Burning Well Abandoned.
City of .Mexico, Nov. 10. After an
outlay of between $400,000 and
$500,000 in a vain endeavor to con
trol the burning oil well, Pearson &
Sons have decided to abandon the
wells altogether. After the Pearsons
had just finished a dam costing $100,
000 to hold back the oil. the ground
'underneath caved in and the dam
disappeared. Four acres have been
taken by the crater so far and it is
enlarging daily. It is flowing at the
rate of 10,000,000 gallons a day, ac
cording to an estimate. Millions of
dollars' worth of oil has been lost,
two men have been suffocated by the
noxious gases, and fifty soldiers used
in fighting the fire and later to build
embankments to impound the oil are
in the hospital as a result of pois
onous gases. Vegetation for miles
around has been destroyed and many
inhabitantof the region are suffering
from swollen eyes. There is no in
dication that the oil will stop flowing
or the crater cease growing. No bot
tom to the crater has been discovered.
If you suffer from constipation and
liver trouble Foley's Orino Laxative
will cure you permanently by stimu
lating the digestive organs so they
will act naturally. Foley's Orlno
Laxative does not gripe, is pleasant to
tako and you do not have to take lax
atives continually after taking Orino.
Why continue to be the slave of pills
and tablets.
