LIFE
New York, Aug. 16.-News spread
along the piers and through tne streets
in the neighlwrhood of "Suicide Pier"
yesterday, that Capt. Bill McMahon
was dead.
The tidings laid a burden of grief on
the district around Grand street and
East River, where they will tell you
that Capt. Bill was the bravest man in
the land. The records of the United
States Volunteer Life Saving corps, in
which he bore a commission, show that
he saved seventy-three lives although
he was only 2(5 years of age.
Capt. Bills's maxim was tnat life
except his own—was the dearest thing
in the world, so precious, in truth,
that no risk was too great for him if
he could save man, woman or mild.
When ice was tumbling in the East
river and the tide hurled it against the
bulkheads with crashing sound, Capt.
Bill woulS sit awake iu the "shanty'
near the old Grand street ferry, eager
to respond to the despairing ory of a
would be suicide or thesmninons/'man
overboard."
His fidelity to the slelf-imposed trust
cost him his life. Two little boys fell
into the river Thursday night playing
in the abandoned feiry house on
Grand street.
Capt. Bill had just entered the
"shanty" as the life-saving station is
known in the district, when he heard
the children's cries. He was over
heated, but sprang to the rescue sav
ed the children whose names were not
taken, and retained to the shanty
where he was seized with chills

Deafness Cannot he Cured
by local applications, is they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed on
dition of the mucous lining of the En
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing1, and when it is en
tirelv closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the intlamation can be taken out
and this tube is restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which ie nothing but an iu

there will be no objections, but other
wise the vacations must wait. We

Symptoms of Stomach Catarrh.
"The affection may result from errors
in diet, or the use of alcohol. The ex

is likely to cause it.
"Highly seasoned or coarse, irritating
foods, sometimes induce the disease.

affection, one of tho primary causes ia
an unhealthy state of the mouth, nose
or throat, such as bad teeth or catarrh

"The patients are usually poorly
nourished, pale, sallow, thin, fatigue
easily induced, muscles ilaliby. Los#
of appetite or capricious appetite.
"The tongue is usually coated brown
ish gray. Cankered mouth is a com*
mon occurrence.
"Pain is not common. When present
it is usually dull, and is aggravated by
food, especially when this la of an irri
tating character.
may occur in the
morning.
Also after meals. Sickness to the stom
ach frequent and persistant.
"Food produces dull headache, and a
feeling of general nervous distress.
Constipation usually quite marked."
These symptoms, given by Gould and
Pyle, coincide exactly with the frequent
descriptions I)r. llartman is receiving
from patients
all over the United States.
If you have any of these symptoms
get a bottle of Peruna. Take a done be
