What is needed is the one unfailing
remedy for Scrofula in all its forms
for one of those forms { Lung
scrofula) is Consumption.
Purify your blood-that's the first
thing. Rid it of the taints and
poisons that make it easy for this
dreaded disease to fasten its hold.
Then if you haven't delayed too
long, you can be cured.
From beginning to end, the rene

flesh builder known to medical sci

to it. For Weak Lungs, Splitting of

severe lingering Coughs, it's an I'M

Perils Of the Florida Reefs.

Lieut., Preston II. Uferrott in Blue and Gray
The most dangerous part OF the coast of
the United States extends from the south
erumosJ cape of the peninsula of Florida
to the island of Try IortuCas, lFing in the
Gulf of Mexico, SINty-twO miles from Key
West For a distance of 200 miles the
coast line Is here made up of a semi-circu-
lar cham Of islands, along whose seaward
edge lie the sunkGn reefs of Florida
These reefs are of coral formation. and
are washed by the warm water of the
Gulf stream as it nows through the
straits on its way nCrJhWard. This river
i'll the ocean, flowing always in one direC-
ton, with an average velocity of two
miles an hour, produces numerous strong
Couuter-CurrenIs ana indraUChts over the
reefs and along shore. Threatening tide
rips, eddies and whirlpoois are continu-
ally set going, which tend to battle the
ever-cautiOus mariner and carry his ship
to certain destruction.
Cape Hatteras with its tickle currents
ard shifting bars, so dreadful to the
mariner, has been the scene of many ship
wrecks, but the number is small when
compared to those which have met their
fate in the Gulf stream and beyond the
pale of assistance Hundreds of vessels
daily pass through the Florida straits on
their way to foreign ports and those
which are located on the shore of the
gulf, and in order TO avoid the adverse
currents vessels skirt along the edge of
the stream and the long arid reef with
its succession of varied dangers menac-
ingly paving the way like teeth in a
sharks Jaws.
However uncertain the navigation Of
the waters ad accent TO these reefs may be
by day, il becomes tenfOld more hazard
Gus by night. Notwithstanding the fact
that chain of lights on the desOlate reefs
cast rudy glare to the mariner on the
sea, yet plain sailing is out Of the ques-
ton, for the beacous are at an average
distance of twenty-five miles apart, and,
all other day-marks being hidden by the
darkness OF night, the navigator feels mis-
way with only the compass and deep-sea
lead 90 guide him. The consciousness
that slight divergence from the proper
course may lead TO disaster, keeps him on
the pins and needles Of anxiety. ships
have run upon these coral strands in
broad daylight, owing to strong in.
draughts, and il is by no means an un.
common occurrence to find at daybreaB
several vessels, which had lost their reck-
oning in the night, lying high and dry on
the rocks.

Ping-Yaug, or, as it is more correctly
speIt Piug-An, is the capital of the Ko-
rean province called Ping-An Do, is sit
uated upon the Da-Tong (Ta-Tong), or
Ping-An river. about fifty miles from its
mouth 1t location makes it a natural
stronghold. The river IS, next to the
Ialu, on the north, which separates kO-
rea from China, the most important
waterway Of the country, and a number
Of considerable towns and villages are
situated within its basin. IL has been de-
scribed as the RubiCon Of Korean history,
and at several periods anciently was the
boundary river between China and Korea,
or of the rival kingdoms into which, in
Oldeu times the Korea OF to-day was dl
vided. For period Of ten centuries, dat
iug from abOut.the commencement Of the
In the remote past it has many times
been besieged by both japanese and Chi
nese armies, and many decisive battles
have been fought in its vicinity.
AMERICANS MURDERED THERE.
The murder Of the crew of the Gen
Sherman, an American schooner, in 1856,
took place on the Da-Tong river, not far
from Piug-An. This occasioned the dis
patch in 1871 of the United States naval
expedition, under Admiral Rodgers,
which ended ANONYMOUSLY. The gamSa,
or governor of Ping-Au DO resides at
Ping-An. The province was shown by
the last census to contain 1913 400 houses,
and TO have ia, 53S men capable of bear
ing arms.
The people of this province are more
aggressive and turbulent in character
than those of the southern provinces.
They are said to be not very loyal to the
reigning dynasty, and the government IS
constantly apprehensive Of revolutionary
outbreaks among them. While this is
especially true of the Ping-An province
1t equally applies to the people of the
ad dining province on the south, Whang-
Hal Do.
Ping-An is reported to be very rich in
the precious metals and in minerals. but
the mining of gold and silver is prohibited
by the general government.
