Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

IMMENSELY OF THE
BLOW BECOMING
GREATER EVERY HOUR
Hundreds Being Buried as
'Nameless Dead"-Cor~
.flagration Menace Ends.

HALIFAX, N. S., Dec. 7.-As
tho day wore on the immensity Of
the disaster Of Thursday increased
rather than diminished. Hun
rdreds Of bodies were taken to tho
moeaues, and rescue squads were
constantly finding new victims
buried under tons Of debris until
the blizzard forced them to cease
work. There is every reason to
believe that many more will be nc
covered.
No concerted effort has been
made as yet to complete a list OF
the dead, as every effort is being
made to identify those who per-
ished. The condition. of many OF
the bodies makes this exceedingly
difficult. and :: large proportion Of
those vino lost their lives will be
buried rs "remeisss dead" There
Is no reason. however, - change
the estimate c; 2.GC0 dead and
5000 injured.
The fires which had been raginfl
for "a hours in the north end
were brought under control early
to-day. and the city is no longer
menaced by confIcgration.
While soldiers. sailors and VOL
unteers were searching the ruins
Of the rorth Cd to day business
was entirely suspended. The lead
ing citizens devoted their energies
to organizing work of relief. and
substantial progress was made in
this respect.
