cine. Its great cures recorded in truthful,
convincing language Of grateful men and
women, constitute its most effective adj
vertising. Many of these cures are mar
velous. They have won the confidence Of
the people; have given Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla the largest sales in the world, and
have made necessary for its manufacture
the greatest laboratory on earth. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is known by the cures it has
made - cures of scrofula, salt rheum and
eczema, cures OF rheumatism, neuralgia
and weak nerves, cures of dyspepsia, liver
and kidney troubles, catarrh and malaria.
Such Cures as This Prove Merit.
"My little nephew was plump and
healthy baby until year and a half old,
then sores broke out behind his ears and
spread rapidly over his head, hands and
body. A physician said the trouble was
scrofua humor in the blood. The child
became one complete sore. We had to
restrain his hands to keep him from
scratching the sores. We were induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and in a short
time he had more life. He improved rap
idly, his skin became entirely clear of
sores and he is now healthy child" Mrs.

A Frightful Explosion in Jersey City De
stroys Life and Property.

New York, Dee. 24-With an explosion
that could be heard all over Jersey City,
the LauterbaCh paint and acid WORKS in
that city blew up this morning. Fifty
persons were killed outright and many
others wounded. The entire building
was wrecked and others in the neighbor-
hood badly damaged. The building was
located in the heart of the city and build
ings all about it were damaged. The
Electric Illuminating company's machln
cry was so badly damaged that all the
lights In the city were extingulshed.
The explosion was the result of fire.
One after another of the huge tanks Of
inhammable material exploded as the
flames reached them, and created series
of crashes that could be heard for miles.
The hremen were unable to do anything
as they could not approach the building.
The paint and acid works was in a
frame building, and when the fire had
gone down only the blackened founda-
ton walls remained to locate the former
site. The first explosion occurred at o:5o
and vas quickly followed b. tour othets
The police and fire departments were on
hand, as were also the hospital ambu-
!ances, but none dared approach the
building for the work Of rescue.
Business in the neighborhood had to
be suspended and the police department
eXerted all their efforts to keep the
crowd outside of the danger limit.
The only dead and injured accounted
for are the passers by and the engineer
of the works. None of the employees OF
the works, of which there were fifty, have
been found. Death for them must have
been instantaneous.
This afternoon it was discovered that
only ten wo1kmen were in the building
when the fire occurred.
