A DISASTROUS STORM.
THE ATLANTIC COASTVISITED BY
DESTRUCTIVE GALES.
A Great Many Lives Lost. Cities and
Towns Laid Flat. Much DAM
age to Shipping.
age to Shipping.

The terrible hurricane that had beer
forming in the south gulf and Atlantic
coasts of Florida for several days passed
over Florida and Georgia Tuesday, and
nothing remains in its direful path ex-
cept devastation, ruin aud death. The
death roll is already in the hundreds and
is still incomplete; many more will be
found before the search is finished.
1t did more property damage in a few
short hours than all the wars of earth
combined in the same length of time.
1t laid fiat every city and town between
Cedar Keys, Fla, and Savannah. There
was very little damage to shipping in
terests. The weather bureau had pre-
dicted the cyclone and all the ships were
safe in harbor
Itentered Florida at Cedar Keys and
made its way up the eastern coast of the
state. Over twenty towns and villages
have been, wrecked and forty or fifty per-
sons killed besides hundreds wounded,
many of whom will die.
Only one corner of the horrible de-
stroyer struck Jacksonville and while
the property loss is considerable there
was no loss of life.
1t struck Brunswick at o'clock a. m -.
and lasted just two hours, during which
time many of Brunswick's handsomest
structures were leveled with the ground
and her streets, parks and cemeteries con-
verified into one mass of wreck and ruin.
All the ships that were in the halbur were
hlOvun nnnn hjub Irv oyrp,,p1
The lowest estimates place the proper
ty loss at $250,000; the highest estimates
place it at $500,00O Four deaths have
been reported, and many others are
wounded, some of whom will die. Near
ly everything on st. Simons Island was
bio Wn away.
Chatham, Charleston and Camden
counties swell the number of fatalities,
and while there is no estimate as to the
property loss in these counties it is
known to be an appalling sum.
Savannah was reach ed at II o'clock a.
m. and Notwithstanding the fact that it
passed off in 80 minutes it took with it
twelve human lives and $1,500000 worth
of property, no. including the damage
to the streets, parks, cemeteries, tele-
graph companies and other things. Moth
ing could withstand it's terrible force, and
some of the most substantial buildings
are down. AS destroyer it has no
equal IN history considering the time 1T
occurred.
Leaving Savannah it passed through
South Carolina, Virginia, District of Co.
lumbia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. All
of these suffered heavy losses. The
white house at Washington was slightly
damaged and the tin roof of President
Cleveland'B country home is gone. No
storm so far reaching IN the extent of
its damage was ever before witnessed
on the Atlantic coast

YOUR PALATE IS YOUR STOM-

Your Stomach knows What is Good
 for You.

Thin people are thin because the food they eat is not absorbed, Reasons, either wrong food, or right food undi- gested.
 Fats, oils and grease will not make anyone fat. This is because they are indigestible. Thin people find it hard to digest their food, Fatty foods make 1t still harder,
 Have you ever noticed that almost without exception thin, pale, dyspep tic, anaemie people have an aversion to fat This is of itself proof enough that such foods are bad for them.
 Let your palate tell you what to'eat. Nature makes very few mistakes and we should listen to what she says.
 Thin people may become latter and dyspeptics more comfortable, by talk ing the Shaker Digestive Cordial It agrees with the weakest stomach. It helps the weak stomach digest other food, It is fattening and inyigorating in itself, for it contains artificially di- gested food.
 The Mount Lebanon Shakers nave made great many interesting discov- cries within the past hundred years, but none more important than this in genious cure for all diseases which are traceable to faulty digestion. A single 10 cent bottle will tell whether 1t is adapted to your case, and can be had through any druggist.

"l WOULD RATHER DlE!"

On the third floor of an ordinary lodging house in the City of Brooklyn was found the body of a lodger, with a revolyerby his sideaud bullet in his head. h his pocket was found book in which was written;
 "I am tired of life because am suffering from consumption. would try 10 work but it Is useless while have no hope of getting hetter.'
 What commentary on our boasted civil iaation! A poor wretch, suffering from what he supposed was an incurable disease, snuffs out his fickering life with bullet, Where did he get the idea that his disease was incurable? From an old-time theory which modern investigation has exploded Many diseases may be considered incur able, but that does not make them so. During the past few years scientists have discovered, in the tuberculosis germs, the cause of consumption. Their iuvestiga- tions have found a cure for the malady, in Ozone and Guaiacol These agents de stroy the germs which produce the disease. Compounded with pure Cod Liver Oil, they form Ozomulsion, ,whichis sold by all Drug gists. This remedy cures consumption and all lung troubles. It first destroys the cause of disease-the poisonous germs which pro- duceit-and tAenrestores the patient to per- feet health. The Ozone and Guaiacol kill the germs. The Cod Liver Oil provides the flesh and strength. That is the principle on which this medicine works. It is both rational and reasonable; and tis doing more for the cure of lung troubles than any other preparation
