WAS NOT CAUSED BY
ILLUMINATING GAS.
Fumes That Frustrated SacristRn
and AcoIYtes Came from Furnace.

and AcoIytes Came from Furnace.
Columbus, Ga, Feb. lit developed
to-day that the deadly fumes, which
came so near ending the lives of the
sacristan and a number of young boys
acting as acolytes at the Church of the
Holy Family yesterday. were not caus-
ed by escaping Illuminating gas, as
supposed, but in an entirely different
and quite peculiar manner
1t seems that gas was generated by
the furnace in the basement of the
church and found its way into the
sacristy by means of the stove pipe i'm
that room which connected with the
fiue leading up from the basement.
The gas was so strong that it over
came several persons in the sacristy,
and it took desperate work to save
the life of one of the boys. 1t was
not known until this afternoon that
escaping Illuminating gas was not the
cause of the trouble.
All the persons so seriously affected
yesterday are now well on the road to
complete recovery.

The Great Pain Destroyer.

The wonderful success of Phen-a-
mid Tablets in the curing of pains
and aches is owing to the fact that
they are founded upon right prin-
ciples.
1t was only after years Of patient
research by a well known chemist
that this logical remedy was discover
ed. Physicians at once tested it III
their practice. 1t did what was claim
ed for it-relieved and permanently
cured pains and aches. Hundreds of
testimonials from Well known physi-
clans prove this.
Phen-a-mid Tablets are a house
hold treasure-a valuable thing to
have in the house. They are abso-
lutely harmless. They do not depress
the heart nor upset the stomach. But
they do cure pains and aches by de-
stroying those injurious elements in
the blood which cause irritation to the
nerves and produce pain. BY thus
getting right at the root of the trouble
Phen-a-mid has never failed to make
cure
Used by physicians and in many
of the large hospitals throughout the
country with marked success, shows
that they do what has been claimed
for them and that their after effect is
always beneficial.
