Consumption Remedy
Most "-1inent Throughout Europe
/ Preparation Brought
to America.

During the last year there has been
introduced into the United States a
remedy for Consumption, which comes
to us with a most remarkable list of
Endorsements from the Leading Special
lists of Europe.
1t has been used for several years on
the other side, and case after case has
yielded to it.
This preparation is called Sirolin,
and judging from the condition of some
of the patients whom it has saved, no
consumptive need fear hat he is too
far gone to be benefited by it.
Sirolin builds up the body by increas-
ing the appetite and assisting the diges-

on the asphalt twenty feet from the
vehicle. One of his arms was broken
He was taken to the Emergency Hos.
pital.
Some Of the women became hysterical
and for few moments there was q
small panic among the passengers. The
women on the front platform who were
partly covered by coal, screamed and
tried to jump.
Persy s. Foster, who was amons
the passengers in the front of the car,
said he regarded It as almost a miracle
that no one was injured.
