NEW DEATH PERIL IN
GAS OF AUTOMOBILES.

Chicago Eugene M humphrey, a
lawyer died at his home here day Of
what physicians term ''petromortis," or
automobile gas poisoning. According to
physicians 1t is the first fatal case In
Chicago from that cause.
An idea Of the violence with which
"petromortis" attacks its victims was
given to-day by DIR. John ID. Ellis, head
OF the department Of occupational dis
eases OF Rush Medical College.
"The thing is new to science in some
of its aspects" said DIR. Ellis. Per
sons who are subject to vertigo may
be attacked when in a close, small ga
rage. The danger lies in a failure OF
certain elements in the gasoline to oxi-
die. In any event there is quick suf-
fusion OF violent gas that renders the
victim faint. Thus II the exhaust OF
an automobile continues the result is
almost instant death.
'"The post -mortem showings are
those OF brain and lung congestion"
humphrey went to his garage last
night to get his automobile in which he
intended 10 deliver number Of Christ
mas gifts to poor families. An hour
later his body was found on the floor
of the garage, the engine Of the auto
mobile was running and the small room
filled with gas fumes.

TWO HUNDRED PATIENTS
IN TWO HOURS TIME.

Miss Ella G. Hoxie, missionary of
the American Board OF India, tells this
interesting and striking incident:
"One day went out to native VIII
lage, with DR.. Elenor Stephenson and
her native nurse, to one of her dispen-
saries. A schoolhouse was her distrib-
uting center, and the people fiocked
around 1t by scores. We visited the
sick in their homes, going first to the
home OF high caste Brahman. In a
dark room we found man half par
alyzed and DR.. Stephenson told him to
come to the hospital. There were peo-
pie with every imaginable disease, and
as the doctor went from one house %
another followed by dozens of pitiab
natives, hearing their tales of hardship
and giving them medicine, it seemed
a mission such as Christ performed.
Babies drugged with opium swung in
baskets from the ceilings, while the
unsanitary surroundings of the place
seemed a veritable breeding place for
disease. There were two hundred pa
| tients in two hours time, and the graf
| itude Of the people was very touching.
| When they learn to know the Chris
tians and through the doctors learn
| that the missionaries are their friends.
it is much easier to reach them. How
| much their women need to be taught
that their women have souls"

DEATHS FROM EPIDEMIC OF
THE GRIP ALARM OFFICIALS

Philadelphia.-The death rate from
the epidemic of the grip now sweeping
the State has been so high that SAM
uel G.. Dixon, State Health CommiC-
sioner issued statement at Harris
burg tonight calling attention TO the
seriousness of the situation and eau
toned the public that if the disease is
to be avoided Sacrifices must be
made"
Keep out of crowded places" IN.
Dixon says, las one person havirg the
grip may give it to carload of pas
sengers"
In this city the Bureau of Vital sta
tistics issued $50 burial permits 1ur-
ing the first three days of this week,
the majority of the deaths being due
directly or indirectly to the grip. This
is more than double the ordinary death
rate. 1t is estimated that nearly 10000
persons in Philadelphia alone are suf-
fering from the disease, which has
been particularly fatal to the very old
and the very young. Attendance at all
the public schools has been greatly re-
duced and in several sections of the
State schools and colleges have been
forced to close,
Reports from Camden, N. j., tonight
were to the effect that there are al
least 1000 cases in that city, with fifty
deaths during the past week.
The foregoing article is timely and
suggestive. There are many cases OF
grippe in this city, so far without any
fatality but unless warnings are needed
and followed no one can say what will
be the result.
