LONG ISLAND OYSTERS
CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH.
Government Fish Commissioner
Hunts for Typhoid BacilIi,
but Finds None.

The Long Island OYSTER is all right.
This important fact has been estab-
lished by an official investigation inst
completed by M. O. Marsh, who ex-
amined carefully the Long Island
oyster beds under orders from Fish
Commissioner Bowers at Washington.
The trouble began last December,
when certain British dealers, after
more or less shifting, declared that
their experts had discovered typhoid
bacilli in our oysters. The accused
had not one word to say for them
selves. How could they? The con-
illusions reached by Mr.. Marsh are
"Great South Bay oysters, Is a
whole, are free from sewage contain
ination when dredged. The explanta'
ton of the sewage contamination
found in England Of oysters from
this place may reasonably be sought
in sporadic cases of pollution about
tie floats; and of other American
oysters in the same. The typhoid
contamination if it was finally estab-
ilshed, originated probably from IN
recognized or uncontrolled cases al
some points about the oyster ground. !

SCIENCE PREVENTS Badness.
The Fatal Germ and Its Remedy Now
Facts of Science.

It is the rarest thing in the world for
a man to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hair Is not dead at the roots, need
be bald If he will use Newbro's Herpi-
eide, the new scalp antiseptic. Herpi-
eide destroys the germ that cuts the hair
off at the root; and cleans the scalp OF
dandruff and leaves it in a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr.. Mannett, in the
Maryland Block. Butte, Mont, was en-
tirely bald. In less han a month Herpi-
eide had removed the enemies of hair
growth, and nature did its work by GOV
ering his head with thick hair an inch
long, and in six weeks he had a normal
suit of hair. Sold by leading druggists.

SEVERE STORM.
Swept Over this Section Yesterday
Shipping Tied Up.

In the northeast gale which swept over
this section yesterday local tugboatmen
and captains of all other craft had plenty
to do. Sometimes the sea was so choppy
that it was almost impossible for a boat
to move at all.
At the local docks of the Lehigh Valley
the tugs had plenty of trouble. Very
little shifting of canal boats was done as
it was considered too dangerous. The
first tow left this morning for New York
At Port Reading little or no work was
done all day.
The ferryboat Warren was able to keer
on fair time.
While the storm was at its worst-.yes.
terday three barges broke away
from their moorings in the East
River at East Seventy-ninJh street. All
were coal laden. One belonged to the
Delaware and Hudson Railroad. On one,
the Fox, was Captain Joseph Brown, and
a single deckhand was on the Delaware
and Hudson barge.
The three barges drifted as far south as
East Thirty-eighth street, where a Lehigl
Valley tug picked up the Fox. Before
she could be beached the Fox had sunk
In the middle of the channel, a hole hav-

Hospital Still Crowded.

The congestion at the CITY hospital still
continues, and, in fact, the conditions ar
growing worse. Patients are placed on
cots in every possible space, and the care
which they should receive cannot thus be
afforded them. The congestion was told
of in the News two weeks ago, when
there were twenty-four patients, and the
number has not decreased. The only
remedy yet suggested as feasible is the
renting of a floor in a house in the vicini-
ty Of the hospital, to accommodate the
nurses, that their rooms in the institu-
tion may be utilized for patients.

O. s. cssswell of North Middleboro,
Mass, writes. 'Hyomei has relieved

1t is the easiest thing in the world to

ginning If you use Hyomei. lust breathe
the health irving, balsamic air for a few
minutes and your catarrh will be cured.
In the worst cases of this disease, chronic
or acute, Hyomei used for four or five
times a day is all that is needed to soon
effect a cure.
In this and neighboring towns, there
are hundreds that can testify to the re-
markable powers of Hyomei to cure
catarrh. Many of the st~aunchest friends
Of this remedy began its use with little
hope that they would be cured, but as
Z. A. Sexton offered to refund the money
if it did not benefit, they decided to try
it on that plan, and were soon restored to
health.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.00 and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried 10 the vest pocket, a medicine
dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The
inhaler lasts a lifetime and if n bottle
does not cure, au extra bottle of Hyomei
can be obtained for SOC.
