READING'S ACCIDENT
It Was Due to the Use of
 Weak TimberS.
NEARLY 200 PEOPLE INJURED.

Three Hundred Were Prectpitated Into the Basement-One Hundred and Forty eight Cases Reported and Others Con- stantly Coming In.
 READING, Pa, Oct. 9.-Yesterday only fully developed tine extent of the terrible ac- cident at the corner stone laying of St. Mary's Catholic church. when q gjrder broke and nearly 300 persons were precipitated into the basement. The names and residences of the persons injured are coming to light every hour, and up to last night 14S persons had been discovered who have received injuries. This is not the entire number by any means, as additional ones are continually coming to light. There Is no doubt that the list will reach 115
 A careful summary shows that twenty three persons had their legs broken, fourteen had arms broken, seven were injured in the spine, five had their ribs broken, three their hips fractured, five their ankles broken, and ten were internally injured, and the remain der received cuts, bruises and sprains, Up to last evening there had been no deaths, though five persons are ill critical condition. Fathers Borneman, Garvey, Murphy and Libicki were out all day and night visiting the afflicted. Archbishop Ryan started for his homs in Philadelphia overwhelmed with grief over the sad occurrence.
 An investigation was made as to the cause of the accident, and experts say that it is due to bad timber The girdels ran the en- tire length of the building. These were mor- tised entirely through, and here the joists were inserted. This mortising rendered the girders, which were only of pine, very weak, and with a large crowd on top they simply snapped in twain. Mortising of grders is never allowed where the floors of a building

What is this Disease that Is Coming
~. Upon Us? -.

~. Upon Us?
Like thief at night it steals
in upon us unawares. The pa
tients have pains about the
chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth has =
bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of sticky slime.
collects about the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is a
feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach; sometimes a faint, all
gone sensation at the pit of thsN
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold
and clamny. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it lis attend
ed with a greenish-colored ex-
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any
rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is a giddiness, a sort of whirl-
ing sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow
els become costive; the skin is
dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de-
posting a sediment after stand
ing. There is frequently a
splitting up of the food, some
times with a sour taste and
sometimes with a swedish
taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitation of the
heart; the vision becomes i'm
paired, with spots before the
eyes; there is a feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All
of these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu-
lation has this disease in some
of its varied forms.
1t has been found that ply
5icians have mistaken the cause
of this disease. Some have
treated it for. a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, ETC.,
ETC., but none of these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia. It
is also found that Shaker Ex-
tract of Roots, or Mother Sci
gels Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove
this disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article.
IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN
