AM WAY WJ.REMA N'S ■ DEATH, '. ;X_ . , ' An inquest into the circumstances sur- ' rounding the death of William Edward : ! Henry Southwood, aged 33 years, who J. (lied in the Wellington Hospital on i Thursday evening as a result of a fall j from the Tramway' Department's motor I e.moigenoy wagon, was held by the coroj ucr; Mr. W. G. liiddel], Sad., yesterday, j The deceased was an 'employee of the , I Wellington City Corporation Tramways j Overhead Equipment Department, and j was a married man. i Sergeant Wade represented the police, j l!r. J. O'Sliea the city corporation, .Mr, IJ. Hutchison the Tramway Employees' ! Union, and Mr. P. J. O'Rcgan- the rela- ' tives of the deceased. . , John Kanute, driver of the overhead motor wagon, stated that ho and deceased , were sent along with the wagon to re- j pair an overhead wire in Thorndon Quay, . opposite Lambton Stntion, on Thursday morning. The deceased put the ladder up and' proceeded to climb it with ft tool j bag in one hand. Witness was . contcm- , plating taking up some wire when he , heard a dull thud, and on looking round , found deceased lying on the ground and , bleeding from the mouth. Deceased, had ; only 1 climbed up about 12ft. when the accident happened. The motor had stopped when deceased started to climb, ami it remained stationary. Ho could not say how deceased carnfe to'fall. Jack llussell, foreman of the Overhead Equipment Department, stated that lie had examined the motor emergency wagon, and found it to be in perfect order. The emergency wagon had a telescopic folding ladder, and this was also found to be in good order. He had knowfc deceased, and found him a steady and reliable worker. The coroner stated that medical evidence was taken at. the hospital yester- i dn.y morning, -and was,to the effect that j deceased was admitted to the hospital ] suffering from a fracture of the base of the skull. An operation was performed 7 to relieve the compression, but deceased ( never regained consciousness, and died at , 7.15 p.m. on Thursday. J The verdict was to the effect that the deceased had died from a fractured skull i sustained through accidentally falling froiii the 'adder of the motor emergency j wagon. At the meeting of the executive of tho • 1 Scottish Society, held, last Wednesday, a ' largo increase in tho membership was re- ( ported, and, to givo tho new members an 1 opportunity of becoming acquainted with t the doings of the society, it was decided * to hold an ingleside. on Wednesday, 1 March 5, in the Scottish Hall, Courtonay Place. MAGNESIA FOR DYSPEPTICS. c SPECIALIST RECOMMENDS IT IN- t STEAD ,OF DRUGS. v "Only those' in constant touch with \ sufferers from indigestion and dyspepsia l can fully realise tho harm done by tho improper use of drugs and artificial digestants," remarked an eminent special- i ist recently. "Personally I rarely novo- ' cate the uso of duugs in the treatment of digestive or stomach troubles, for in ■practically every instance I have proved : the underlying cause to be excessive t acidity of the stomach and consequent fermentation of tho food contents. TlicnN { fore, in' place of the once, widoly-used .. drugs I invariably recommend tho -use j of magnesia to neutralise the acidity , and stop tho food fermenting, and tho excellent results I have obtained 'during f the past tlirco years' convinco me that t tliero is no finer treatment for indiges- r tion, dyspepsia, etc., ctc., It must,of ; course, be clearly .understood that i do T not employ or advise the use of such p forms of magnesia as citrates,, acetates, j sulphates, etc.—'these would often do more T harm .than good; .nothing but bisurated magnesia—the form prescribed by pliysi- v dans—should ever be used to neutralise n stomach acids. This is not at all diffi- T cult to obtain—in fact,'l find that most chemists now stock the preparation 'in tablet form in addition, to the ordinary powder. Half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in powder form or 'two .com-. r pressed tablets taken with a little water after meals will usually be found quite sufficient to instantly neutralise the acidity and prevent fond fermentation, thereby ensuring painless, natural .digestion for even chronic sufferers."—Advt. "Tis something to be willing to commend.''—Southerne. } And just think of the thousnnds of j< homes in tho Dominion that commend P Baxter's Lung Preserver.
