0vercame other Troubles.

The following account Of shipwreck,
rescue, subsequent disaster and final sal
walton is given by Mr.. A. w Burch, of
Rome, N. Y. It is exceedingly graphic
and will be found most interesting =
"On the 18th day Of January, 1868, while
cruising down the caribbean Sea, accom-
panied by my wife and child, we were
caught in a heavy northeast gale which
drove our schooner ashore on the north
coast of Honduras. No one, unless he has
been shipwrecked, can imagine what this
means. Fortunately we were rescued from
the wreck by some Carib Indians who
were living In small village on the
cost, and such comforts as the village af.
forded were placed at our disposal.
Among this semi-barbarous people we
remained five weeks, iually crossing to
the island of Ruatan in dugout boat
During the time we were among the
Caribs we were forced to live upon cocoa
nuts, bananas, cassavs and other foods to
which we were unaccustomed. Our stom-
achs were soon deranged by this strange
diet and we suffered acutely from dys-
pepsia. Both myself and wife had terri

aches, sinking at the pit Of the stomach
and the usual troubles dyspeptics gem

in very broken condition, where we en-
ployed the best physicians and used
various preparations, but we received
little If any benefit, The malarial poisons
which we had taken into our systems,
with the acute gastric troubles, refused to
yield to the various methods of treatment
and our conditions became daily more
painful and alarming.

rescued from watery grave only to be
plunged into a worse than living death,

"IJ was at this time that observed,
from an article in one of the leading
papers, that there had been a scientific

good and my food, instead of distressing
me AS formerly, was perfectly digested
and caused me no inconvenience. l began
to gain flesh, and now both myself my
wife and our child are restored to perfect
health and strength wholly through th'
use of the great pre-digested food Paskola
