been taught that catarrh is a
local disease. They have tried to cure
their catarrh with local remedies. They
have used sprays and gargles, inhala-
tions and fumigations, and still they
have catarrh just the same. Theses
things sometimes help them temper
arily, but they soon relapse into their
former condition again.
The trouble with all this Is, that
catarrh is not local disease. 1t is a
systemic disease, and can only he
cured by the faithful use of systemic
remedies. Catarrh once in the system
cannot be removed by using local
remedies. The very best that local
reHlSuleS can 90 Is 70 uSSudSe SOIIle
diGagreeable symptoms.
Pe-ru-na is a systemic catarrh re-
onedy. 1t meets the enemy in its
stronghold within the svstem. Gentle
and persistently it eradicates the di-
sease from the system. Pe-ru-na Is
the only systemic ratarrh remedy vet
devised which cures cararrh. Up to
date there has been no other remedy
that will, In anv degree, take the place

desire simply to say that there is not

today that is not at Our command, if
e we wish to handle it. This being
the fact it follows as a matter of
course that we take what we con-
slider the very best from the many

That's the reason why we maintain
our supremacy in the glove trade.
