MILLION FOR ilEIIIIl


One of the greatest American millioneirea
once said TO his physician, a million dol
lars Doctor for q new stomach, and thea
the sick man groaned and turned away.
One Of mans greatest pleasures Is that
born Of keen appetite, vigorous digestion
and a good dinner and this belongs 10
many a good fellow who IS living on small
wages but the rich man without stomach
has 10 forego the good things Of the table
because his stomach rebels. Without .
healthy stomach and good digestion, our
blood is tnin. wateTy and poor, our heart
action is weak. our liver does not do its
duty and man is miserable and unhappy.
IN this condition rnsn is prey 70 the germs
of influenza, consumption, malaria and all
the ills that he is heir 10. Consumption
can be treated by natural methods which
are as close to nature as possible.
DR. r. v. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan Of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, al Buffalo, n. Y, years ago IN.
derstood this disease, and after long pc
Rod of experiment discovered certain roots
and herbs which were natures remedies,
and succeeded in putting them up. IN q
form that would be easily procured and
ready to use This he called DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. II gives no
false stimulation because II contains no
alcohol and ne narcotic. 1t helps diges-
ton and the assimilation of such elements
in the food as are required for the blood.
Instead Of a cod liver oil, against which
the already sensitive stomach will declare
open rebellion, this tonic has pacifying
action upon the sensitive stomach and
gives TO the blood the food elements the
tissues require. 1t maintains the patients
nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain,
digest and assimilate nutritious food. It
overcomes gastric irritability and symp-
toms of Indigestion, and in this way fever,
night sweats, headaches. etc, are done
away with. 1t fortihes the body against
the germs Of consumption, grip and ma
laria, and 1t builds up the tissues aud puts
on healthy hesh.
When the druggist says he has some
thing that Is Hjust as good" as DR.. Pierce .
Golden Medical Discovery, he says so be-
cause he hopes to make better pront,
but his own mixtures have not stood the
test of long experience nor'had the success
that DR.. Pieree's medicines have had.

Remarkable Incidents

Heroic Acts Amid Scenes of F1eartrending

Almost MiraCuIousIy Saved.

There were many strange and pathetic
incidents connected with the fire, and
the rescue of the people. struggling in
the water.
Forty persons We're rescued from the
water by the crew Of the Massasoit.
which was one of the first of the river
craft TO get to the General Slocum's
side.
Captain Parkinson ordered his crew
TO make ready every available foot Of
hose. and other fire-fghting appliances.
and to lower the life boats. All of the
orders were speedily carried out. but il
was quickly seen that it would be but
a waste Of time to man the Sase. and
1t was dropped.
Albert Rappaport. a decf hand, throw
ing off his outer clothing. jumped over
board and one after another he caught
hold Of six young women, and fastening
a-rope TO each one. had them pulled
up to the Massasoits decks.
He rescued a boy thirteen years old
in this way, but the little fellow fought
Rappaport before the deckhand could
get the rope made fast TO the lad. Rap
paport saved seven in this manner, and
was exhausted when he was pulled on
board the Massasoit. 1t was RappapOrt
who rescued Minnie Weiss, eleven years
cid. and Miss Hannah Ludemann, six

YELLow-HAIRED BABY
WAITED FOR HER PAPA

Through It all. her big blue eyes look
ing straight ahead. her little face quite
serene and untroubled. sat baby girl
OF four in big chair at the side of the
room. She had come out of the burned
boat somehow. nobody knew how. and
her yellow hair and bright red dress
were as neat as a pin. with not even
q drop of water TO spoil its prettiness.
Her eyes Travelled all about the room

the moaning men curiously, obviously

she sat In her big chair until a white
faced man burst into the room Then
she scrambled down:
"Oh. papa" cried the baby Where
have you been. and where is mamma
and brother and sister and baby?"
The father, who was Charles Kregler
OF 257 Avenue y, caught up the child
in an agony OF love and held her close
for minutes before he spoke. His wife
maiden, together with the three other
children, had been on the boat. Lizzie
he had found, the only child alive IN
that place of dead children: but his wife
and the other children were not there,
living or dead
That alone convinced him they had
perished. Otherwise. they. too, would
bing, holding the child close to him, and
the last thing the reporters saw OF them
was q wealth OF yellow hair, a red dress
and a happy baby smile.

PATHETIC SCENES
At CITY'S MORGUE
Thousands Besiege Portals
of GruesOme Building.
SEARCHING FOR DEAR ONES
Many Look Over the Dead Bodies in
Vain and Turn Sadly
Away.

NEW YORK, June 16.-Many heart
rending scenes have been witnessed in
the morgue at the foot Of East Twenty
sixth Street. and many narrowing tales
have come from that temporary home
OF the city's dead. but all were eclipsed
by the scenes enacted there when the
bodies of many of the General SlOcum' s
victims were laid side by side for pur-
poses of identification,
II was one OF the first places that dis
tracted fathers and mothers. wives and
sisters sought for tidings of those who
had left their homes for a bright June
days outing.
Relatives hurried there TO learn
whether those they loved had been
saved or IL burned or drowned they
were in readiness to establish the iden-
tity of body by a piece of clothing OF
a trinket or perhaps by marks that per-
haps had been left unframed.
BY threes and tours the police let them
in from 1 o'clock until in the evening.
For five hours the tragedy of grief
crazed men and women bending over
those drowned women and babies went
on.
The scenes varied little when identih-
cations were made. Women and men,
II was all the same; a frightened. fear
fui glance, a sudden change in the face,
a scream that tore its way from the
heart. and a storm OF grief that shook
the tortured mothers and fathers and
brothers and sisters until they were led
out by the police and taken TO their
homes.
