Remarkably Small Gust of saviAg from
Death by starvation.
NAGPORB, Feb. THE special CORE
spondent Of the Associated Press, who is
now visiting this city, finds that the town,
which is the seat Of many government
offices and the center Of important manu-
features Of cotton, silk, wooden and out
lery, having a population normally Of over
10000 has been invaded by an extensive
migration from the outlying districts,
where sWrcity of winter rains was the
rule. Government activity, in connection
with the irrigation work and other public
enterprises, and thorough precautions
taken for the relief of the unfortunate
have averted an acute crisis. Half crops
only were secured throughout this section
Of the country this season, but the fodder
supply is good, and it is hoped the worst
effects of the famine will be STAYED off for
two months longer at least.
Your correspondent has visited the local
poorhouse, accommodating about 1000
persons. A piteous spectacle was here pre-
sented by the almost naked dregs Of hu.
manity, nearly all too ill or diseased to
work, but all fed and healthily housed at
n cost of 1000 rupees zach month, this
fund being raised by native charity.
This poorhouse is a fair spec linen OF
poorhOuses in other sections Of India,
n shows how small a sum is necessary
to isave these unfortun.tes from actual
death by starvation. Taken as a wholeit
may be stated that the Nagpore district is
not in as bad a plight as the northern dis.
tricts already visited by your correspond

Ono thing is certain 1t will not do to
fool with q bad cold. No one can tell what
the end will be. Pneumonia, catarrh, chronic
bronchitis, if not consumption, invariably
result from a neglected cold. It is surprising
too, that bad colds arc SO often neglected
when one remembers how easily and at what
little expense they may be cured. Cham
b%erlain's Cough Remedy is always prompt
and efcctual, and costs but a trihe; 25 or so
cents is a trihe as compared with the disas-
trous effects of a neglected cold. Mr.. Abner
Mercer, of Dilworthtown, Chester County,
Pa. in speaking of this remedy, said Some
time ago I had a bad cold and cough. l
tried almost everything. Finally Mr.. Hunt,
the druggist, recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and one so cent bottle of it
cured me entirely" For sale by Gruhler
