CHOLERA IN
OUR MIDST
NEW YORK HAS FIFTEEN CASES
OF ASIATIC
CHOLERA.
OFFICIALS ALARMED
GOVERNOR DIX MAY BE ASKED
TO TAKE CHARGE OF
SITUATION.
Western Newspaper Union News Berries.
New York.—Alvah H Doty, health
officer of the port, regards the chol
•ra situation as being well in hand
but does not conceal his apprehen
sion that New York is "in the very
midst of a threatened invasion of
cholera.’*
Further, Dr. Doty said, “the quar
antine department of every port in
this country is facing a very serious
and onerous task during the summer,’*
and it is not improbable that many
vessels arriving from Italy in the next
few weeks will bring one or more
cases of the disease.
The official report of the situation
■hows there are fifteen cases at
Swinburne Island hospital and four
cases symptomatic of the disease. One
more victim has died.
The steamer Perugia has been de
tained and the medical staff is pre
paring to make bacteriological exam
lnatlous of the 248 persons from the
■teamer Moltke who are now under
observation.
It is possible Governor Dix will be
oalled upon to take charge at quaran
tine. Charles Dushkind, attorney
for the immigrants, whose charges
against Dr. Doty are being investi
gated by a commission made public
a letter he wrote to Judge Bulger of
the commission, suggesting the latter
call upon Governor Dix to take charg?
of the health department.
Washington.—The public health and
marine hospital service is watching
closely the appearance of cholera in
New York and is co-operating in every
way w’lth the health authorities of
that state. One of the experts of the
service has departed to lend further
assistance and instructions have been
sent to agents at all suspected ports
abroad to exert increased vigilance.
Government officials scout the idea
that there is any danger of anything
approaching an epidemic of cholera.
They believe the few cases are merely
sporadic and such as have been dis
covered have been carefully traced and
all means have been employed to pre
vent a spread of the plague.
Gas Kills 21 Miners.
Dubois, Pa. Twenty-one miners
were killed in an explosion in the
shaft of the Cascade Coal & Cok*
Company’s mine at Sykesville, nine
miles from here. The explosion oc
curred at 9:30, but it was after mid
night before the extent of the dis
aster was known. All of the dead but
three are foreigners. The explosion
was slight as evidenced by the small
damage done in the mine, but the
deadly damp is responsible for most
of the fatalities. Upon learning of
the accident, the bureau of mines at
Washington immediately ordered out
Rescue Car No. 7 from Pittsburg
Four trained rescuers and the neces
sary apparatus were aboard.
Hoke Smith Goes to Senate.

A trial package of Munyon’s Taw Paw
Pills will i>e sent free to anyone on re-
Jurat. Addrees Profeseor Munyon, 53-1 A
•fferaon Hta., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Profeaaor Munyon. Your communi
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your caae will be diagnosed aa care
fully as though you had a personal inter*
view,
Munyon’a Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxative* or cathartlca. Thay
coax the liver into activity by gentla
method*. They do not scour, they do
not gripe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the eecretions of the liver
and stomach in away that soon puta
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation ia responsible for moat ail
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which ia really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole ayitem becomes poisoned, caus
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
I had my way I would prohibit the sale
of nine tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forma of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon’s Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en
rich the blood Instead of Impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pilla contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
Regular size bottle, containing 45 pilla,
