THE TREASURE HUNTERS.

Men will risk everything In the Wild
stampede after gold.
Their money their families. their
health. and their lives. are cast into the
scale.
n they succeed and come back with
plenty OF treasure, they are looked upon
as heroes and applauded for their nerve
and foresight
If they fail, and. after long years OF
absence come home broken down OLD
wrecks, the victims OF bad climate. hard
living and harder luck, they are laughed
a or regarded with ndinerence-possibiy
with insolence.
II is often the same with those who fly
hitler and thither in search OF health.
Their money is wasted in long Journeys
among strangers, where the diet and
surroundings are uncongenial, and they
soon long 20 be back in their homes. The
cheapest and safest way Is to ascertain
what Is the best remedy, and then en-
ploy II nationally in your home, where
you can have the surroundings to which
you are accustomed.
As in the summer months most human
Ills arise from vitiated blood. or some
disturbance Of the nerve centres the
great treasure for which the ailing should
naturally seek is a remedy which will re-
store these sources of life and health 10
their normal condition, and bring back
the vigor and tone which they have lost.
Those who know the truth will not be-
grudge IL to those who suffer. They have
found the remedy and will gladly give
the results OF their experience. They VIII
tell the inquirer that Paine's celery com
pound cured them. and IL viii cure the
new conner just as it has cured others
for years past.
But" says some sceptical person, u
am afraid of patent medicines
Paine's celery compound is not patent
medicine. It is a scientific compound or
most ehicacious indictments, which was
discovered by noted American physi-
clan. The right to manufacture 1t Is
owned solely by the makers of Paine's
celery compound. and all substitutions
and limitations are entirely worthless ex-
cept to the people who sell them. When
YOU get Paine's you get treasure for
health. and the search need not be
long one But Il will pay better than
trip to the Klondike gold-helds.

miles east Of Cape Henry. in six and
half fathoms of water. The pilot boat
Relief sighted the wreck at daylight
and steamed up to her for the purpose Of
seeing if any of her crew were clinging
TO the rigging. Ne signs of them were
found. An Investigation Of the wreck
revealed the fact that some vessel, evil
IDENTIFY a steamship. had been in collision
with her, and penetrated a distance of
about ten feet. Tho Lamson's hull was
about twenty feet under water but the
TOP Of the cabin, evidently detached by
the shock, was floating on the surface,
held there only by a mass of entangled
cordage A hawser was run out by the
Relief and firmly secured to this roofing,
which was soon overturned, revealing
much of the cabin furniture. clothing,
mattresses, pillows, n medical chest, and
several packages Of papers. from which
was learned the schooner's name. From
her clearance papers was cleaned the
fact that she had cleared from Baltimore
on the 30th of last month for Charleston,
with $50 tons Of coal. The Lamson Is
lying with her head nOrthward. is listed
to starboard. and in her present situa-
ton is menace TO shipping, as she Is
directly in the track of navigation.
II is now definitely known that the
steamer whose sharp PROV wrecked the
LamsOn was the Chesapeake and Ohio
steamship Rappahannock. from Liverpool
to Newport News. The rescue of the
crew of the Inflated schooner was a
perilous undertaking. and was only ac-
complished with the greatest difficulty.
The steamer kept its bow In the hole IL
had made, and by going ahead showed
the schooner I'm front of her, while the
crew of the fated craft clambered aboard.
