The poor patient, rid the rich patient, too, can do much I'- tfer at homo by proper attention to V«»d digestion, and a regular use of Gorman Syrup. Free expectoration in the morning is made certain by Gorman syrup, so is a good night’s n-rtt and the absence of that weakening cough and debilitat ing night sweat. Restless nights and the exhaustion due to coughing, the greatest danger and dread of the consumptive, can be prevented or stopped by taking German Syrup liberally and regu larly. Should you be able to go to a warmer climate, you will find that of the thousands of consumptives there, flu* few who are benefited and regain strength are those who use German Hryup Trial bottles, 25c ; regular size, 75c Cherokee Drug Co., Gaffney; t L.

Toronto, Ontario, April 20.—The fire that raged throughout the night and up to an early hour today in Toron to’s wholesale and retail business district was the most disastrous in the history of the city. The total loss is conservatively estimated at $lo.0o0,000. The principal warehouses of the city were reduced to ashes and nearly 25u firms were put out of business. The area covered by the fire is three Mocks in length and varies from halt a block to two blocks in width. Every auilding on Bay street, from Melinda -treot southward to the Esplanade, at the water front, was wiped out and ’h<' fire spread on Wellington and front streets and the Esplanade, along .ne water front, from their intersection with Bay street, for distances of a tew hundred feet for a whole block. Number of Buildings Destroyed. The total number of buildings de stroyed is Bay street, east side. 20; west side, 30. Wellington street, north side, 12; south side, 7. From street, north, 22; south, 27. Esplan ade. 4. Piper street, 1. Early in the evening when the fire assumed alarming proportions, appeals for assistance were sent to London-, Hamilton, Montreal and Buffalo. Special trains were at once started from these points, but it was long after midnight before the first of them began to arrive. At an early stage of the fire Chief Thompson got trapped by the flames and was forced to jump from the top of a building. A network of wires broke his fall and saved his life. He •scaped with a broken leg. When the chief made the leap lor his life a traveler from Montreal was on the root with him and no trace of him has since been seem. It is probable that he perished in the flames. How the Fire Started. The fire started in the c-levatog shaft in the rear of the Currie build ing. Thence the flames spread across the street to Brown P.ros. and from there east to Bay street. The wind, which had been brisk, increased to a (rale. A general alarm was sounded, but before all the force had reached the scene the lire had leaped to the high buildings occupied by Ansley A Co. and Pugsley, Dingman A Co. Then Suckling A Co.’s building, adjoin ing Currie’s on the east, caught fire and almost simultaneously great forks of llaine began to shoot from it. Firemen’s Desperate Battle. It was here that the firemen united forces and made a desperate attempt to check the progress of the flames northward in the heart of the city They won, but not until they had lost control of the flames which were now sw< i ping down Bay street toward the river front. For over half an hour the fire in Front street burned fiercely, practical ly unchecked. It then began to work itself back iij>on Bay street, Gordon Mackay A Co.’s warehouse serving as fuel. A few minutes before midnight the Canada Rubber company’s plan! startefl to burn. While it lasted, this fur* shed the hottest and fiercest con flagration of the night. The flames shooting thousands of feet in the air and scattering great masses ot sparks and cinders on every s.de, con tinned north on Bay street until a complete circle of fire had formed around the Brock building, on the southwest corner of Ray and Welling ton streets, over which the flames had hurled in their first dash south. The Brock building was soon in ashes. It was only the intervening park that saved the Queen’s hotel, one ot the finest hotels in the city. So im minont seemed the danger that all th< guests hurriedly packed their belong ing and left and everything portable was removed from the hotel. The flames swept across Bay street in half a dozen places, and shortly before midnight it became apparent that the whole block south of East Wellington street from the Queens ho tel and the old Manning residence, fac Ing on Wellington street, was doomed The Gordon Mackay building, on the northwest corner of Front and Bay streets which for nearly 70 years, wa.- one of the finest establishments in the city, made a fierce blaze. The Copp Clark building ami Warwick Bros, and Rutter’s was destroyed at about the same time. The heat was ho great and the smoke and flying em berg so thick that the firemen were absolutely helpless and could not get near enough to the fire to play a sin gle stream uism it. To add to the tenlfylng effect of the scene, came a bombard men, of exploding giant fire crackers and other fireworks stored In the Copp Clark building. The fire next leaped across Front tr et to the McPherson Bros, boot , ;tn I hoe warebon e and adjoining •nildlngH. Ea tward on Front and - i'h to the K anlade the flames leaped from building to building with irresistible fury. Fire Spread Swiftly. In forty-five minutes the flames had leveled t iv building between Front street lud the Esplanade, on the west hide of Bay -treet The firemen who had been forced to retreat -lowly on Front street and the E.-plande con- central d their forces and uu.de a des perate stand. They failed this time. The flames 1< aped across the street below Front street and destroyed Mc Laughlin A Co.'s flour mills at the southeast corner of Bay and Front. From there the fire took an easterly course toward Yong street and danger ously near the wharves. On the south west it burned itself out lor Jack of fuel. The flames were also spread ing toward the east along both sides of Front street and the south side ot Wellington street. At 2 o’clock the Eddy warehouse, the Lincoln paper mill warehouse and the Kleinert Rubber company’s warehouses were burning on the north side of Front street. On the south side several warehouses and stores were burning, while on West Welling ton street the Union bank and five warehouses were destroyed. :. j r ^ AT NATIONAL CAPITOL.
