TWO SHIPPING DISASTERS.

Sufferings of the Survivors. San Fbancisco, Nov 14. The overdue British ship Glecaird is a total bss. She was nearly seven months out from England, and 35 per cent, was paid on her by the underwriters but there were few taker?, as everybody thought the vesspl would come in. The "Merchants' Exchange,'' however, received cable news from Buenos A 3 res yesterday that the vessel had been wrecked, and nearly all the crew drowned. The Gl-ncaird came to grief off Port Margaret, Saten ; slant, at the Southern extremity of South America. She was driven on the recks in a violent storm. The officers and crew took to the boats, and made an att -mpt to reach the shore, but of the thirty-three souls on board only three escaped. The remainder including Captain English, and and the second officer and third officer perished. With two members of the crew the first officer drifted for several days ia an open boat without food or water. Thßy were finally rescued by the Chaco, bound for Buenos Ayres. The shipwrecked men were half dead when taken aboard the steamer. Conlinuing her voyage, the Chaco picked up tho crow of another vessel, which had been lost, a French, the Astrea, which sailed from Shields on July 12',h for Valparaiso. She took fire when off Cape St John. When all hope of saving her was gone, the captain and his men abandoned the burniDg vessel, and took to the boats. The Astrea was abandoned on October Bth. The captain, the first officer, the second officer, and twenty one of the crew were found, and rescued by the Chaco. Six of the Astrea's sailors, who were in one of the small boats, are still missing, and it is supposed that they were drowned. The Glencaird and tho Astrea sailed from the same port, Shields, England, though the Glencaiad left two months before the French ship, but both were lost in tho same locality.

That lump it a man's stomach which makes him irritable and miserable and unfit for business os pleasure is caused by indigestion. Indigestion, like charity, covers a multitude of sins. The trouble may be in the stomach, liver or bowels. Wherever it is it is caused by the presence of poisonous refuse matter, which Nature has been unable to rid herself of unaided. In such cases wise people t send down a health officer, personified by one of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills, to search out the -seat of trouble and remove the cause. One of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills will remove a, very big lump and act as a gentle lixative. A short course of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills will cure indigestion (permanently). They also cure constipation. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills cure Biliousness, Indigestion, Constipation Dyspepsia, Headaches, Liver and Kidney coinpUin's, Piles, Pimple 3 and Blotches.
