FIFTEEN CASES IN GOTHAM

New York-Although the cholera
situation quarantine at present is re-
garded by DR. Alvah H. Doty, health
officer of the port of New York, as
being well in hand, he did not con-
ceal his apprehension that New York
was in the very midst of threat
ened invasion of cholera" Further,
Doctor Doty declared "the quarantine
department of every port in this coun-
try is facing very serious and oner-
GUS task during the coming summer
and 1t is not improbable that many
vessels arriving from Italy during the
next few weeks will bring one or
more cases of the disease.
The official report of the situation
shows that there are fifteen cases of
the scourge at Swinburne Island hos.

the disease. Within the past twenty
four hours one more victim has died.

EXPLOSION KILLS Fl MINERS
Coal Mine In Pennsylvania Scene Of
Horror.

Dubois, Pa.-Twenty-one miners
were killed in an explosion in the
shaft of the Cascade Coal and Coke
companys mine at Sykesville, nine
miles from here. All of the dead but
three are foreigners. The explosion
was slight, as evidenced by the small
damage done the mine, but the dead
ly afterdamp is responsible for most
of the deaths.
Three sets of brothers and father
and son are numbered among the
dead. None of the bodies was mutt
lated and few showed any burns.
The first intimation of the explosion
at the surface was when the safety
door on the fan blew open and the
machinery began to run wild. 1t was
surmised there was trouble below, but
it was almost midnight when rescu-
ers could enter the mine. 1t took
some time to get the scene of the
accident, mile and half from the
opening, because the rescuers were
obliged to carry oxygen with them.
Neither mine officials nor mine in
spectors can assign any cause for the
explosion, as there are no survivors
from whom to gain an explanation,
but it is the general belief that some
Of the men drilled into a pocket Of
gas. The shaft is known as non
gaseous one, and Fire Boss John
Brown reports he was through the
head where the explosion occurred
only an hour before and found no
trace Of gas.

Al EIcht Years, Walk.

Hiram Davis Of Newburg went for a
walk with his father eight years ago.
The father stopped to talk with a
friend, and Hiram, then about ten years
old, walked on. He was never seen
after that until he walked in to his
parents home recently.
The police all over the east were
on the lookout for him, the Hudson

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD s.
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by geAtle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe. they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
! had my way 1 would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold sfor the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re.
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach. liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-.
rich the blood instead Of impoverish
It; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, nc
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
