STARTED WITH A COLD"
So Says One Of the Greatest Of American
Physicians and lie Proves what lie Says.

at is surprising what mistakes cv,l
some of the best people in tho worio
make"
Tho speaker was one of the greatest
doctors the world has ever known, aud
he resides In New York
Take for example one OF the most
common things in the world, namely, a
cold. People speak OF taking cold,' there
is really no such thing.
"A cold is a symptom.-an effect, not n
cause, Did you ever know an absolutely
we'll and healthy person who took cold?
never have, even Under the greatest
exposure Yes, indeed, a cold is symp-
tom, not q cause"
Tho gentlemen and ladies to whom the
doctor was speaking exchanged looks Of
astonishment but they did not dispute
the words of the learned doctor.
You may be surprised" he continued,
''when l tell you that nine-tontha of all
colds occur because those great organs
OF the body, the kidneys, are out of or
der.
more men and women are troubled
with imperfect kindneys than with any
other known form of disease. The I'M
fortunate thing about it is that they do
not know that this Is their trouble.
"Why? Because all difficulties Gc.
rangements and disease of the Ndncl s
which come to both men and women "a O.
usually without any pain; in fact, without
any symptoms whatever, and this prov ,s
just what said at first. namely, that "a
cold is a symptom
There was a look of amaZemcnt upon
the faces of his hearers.
Indeed" continued the doctor, most
deliberately and earnestly, IL assert that
the grip, which has been so disastrous,
which has brought so much trouble into
the world, would never have had it's run
If the kidneys of those who had suffered
from 1t had been in perfect condition
These great organs. if unclogged, would
have thrown the disease from the system
so that the grip would have been un-
known.
Now there is but one great discovery
for the prevention and cure Of all kidney
difticulties-that grand remedy. Warmers
Safe Cure. No class of people know ol
realize this better than the medical pro-
fession, and no class is more ready tc
acknowledge it.
Take my word, anyone who Is care
full upon the first approach of a cold oil
grip and goes right to the seat of al
from n cold; will not be oppressed by tho
grip and need have no fear of pneumonia
because the kidneys, unclogged, will oper
up the system and throw the germs O
disease out of the body. You can depend
upon this"

CONCERT IN MUSIC HALL.
Given by the Liederkranz and Con-
cordia.

a large audience assembled at Music
hall last night and enjoyed an elabor-
ate programme of music, rendered un-
der the joint auspices of the SCran-
ton Liederkranz and the Wilkes Barre
ConcOrdia society. ChoruseS by the
two societies, piano solos by Ernest
Bennett, of Wilkes Barre, and vocal
solos by Miss Augusta De Mois,
Wilkes Barre'g superb soprano, made
up the musical feast
The COncordia was given a warm re-
ception. 1t was down on the pro-
gramme for three numbers, but the
audience would not be satisfied until
it had been treated to twice that many
selections Enthusiastic applause for
the singers and calls for the author
followed the Wilkes Barreans excellent
rendition of Theodore Hembergers $
Spring Song" The pretty compliment
the COncordia's action conveyed was
thoroughly appreciated. Not a little
of the applause was directed to the
Concordia's able leader, Adolph Har-
isen. 1t was the general sentiment that
the Wilkes Barre society was never IN
better form and that they would be
dangerous competitors for our own
premier Liederkranz.
The Liederkranz was heard last
night for the first time under it's new
director, Prof. Hemberger. Both the
society and it's leader were heartily
greeted, and in response to the ova-
tiOn surpassed itself in it's several rem
dtions.
Miss De Mois fulfilled the highest ex-
pectations of those who had heard of
her marevelously sweet and pure So
prano voice. Her beauty and the ex-
preston which characterized her rem
ditions proved powerful allies to her
voice in winning for her the warmest
admiration of the audience.
Mr. Bennett, the pianist, is a prom

Wyoming seminary. He was heard in
two different compositions of Heller
and in triple number, which includ-
ed a selection Of Ottenhofer a capriccio
