ure tn the Elements.
New York, March 31.-Mortality and
sickness among the letter carriers is great
er this year than has ever been known.
Seven carriers have died from diseases of
the lungs since January 1, and forty are
drawing sick pay from the New York
Letter Carriers Association. More than
two-thirds of the invalids have the grip,
pneumonia, bronchitis, and kindred dis
eases.
Officers of the association said yesterday
that in their opinion the deaths and the
cases of illness were due 10 the efforts of
the carriers to do the great amount CT
work placed upon them through the mad
equacy of the postal force in this city.
1t has long been known that the post
Office department here has been hampered
because there are not enough carriers TO
do the work quickly.
Cornelius Van Cott, the postmaster, has
made several trips to Washington~to urge
that $50 letter carriers be added 10 the
present force The increase of business and
the erection of so many sky-scraping
buildings, filled to the roof with offices,
have made the task OF the letter carriers
an onerous one. The law prescribes that
the carriers shall work only eight hours
q
ter Carriers Association viii not admit
as much, but it has been reported fire.
quently that the postmen occasionally
work ten hours in order to dispose of the
quantity of mail which is given TO them.
so great has been the increase of mail
natter said Thomas ]. Bonser, secretary
TO the Letter Carriers Association, yester
day, that in some districts of the city
the carriers have been obliged 10 make all
the speed possible. Men have come out
of the sky scrapers down stairs, perspir
ing. and have been exposed TO the chill
winds. Most of the cases of illness are
traceable directly to exposure 10 the Sc
verify of the elements after the hurry
of going through the numert US floors of
a sky scraper.
This association never has been called
upon 10 pay such heavy claims, Our dis
bursements last year were S6,3O3. In the
first three months of this year We have
paid death and sick benefits amounting TO
1856.
There are 1,73O carriers and substitutes

It is certainly gratifying TO the public to know
of one concern in the land who are not afraid to
be generous to the needy and the suffering. The
proprietors of Dr. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, Coughs, and Colds have given away over
ten million trial bottles of this great medicine,
and have the satisfaction Of knowing ii has abso-
lutely cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma,
Bronchitis, HoarsenesS, and all diseases of the
Throat, Chest, and Lungs are surely cured by it.
