STORY OF A SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot Cor years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George ID. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells now such a
slave was made free. He says: My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Flee
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully inn
proved and able to DO her own work. .
This supreme remedy for female dis
eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep
lessness. melancholy, headache, back
ache. fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is godsend
to weak. sickly, run down people. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only 80 cents. Sold
by all Druggists.

at the corner of Wyoming avenue and
Third street, West PittstOn, was com-
pletely gutted by fire about 10 o'clock
last evening.
The building was a three-story one,
and the ground floors were occupied
by ]. ID. Monies grocery store and Ira
DeWitts meat market.
Two families reside above the stores.
The inmates wern in beG at the time
and awOkc to find their rooms filled
with smoke, and with difficulty made
their way out, scartiiy attired.
The fire started in the cellar, under
the grocery store, and the flames and
smoke soon communicated with the
floors above. Delay and confusion on
the part of the firemen gave the flames
a good start. The framework Of the
building still stands, but the inside is
completely ruined, with fire, water and
smoke.
The loss to the building and stock
will probably reach 5000 or $4,000. At
a late hour the fire was still on, but
the two Pittston companies, together
with the West Pittston tiremen on tha
scene, had it pretty well under control
and prevented any spreading of the
/ flames.
