AND A FORTUNATE RESCUE.


The following account OF u ship
wreck, rescue. subsequent disaster and
final salvation Is given by Mr.. a. w.
Burch OF Rome. n. y. 1t Is exceed
inBly graphic and Will be found most
interesting;
"On the 18th day Of January, 1898.
while cruising down the Caribbean Sea,
accompanied by my wife and child.
we were caught In heavy northeast
gale which drove our schooner ashore
on the north coast OF Honduras. No
one, unless he has been shlpwrecked,
can imagine what this means. Fort
unately we were rescued from the
wreck by some Carib Indians who
were living In small village on the
coast and such comforts as the vii
lage afforded were placed at our dis
posal.
Among this sep-barbarous people
we remained five weeks. finally cross
Ing to the Island Of Ruatan In dugout
boat.
During the time we we're among
the CARDS we were forced to live upon
cocoanuts, bananas, cassaya and other
foods TO which we were unaccustomed.
our stomachs were soon deranged by
this strange diet and we suffered
aoutely from dyspepsia. Both myself
and wife had terrible indigestion, nau-
sea, occasional headaches sinking at
the pit OF the stomach and the usual
troubles dyspeptcs generally undergo.
I'VE finally reached the United
states in very broken condition,
where we employed the best physi-
cinns and used various preparations,
but we received little II any benedt.

taken into our systems, with the acute
gastric troubles refused TO yield to
