DEATH TRAIL GROWS.
Mexican Earthquake known to Have
Affected Wide Territory.

Late news from .he area of destruction
in the recent Mexican earthquake shows
that the devastation wrought was greater
than at first supposed. Besides the de-
struction of the cities of Chilpancingo
and Chilapa it is now reported that the
city of Tixtla. between the two cities
above named and containing about the
same population as Chilpancingo was
also leveled to the ground, and messen-
gers from the coast who have reached
Chilpancingo say that the towns of Ayut-
la and Ometepec have been wiped off the
map. Ayutla is one of the most historic
towns in the republic.
Ometepec is farther south. near the
boundary line of the States of Fuerrero
and Oaxaca. 1t is a town of about 1000
inhabitants and it is feared that the loss
of life here may be heavier than at
Ayutla. Tlapa, a town eighty miles west
of Chilpancingo and near the border line
of the State of Oaxaca, is also reported
to have been wiped out. The report from
Chilpancingo says that the whole of the
west coast from Acapulco south to Salina
Cruz. the Pacific terminal of the Tehuan-
tepec National railway, Mexico's new
transcontinental road, which was opened
with elaborate ceremonies last January
by President Diaz, has been badly dam
aged.
1t is reported that Acapulco is partly
submerged from the great waves which
dashed over the breakwaters. Although
no breath of wind was stirring on the
night of the first shock, when the earth
began to tremble. the sea was lashed into
a fury and as the shocks continued the
harbor look on the appearance of a ty-
phOon-swept ocean.
Devastation wrought by the earth
quakcs is much greater than at first re-
ported. Many more than 800 are believ-
ed to be dead. Reports summarize the
damage as follows:

respondent, there is no other page in
the history of Doodle so black as that
which Prosecuting Attorney Heney has
unfolded. Graft in the Golden Gate
City has been wholesale, limited by
nothing: it has included anything
and everything out Of which Il dol
lar could be squeezed. The grafters
overlooked nothing. spared nothing. ap-
parently feared nothing. From street
vendor to millionaire, from dive
Keeper to corporation official, from the
brothel to the brownstone front-there
lay the course of graft. Nothing was

have been indicted include two of the
city's wealthy capitalists and sixteen
supervisors. The inquisitors are not
through, either.
On an income of $4,000 year Mayor
Eugene +. Schmitz has been able to live
like a millionaire. He has furnished a
$4,000 miniature palace with furni-
ture, art treasures and draperies valued
at more than the cost price Of the build
ing he now calls home. Then he has a
$500 automobile fit for his Majesty
King Edward VII. He has buffers and
Wallets and cha.nbermads and chauf-
fcurs and other menialS to come and

to Europe. 1t cost something.
Besides spending $151,O0O with only
a visible $46,500 going he still has
money in the banks, few bundles Of
negotiable securities and little bunch
OF real estate that would trouble a
working man to pay taxes on. The
wonder is, where did it all come
from?" San Francisco's grand jury is
trying to uncover the answer.

more if necessary, and contributions to
this fund from other citizens are being
received daily.

The Evolution of
Household Remedies,

The modern patent medicine busi-
ness Is the natural outgrowth of tho
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxative and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the
family doctor. Such remedies az
picra, which was aloes and quassia,
dissolved In apple brandy. Some
times hop tonic, made Of whiskey,
hops and bitter barks. A score or
more of popular, homemade remedies
were thus compounded, the formulae
for which were passed along from
house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is q
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, I'm
pressed by the usefulness of one Of
these homemade remedies, would
take it up, improve it in many ways,
manufacture it on large scale, ad-
vertise it mainly through almanacs
for the home, and thus it would be-
come used over a large area. LAT
TERLY THE SEHOLD
REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A
MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by
the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania,
before it was offered to the public for
sale. DR.. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL
COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of
Mennonite origin. First, he pre-
scribed 1t for his neighbors and his
patients. The sale of it increased,
and at last he established manu-
factory and furnished it to the
general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs,
colds, sore throat, bronchitis and
catarrhal diseases generally.
THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE
LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA
and its value in the treatment Of
these ailments. They have learned
to trust and believe in DR.. Hartman's
judgment, and to rely on his remedy,
Peruna.

