Across a huge mass Of snow and Ice
poised on the brink of a precipitous noun
tainside, a party of climbers, roped to-
gether, are cautiously threading their way.
At any moment a puff of wind or q false
step may start the avalanche down the
mountain, and hurl the travellers into
eternity. You would certainly consider the
situation of the adventurous travellers dan
gerous, wouldn't you?
And yet you are in similar peril your
self If you are neglecting that touch Of
bronchitis or asthma, that cough or cold
which may lead to terrible consequences.
Why not take effective measures by pur-
chasing a bottle of Abbey Syrup. Clois-
ter Sancto Paulo, n remedy which has
simply astonished Europe with it's mar
velous results in the cure of all forms of
bronchial and lung disease?
Abbey Syrup is an infallible remedy
and though harmless in itself, is radical
cure for coughs and colds, asthma, bron-
chitis, sore throat, Group and whooping
cough, influenza and all chest, throat and
lung troubles.
This is the original remedy and is
sold and personally recommended in
Yale by Staley IL Bricker.

Sixteen Villages Reported to Have Been
Completely Destroyed by
Earth Tremors.
WHOLE TOWNS ARE tNGULFfD

Teheran, Persia, Feb. 19,-Between
5000 and 1000 persons dead and six
teen villages devastated is the brief
record of an earthquake disaster in
the province of Luristan, Western
Persia, on Jan. 90, which has been
told in long-delayed messages receiv-
ed here yesterday
This earthquake, one that was re-
corded on seismographs throughout
the world, and which mystified scien-
lists everywhere, was one Of the most
disastrous in the history Of the world,
if the meager reports that came in
yesterday may be credited.
In view Of the marked impression
the quake made on the seismographs
Of the world, however, 1t is feared
that when the facts are known it will
be found that the loss is much greater
than reports received to date Indicate
Terrible Sufferings in Ruins.
News of the disaster, concerning
which not one detail had been receiv-
ed before yesterday, came by round
about route from the stricken dis
trict, passed by word of mouth from
village to village, and finally taken up
by messengers.
Some Of the stories of the disaster
that are told embody instances of suf-
fering that eclipse the experiences of
the survivors of the quake at Messina
and Reggie last December. There
was practically none left to give sue
cor in the towns of Luristan Almost
the entire population was rendered
Helpless by the tumblng Of the build
1ngs as shock after shock shook the
very mountains, tumbling down the
walls and rolling great rocks from the
crags into the ruined settlements.
There are seven towns of consider
able size in Luristan, while there are
numerous villages of Importance just
over the border.
Whole Villages Swallowed.
The government made every effort
to get news yesterday from the prov
ince, but the results were meager. It
was learned that the center of the dis
turf ance was in the vicinity of Hela-
nor, Wnere the greatest casualties &C.
Cured.
Several villages are reported to
have been completely engulfed-swal-
lowed by the earth-with every resi-
dent Great assures opened in the
valleys, mountains apparently being
cleaved apart, only to come together
again as the tremor passed, burying
towns and all the life therein beyond
all hope of rescue, even if there were
rescuers at the scene.
1t is now twenty-three days since
this terrible disaster of Jan. 90, and
there is believed to be little hope that
any of those who were imprisoned in
the wreckage Of buildings can be
taken out live.
