AWFUL SUFFERING From Dreadful Pains From YPouud on Foot-System All Run Down?Miraculous Cure by Cutlcura. "Words cannot speak highly enough for the Cuticura Remedies. 1 am now seventy-two years of age. My system had been all run down. My blood was so bad | that blood poisoning had set in. 1 had several doctors attending me, so finally 1 went to the hospital, where 1 was laid up for two months. My foot and ankle were almost beyond recognition. Dark blood flowed out of wounds in many places and I was so disheartened that 1 thought surely my last chance was slowly leaving u' me. As the foot did not improve you can readily imagine how I felt. I was simply sf disgusted and tired of life. 1 stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time 1 was not able to Tf wear a thoe and not aole to work. Some D: | one spoke to me about Cuticura. The con- W I sequences were 1 bought a set of the Cu-1 ticura Remedies of one of my friends, who ^ was a druggist, and the praise that I gave afte*1 the second application is beyond description; it seemed a miracle, for the Cu- it ticura Remedies took effect immediately. I washed iLe foo' with the Cuticura Soap ?' before applying the Ointment, and 1 took the Resolvent at the same time. After eJ two weeks' treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot jj during my illness and who Lave seen it since the cure can hardly belie e their wneyes. Robert Schoenhauer, Newburgh, V.\. Aug. 21, 1905."

With Broken Leic lie Stuck to Hit Post | ?lorriblo'Sufferings in Storui Hattte. Boston, Mass.?With her flags at half 1 mast the Leyland Liue Steamship Bos- < Ionian reached port with .sixteen sur- ' vivors of the British steamship British ! King, which foundered about 700 miles ; east of Boston, while on a voyage from j New York to Antwerp. i Reposing in a wooden box draped with the Union Jack, on the starboard side of the deck, was the body of Cap tain James O'Hagan, of the British King, who died on board the Bostonian of injuries sustained during the storm that sent his vessel to the bottom. Somewhere off Cape Sable the bodies of twenty-eight seamen are drifting about in a mass of wreckage, many of them with -life belts strapped about luem. Either ten or eleven other men were saved from the sinking craft by the German tank steamer Manbeim. The British King sailed from New York, bound for Antwerp with a miscellaneous cargo and 150 head of cattle. The passage was uneventful until the ship was struck by a strong northwest- | erly wind, which gradually grew into a gale. The hatches were battened down and Captain O'Hagati prepared for a < bad storm. Suddenly the gale developed into a hurricane and the deck fittinjrs of the steamer were carried away. The water, wliich had beeu gradually roughening, now moved in liuce billows. and these broke over the deck of the steamer, uuloosed the fastenings of her deck cargo of oil barrels and cast them into the sea. Later some of the hatches were torn open, and great volumes of water flowed into the ship's compartmeuts. putting out her fires and njakine her engines useless. Realizing the necessity of quick action Captain O'Hagan himself went into the hold and strove to repair the most damaged sections. It was while doing this that a barrel of oil fractured one or ms legs in two t places. In spite of this injury and internal hurts caused by his fall. Captain 0'ITagan refused to be carried to his cabin. He ordered that his leg be ( bound up and resumed command and k directed the efforts which were being ?*iade to plug up the hole in the ship's side. But the Captain's efforts to re- < pair his ship were fruitless. The water , gained continually, and all hands were . forced to take refuge on the main deck. . The cattle were swept overboard grad- < ually by the seas and drowned. Kr At the end of three days, when all ' hands had labored ceaselessly without , rest and with little food, the Bostonian . and Manheim were sighted, and to , these Captain O'Hagau displayed the I signal for assistance. .J When the first lifeboat was lowereJ j from the Bostonian the small craft was swept against the stern of the big ship 1 aud destroyed and several of the seamen were injured. Yet, despite the r boisterous condition of the sea, the c volunteers were rescued by lines s thrown out from their steamer. Another attempt to reach the sinking r ship was successful, and thirteen men. ? including Captain O'Hagan. were tak- 'j en from the British King to the Bos- 1 tonian. Then again a powerful billow carried the lifeboat against the side of J the shin and destroyed it and the life- t savers were thrown into the sea. to be rescued only after an hour's effort by their comrades. Volunteers from the Manheim. after I a heroic battle with the waves, had taken off eleven from the British King, but after this ueither of the steamers, in conesqueuce of the increasing gale. ^ could make nil attempt to reach the r foundering freighter. Moreover, dark- 1 ness fell and it was nu utter impossi- J' bility to do anything but wait for the * moonlight to guide them to the stricken r ship. In the darkness the British King, J which was then waterlogged and help- J less, plunged down bow first and was 1 lest. c Fifty-six men, including a stowaway, were on board the British King, anu r ! twenty-seven of these perished in their r ship.