dronlng serves the double purpose of
bringing on the hypnotic state and at the
same time making the patient feel at ease,
and that there is to be no scolding or
cross-examination, the subject of conyer-
sation being such as to soothe the person
under treatment and turn her thoughts to-
ward cheerful matters. AS soon as the
hypnotic slumber ensues certain admoni-
tions are given to the sleeper in a sharp
er, more decided tone, assuring her that
definite changes will take place in her dis
position that will make her better and
happier care being taken to first ascer-
tain the particular bent Of mind or tai
ent If any exists so that her energies
can be directed along the lines of natural
fitness. This discourse is repeated several
times.
The good effect, the doctor says, is i'm
mediate, and usually lasting, although
there are occasional lapses. In such
cases, however, the second treatment is
apt to be more effective and permanent
in its results than the first. 1t is not
claimed that it will heal physical le-
sion. All that DR.. Quackenbos claims is
that by suggestion in hypnosis one can
make man do anything physically posi-.
bic and morally right. 1t brings about,
he says, a physiological as well as q
psychological change of being. He con-
tends that there is in every person what
Prof. James calls the higher spiritual
SELF" and st. Paul denominates the
"inner man." which, when aroused by
suggestion, is stronger than any passion
or appetite.

as had been announced. This being a
public meeting, good many ladies
took advantage of the invitation,
which was extended. and were pres
ent to hear the address of DR.. G.. T..
Wyche on typhoid fever, malarial
fever and tuberculosis, all of which
the doctors claim are preventable dis
eases.
The Herald and News gives fair
ly full synopsis of the remarks of DR..
Wyche and commends what he has to
say TO all of it's readers.
There is nothing Of greater import
ancc to the people of this community
than their health, and if by taking a
few precautions the diseases can be
prevented, it is much better than to
undertake to cure them.
The following is the address Of DR..
Wyche:
Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentle
men: deem it proper in beginning
this discussion, to tell you why I am
here. AT the last meeting of the Medi-
cal Society it was decided that we
should have public meeting and in
vite the people here to hear the dis
cussion on this subject, and I take as
flattery that have been selected to
open discussion on so important a
subject, but the subject was limited
to typhoid fever, tuberculosis and
malarial fever.
Now, in speaking on this subject;
when it was first mentioned, I thought
it would be bad idea to invite the
public, but after thinking about the
thing DR.. Mayer is correct, it was an
important matter to invite the ladies,
because the American citizen is so
much engaged in the rush after the
almighty dollar that he thinks of very
little else, and the ladies do think of
something else. Ladies could have
great deal Of influence, but I want
to say this, that am glad to have
you with us today and [ am glad to
come here, because I have something
to say to you and something that
want you to hear. T want to speak in
plain terms, so that you can under
stand what 7 say and mean, and T am
going to speak so plain that anyone
can understand
Typhoid fever is a disease, which
is caused by micro-organs bacillus,
a living thing, which has q verv Dc
culiar nature. This disease germ, as
it is so called, has a peculiar nature
so with other germs.
This germ Or bacillus will live in
dormant or quiesccnt state until it
is introduced into the system. IF it
falls upon suitable soil in the system
it produces remarkable results. It
multiplies. 1t is carried through the
system by means Of the b.ood-vessels.
1t produces fever, rapid emaciation,
great prostration and sometimes even
death itself, by hemorrhage or exhaus-
ton. 1t i" not my purpose to go into
q discussion Of all the changes, for T
have not the time. If T were able to
kdiscuss that fully, 7 have not the
Rhine, neither have You the patience
|& hear it.
