Met Death In not stsron.

A fearful death was that Of man
named John Baird at a mill In New
York. AS he bent over large vat
filled with boiling starch. he slipped
and fell into the hot mixture. He was
literally boiled to death before work

hot starch had reduced the mans

Of spring. For arrangements of the di-

operating directly upon the liver and ali

stimulating a healthy activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, &c
every portion of the system, aiding in the
