Ci1v Wins a Damage Case.

In the case of Mary Dickson against
the City of Scranton, Referee G. b.
Little yesterday filed II report finding
that the plaintiff has no cause of ac-
ton.
She is u resident of Brick avenue
North Scranton. In the rear OF her
home is a pond, formed by surface
water lodging in a depression of what
would be Il continuation of Beaumont
street She was taken with malarial
fever. and alleged that her illness was
caused by the miasmatic germs eman-
ating from this pond. The pond, it was
alleged, WAS formed as II result of the
citE's grading of Cayuga street.
The referee finds that the city did not
grade Cayuga street; that Beaumont
street at this point is not a city street,
and that the city in consequence is not
liable, although Mrs Dicison's ailments
may be the result of the miasnatic
germs generated by the pond
Exceptions to the report have been
filed by G. w. Dawson, I5. +. Tinkham
and George Benedict, attorneys for the
plaintiff. The city was represented by
City Solicitor George NJ. Watson.

ent Women.

Mrs. f. l.. Bernhardt, 3S2 Newbury
street, Boston, Mass, found herself in
an extremely perilous condition Of
health after a surgical operation. Her
touching story, written for the benefit
of other sufferers. Is as follows:-
ut Is with feeling of extreme
gratitude and thankfulness and Il
humane desire to benefit others, that
write out my own experience in the
use of Prof Edward Il. Phelps won-
derful preparation, called Paine's
Celery Compound. Owing to a fall
from a horse several years ago 1 be-
came a nervous invalid. and last year
1 entered a hospital where ] was oper-
ated upon by famous New York
surgeon.
".rhe surgical operation was success
full, but nervous prostration followed.
A summer in Newport with the best
medical attendance failed to restore
my nerves to their normal condition.
l was absolutely unable to digest any
solid food, and this weak condition of
my digestive organs, combined with
insomnia. caused the deepest depres-
sion. A constant tenderness ana sore
ness in the region of my stomach with
q dull headache and extreme weakness
created a feeling of helplessness from
which I was unable to rise.
at was in this melancholy frame of
mind that l CHANGED to meet Il Boston
lawyer who said to me, 4 was in al
most the condition that you are now in
and after spending hundreds of dollars
without receiving any benefit | was in
duced by friend to give Paine'.i Gel
cry Compound a trial, which ! did. and
it cured me completely when every
thing else had failed
II was rather skeptica1 about trying
patent medicine, but I ordered Il
bottle from my druggist and began to
take it according to directions. Much
to my surprise. slept soundly at night
and did not awake in the morning with
the usual dull headache. Then, too l
developed an appetite for solid food,
and soon I was able to digest Il course
dinner without any unpleasant sem
sations. I am now completely restored
to health after about two months use
of the compound.
"Sympathizing with all who may be
suffering as l did, I take this method
of reaching strangers, after writing
personal letters to my particular
friends"

Physical Culture at It's Best.

The training OF a sound body is cDa-
sidered of AS much Importance at
Swarthmore College as intellectual cul-
ture. 1t receives the same discriminat-
ing direction and care. The handsome
gymnasium recently built is the late st
evidence of this.
But physical culture at Swarthmorc
Is intelligently conducted. A course of
training Is prescribed for each indl-
vidual case TO meet the individual need.
As n result the health record of
Swarthmore is remarkable.
In this, as well as in every other de-
partment, the advantage of the small
college" IL manifest. 1t makes possible
that close personal relation between in
structor and student that awakens and
develops the best there is in Il man or
woman.
The same discrimination, thorough
equipment ana intelligent direction cX-
tend To every branch Of the college
worll--the libraries, the physical,
chemical ana biological laboratories,
machine shops, astronomical observa-
tory, etc.
Swarthmore is co-educatonal. Tt
offers four courses-Arts, Science, Let
ters and Engineering 1t is under the
conservative, yet progressive manage
ment of Frlends--yet is distinctly nom
sectarian. 1t is ideally located amid
200 acres of wood and lawn, affording
ample opportunity for all kinds of out
door sports. For catalogue and fur
ther particulars address the president,
