Toronto daily papers last week,
refers to former residents of town :
Coal gas corning from an old htsh.
ioned kitchen range almost caused
the death of an entire family at
their home, in the rear of 54 Te-
cumseh street, on Sunday night, and
as it was they were just discovered
in time to save their lives. The
names of those who had such a nar-
row eseapo are : Geo. Smith, sr.,
aged 64 ; Mrs. Rebecca Smith aged
64 ; their two daughters, Lulu aged
21 and Blanche aged 19, and their
son George aged 24, The discov-

quarter to seven, and looking out
saw that the blinds in her father's
house were all drawn. She pre-
pared her husband's breakfast, and
as he was about to start for the
water works where he is employed,
she again looked at her father's
house and saw the blinds were still
drawn, and thinking that someone
was sick she asked her husband to
go and see what the matter was,
Mr. 13nliantyne went to the rear door
of the house and pounded it, but
could snake no one hear. 1[o finally
kicked in the door, and was met by
his sister-in-law, Mies Lulu Smith,
who had managed to crawl to the
vestibule door, She; had been up
several times during the night with
her younger sister, who was 111.
She was therefore not so badly over.

informed Mr, Ballantyne that every.

tnother in their room totally uncon.
scions, and their son in his room in
a like condition. He called to his
wife who hurried in and opened the
doors and windows, and Dr. M. 3,
Perkins and Dr, W. T. Williams,
both of Bathurst street, were sum-
moned. The five members of the
family were almost dead from the
poisonous fumes, and if it had not
been for their efforts the entire fam.

They were sufficiently recovered
last evening to relate the story of
their escape, and were all visibly
affected by their adventure.

to my pariIbiouers. 1 believe there
is nothing better for throat and lung
troubles or weakness or ruu•dowu vi -
ten. For speaker's sora throat I have
found Psyching very beneficial,"
Rev. W, A. Stevens, Paisley, Ont.:
"Psychlns seemed ,just the stimulant my
system aeeded. I stall add ray tentirnoa,f
as to its efficacy at every opportunity."
Rev. Ti. U, Browne, Amherst Head,
N.0,, "f have often recommended
Psychine since taking it myself, tar it
is a cure for the troubles you specify,"
Rev. Chas, Stirling, Bath, N.B.: "I
have used Psyehlite in my family; the
results were marvelous. I have visited
people who state that they never !mil
its equal. 1 strongly recommend it.
Rev, J. S, I. Wilson, Markdale, Oat.:
"I Laic taken two bottles of Psychics
and am pleased to'say that I am greatly
improved iu health, I was troubled
with my throat, but now f find it about
restored to its normal condition. J
dud my work very much lees taxing,
