Disastrous Storms.

DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AN©

LOSS OF LIFE.

(By Telegraph) (S.s Sierra at Auckland) Sak Francisco, Feb 9 Terrible storms have been raging on both sides of the Atlantic. Galea swept the coasts of Long Island and New Jersey for more than twenty four hours, ending on February 3rd, bringing death and disaster to gailon and their craft. Wreckage strewed the ehorei for some distance, and the westerly gale blew at the rate of seventy milei aa hour,

Among the vessels whioh suffered wis the British chip Olarerdale, from China and Japan for New York. The vessel grounded on the Brigantine shoal, and the wind and gea being on favour able, ahe was still fast at the kit account., brotdside on, deep in the Band, with wrecking tags around ber. The vessel haa a cargo valued at two •nd h»lf million dollarß, consisting of tea *nd other merchand se. She is al most a new steel ship, and of SBOO tow register.

On the mainland trains were every where delayed, ane wires down. Many towns near New York aud Penngylvinia were out off, and traffic entirely sus pended, owing to the blizz.rd and heary enow storms.

Cablegram, from London also, dated February 3rd, say:—" Reports of the damage from the wind and snow storms on the Continent and in Great Britain continue to arrive, Oarriage and street car traffic in Madrid has been suspended, and trains are delayed. Some towns in Northern Spain are isolated, and fruit trees have been dec* troyed in Switzerland, Many villages are cut off from communication, and telegraphic communication with Itaiy is interrupted. There ie more snow in Venice than at any time during the past twenty-five years, Tbe River Tiber rose thirty-five feet. The lower portion of Rome is flooded, as well as the Forum, Pantheon, and the Temple of Vesta, Tbe water of the Tiber ii receding." After tossing helplessjy la the JSng« lish Channel for sixty-five hours, the Dover-Qstend passenger steamer, Marie Henriette, was towed into Os tend on the morning of February 3rd. Tbe steam trawler Anlaby, with a crew of twelve men, belonging to Hull waa lost in a snow storm off Iceland. The first officer of the Ftench ship Chauaral was landed at Falmouth. He is the sole survivor of a crew of twenty-two men of the vessel which was capsized of! TTshant.

Dear Sirs,—l feel It my duty to give yon this enclosed testimonial In favor of Ross Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indlgeption, eto. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one bub yours, and oho day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came Into the shop where I was employed. He remarked 'Jack, you look very ill' (and you may depend I was). Re added, ' Will you take some medicine if I procure it j I replied I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly aa directed, and to my delight I began tD geb well, and after baking three largo bottleo I was a new man—thanka to your great discovery. I always keep Ib by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success wich it thac such a medicine merits.

A BROKEN TUMBLER AND ITS CONSEQUENCES: Kai Nai, Lower Hufct, September 3, 1901 DiOAR Sir,-—Possibly the short account contained in this latter, in reference to the use of PLANTEKOA OINTMENT, may be of Interest to yon. We hsd just removed from Black bridge to the Nai Mai when ray daughter Ethel had the misfortune to step on a broken tumbler, making a fearful gash, catting into the ball of the foot und laying open the big toe in two halvee. We had it attended to, but it seemed to be getting worse, when, about five daya after the accident, we were advised to use PLAN TKKOA OINTMENT, being jsssared that PLANTEKOA wonld soon heal it. At thia time it was very bad, the foot swollen and hard, and the wound had an angry fiery appearance, and locked as if blood poisoning was setting in. However, we faithfully applied Plantekoa Ointment, and wlchout going into details, eofll :e to say that in a short time the foot was healed, she was able (o put her boot, on and attend school again. I would also like to state that I used Plantekoa Ointment for my son, who had a gathering or abscess in the ear. He waa home from work for some time with it and was in a tad stats. Tho discharge from the ear waa of such a character that it would set up irritation on the side of the face, and the pain was very severe. In this case Plantekoa Ointment waa success fulfy applied, and in a few days my son resumed work. I cannot recommend Plantekoa Ointment too highly. Yours sincerely, Mks Jane Swan, This wonderful ointment ought to be in every home, not only to be there in ca.e of accident or emergency, but for everyday purposes, its uses are legion. It Is sold by all the leading storekeepers and chemists at 2s per large box, or sample boxes for sixpence, while to meet the demand for this ointment from farmers and others, for use with horses and cattle, it has been placed on the market in half pound tins at 4s 6d.
