1t is hardly necessary to describe
Daniel Sully to a Carbondale audi
ence. He has been seen here so often
and is such a universal favorite with
our playgoers that praise of him seems
superfluous in this city. But his play.
The Paris Priest" will be presented
at our local theatre on Saturday night
for the first time. This play was writ
ten by Dan Hart, Of Wilkes Barre
whose productions have helped Mr.
Sully previously. Its first appearance
was given at Scranton on the last
night of the last season. and the piece
scored an instantaneous hit. So popu-
lar did 1t prove that 1t was produced
again in Scranton at the opening of the
present season, and will once more
he given there shortly. THE Parish
Priest" tells a story of pathos and
humor deliciously blended. and It is
written so as to arouse no sectarian
feeling of any kind.

BRONCHIAL TUBES AND LUNGS.
THEIR CURATIVE TREATMENT
by the
DrOuet Method.

This method of treating the above
diseases was originated by the cele-
brated French physician. DIR. Drouet,
of Paris. The treatment consists In
the direct application to the mucous
membranes of specific remedies, which
act by gradual impregnation on the
diseased tissues with remarkably sue
cessful results. A most ingeniously
constructed instrument and apparatus
is required to carry out this mode of
treatment. BY its use every portion of
the Nose. Throat, Larynx. etc. are
Illuminated for the purpose OF dag
nosis and treatment The remedies and
medicines are introduced to the dis
eased tissues in the form of vapors and
medicated air, which produces mild
and soothing effect upon the congested
and infiamed membranes. A single
trial of this treatment will convince
any one of its beneficial effects.
This method Of treatment is now in
troduced from Europe in the United
states for the first time. Its advant-
ages, etc, will be fully explained at

will succeed Mr.. Wyllie.
