THE OFFICIALS sANeUINE.
Only One Death and No New Case,
Reported TO DR.. Wymnu.

The yellow fever situation in the Nationa,
Soldiers Home at Hampton has improved
wonderfully during the past twenty-four
hours. according to the dispatches received
by Surgeon General Wyman last night
The infection has so far been confined to
Hampton and Phoebus, and he says there
IS little chance Of the scourge spreading.
The period of incubation has almost passed
the limit and no startling developments
have occurred. These things, in the opin-
ion OF the officials, are very encouraging
and it is expected that the fever will dis
appear within a short period.
The following despatch. dated as being
sent al $50 p. m, was received by Dr.
Wyman last night:

Surgeon General Wyman stated last night
that there was little cause for local alarm
as the city was comparatively safe. He
stated that the old soldier. James Lomax,
who had been furioughed from the Home.
had been located on the New Cut Road,
near Suitland, Nd, and was under obser-
vation. He further stated that the other
inmate of the Home, Jackson, had been
traced and would soon be under observa-
ton DR.. Hyman stated that he had seen
the suspected case at Providence Hospital,
and stated that the patient did not have
yellow fever, but was suffering from
severe case of indigestion.

geOn White, at Hampton, states that 700
mattresses had been received from the
Josiah Simpson Hospital and l, 500 mat
tresses from Philadelphia. These will be
used in the tents which have been erected
to clear the domitories. Surgeon White
also stated that the Gordon around Phoebus
and the Home was the strongest and
closest he had ever seen. Nothing sus-
picious has been reported from Hampton
Surgeon General Wyman also stated that
while the present outlook was very promis-
ing, no lack of precautinn should be taken
by the people. He issued the following
statement for publication:

The story leading up 10 the attempted
suicide OF Oldham is an interesting one.
He frankly admitted that he was in love
with Mrs. Lowe ard claimed that he had

Many of them were tourists who had been

fortunately, the rush and hurry of modern
business life will not permit the average

In lieu of life spent partly in the woods

kind of medicine to tone up and iuvigoratc

Discovery is the only thoroughly effective
medicine for this purpose. Its principal
action is upon the organs that feed the
blood, the stomach, the large intestines and
the liver. II facilitates the flow of the di-
gestive juices in the stomach and the
production of healthy chyle in large guam
titles in the large intestines. II invigorates
the liver and purifcs and euriches the
blood. When the blood is rich and pure
