A~adon Receives Details.

london. Jan. 16.-The contradictory

renders it difficult to estimate the ex-
tent Of the calamity caused by the
earthquake and the subsequent con-
fiagration. Messages received by var
ious steamship and cable companies.

reports Of the destruction Of Kingston
showed great loss of life and were ex-

grave character. Ruin and desolation
city Of Kingston.
The shocks were felt from fifty to
sixty miles away, and one dispatch
from a temporary cable station at
Bull Bay, says that not single house
between there and Kingston is safe.
No estimate of the loss Of life from an
official source has yet come thru, but
the camp hospital appears to have been
the center of visitation, as no less than
forty negro soldiers were killed there.
There are isolated fatalities among
Europeans at Kingston, but apparently
the aggregate of white victims is small.
The distance between the buildings
known to have been destroyed is taken
to indicate the total loss of property
will be great Slight earthquake shocks
continued to be felt at Kingston.
London, Jan. 16.-The destruction

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug.
gst in Your Town and Shake
Them in a Bottle to
Mix This.

A wellknown authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle. and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, If taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, If any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many socalled Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc, some of which
do give relief. few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even
the small towns elcits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately. or the druggists
will mix the prescription il asked to.
