There is cause for anxiety when
cough hangs OH for a year and can't be
shaken off. The quickest way to relieve
that anxiety is to begin at once the use
Of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. 1t is cough remedy, but it is also
great deal more. In far advanced
stages of disease, when hemorrhages
have been frequent and there have been
emaciation and weakness, rGolden Med
ical Discovery" has produced perfect
cure. 1t increases the supply of the life
fuid-blood. 1t cleanses the blood from
impurities, and sends a current of rich,
new blood to build up the weak places
in the body with new life.
The rDiscovery" is strictly a temper
ance medicine, non-alcoholic and non
narcotic.
~For one year I was troubled with cough -
writes Mr. II. +. Curtis of Sumner, Bremen
Co., Iowa "As continued 10 cough during the
summer, my wife became anxious, and wrote to
DR. R. V. Pierce for medical advice II seemed
&c US that We could not go to better source for
advice and so Il proved, as the Golden Medical
Discovery which was recommended, proved
just the medicine to effect a cure, DR., Pierce
and his medicines are : AS good as wheat as the
farmers used TO say"
Bad taste in the mouth is removed by
using DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

DEATH, RATHER THAN CHARITY
]. B. Curtis, of Standing Stone, Ends
His Life by Burning Himself.

Special TO the Scranton Tribune.
Towanda, April 1S.-Standng stone,
situated about ten miles down the river
had a sensation of rather peculiar cir
stances. 1t seems that ]. b. Curtis,
who lived with a small family of chill
dren in a small hut on the river island,
it is reported, burned himself to death
rather than go to the county aims
house. Curtis was a sufferer with can
Ger in his face, and it was hoped he
would consent to accept proper care at
the county house at Burlington, but he
declared he would take poison, already
in his possession, before he would go,
On Friday he sent his two young chill
dren, a boy and girl, to gather coal
along the railroad, and when they re-
turned he was dead in a chair. The
cushion and chair coverings had been
atire, and We're still smouldering, and
his body was badly burned. He was
about forty-five years of age.
