Medicine
Farmer Says It Does The
Work Better Than Any
Remedy; Thousands Praise
Herb Extract.
‘Tin glad to make this public
statement in behalf of Miller’s Herb
Extract. One regret, I should have
known of this good medicine vears
rgo. Then I would have been spar
ed a lot of unnecessary suffering —
hundreds of dollars wasted on med
icines that did me practically nc
good at all. It's just the medicine
I’ve needed for a long time and now \
that I have found it. I want Jo pass !
the good word along to others in ;
poor health."
J. L. POTBAT
“A farmer, as well as every oth- I
tr working man, needs to keep
physically fit for his work. But j
with me for several years, ill health i
had the best of me and I was In no j
suitable condition to push ahead '
with my work. I lost time, spent a I
lot of money for different treat- 1
ntents all to no avail until I g.'i I
started on Herb Extract. Now that ;
this medicine has thoroughly
cleansed my system, rid me of
chronic constipation, sour stomach,
Indigestion, lazy liver, billiousuess,
headaches and has completely regu
lated by bowels I feel like a new'
man altogether. No other medicine
would do as much for me, hence, I
believe Miller's Herb Extract (form
erly called Herb Juice) Is the best
medicine that con be bought #ny
where It has done me worlds of
good and has made me feel years
J ounger and I know that I am much
stronger than I used to be. I think i
every farmer needs it, in fact, be- I
heve every family ought to have a !
bottle in the house for every mem- '
ter of the family. It certainly beats I
all I ever tried and I gladly recom- ;
mend It to everybody in poor healtn
who needs a r,ood medicine that
will do the work." Mr, J. L. Po'.’at.

continue to resist renewed efforts
:o put it out. For. long standing as
t is. it lias not yet even approach
ed the longevity of several other
seemingly permanent fires in dif
ferent parts of the country that
can show New York's steadfast
smolderer a thing or two about com
bustive longevity.
Some fires that have burned in
the coal regions, especially, have
much longer records. There i,s, for
example, the Kentucky coal mine
lire that burned for more than
half a century, and was-finally put
out only when a nearby river was
diverted from its course to flow into
the shaft of the mine.
The problem of which the Ken
tucky firiFwas a, manifestation has
not been uncommon in coal districts
since coal was first taken from the
earth. For the inaccessibility of the
tunnels and galleries of a mine make
fire-fighting peculiarly difficult.
And the beginning of such fires is,
on the other hand, perilously sim
ple. Spontaneous combustion of na
tural gases in the mine has often
caused sucii ^ fire. Sometimes mine
fires have been of other accidental
or deliberately incendiary origin.
Fire Forty-Five Years Old
The fire that has been burning in
the coal lands around New Stralts
vill%, O., for the last 45 years is it
case in point. This fire in that
time has accomplished damage to an
extent estimated in billions of doh
lars,
The coal In that region—the
Hocking Valley—is of the bitumin
ous variety and of an excellent
grade. It averages 1,700 tons to the

acre per loot of thickness, accord
ing to authorities and it is 10 iect
thick. In the 'bourse of the years
some 65 square miles of the area
have been burned—in other words,
about 700.000.000 Ions of coal havt
been destroyed.
"the fire in that region was start
ed by striking miners in 1884. They
began by setting the old Plummer
mine, on the road between Nev,
Straitsville and Pawnee, afire.
Then* driven to desperation by the
fact that strike-breaking miners
were being imported to take their
places, according to account, they
proceeded to set seven other mines
in the vicinity on fire, and the con
flagration that has lasted to this
day began.
Since that day the underground
menace has moved several miles in
each direction, causing cave-ins and
razing buildings and roads and
everything else built over its course.
Time and again attempts have been
made to put it out, and sometimes,
when elaborate enough means were
employed, the rile has been check
ed But only in a particular area,
and, usually, but. tor a short time*
Then once more the names have ap
peared.
The reason for the apparent im
possibility ol checking the Hocking
Valley lire lies in the fact4 yiat it
is situated in a stratification that
rises, at Innumerable points, very
close to the surface. It is high m
the slopes and never very deep, so
that one of the most effective meth
ods of fighting coal fires in other
legions—covering the entrances to
the mines and thus smothering the
flames—cannot be employed. For
here the holes, through which au
to keep up the combustion enters,
are everywhere. And each time one
is covered up another one is open
ed
Lurid explosions and cave-ins are
so numerous that the inhabitants
.pf the valley have become almost
accustomed to them, Along the road
1 between New Straitsville and Paw -
nee signs warn the motorist that
the pavement he Is riding on may
collapse. And not without reason,
lor caverkis 10 to 15 feet deep have
occupied along that road as ths.
smoldering fire, working Us way
along a coal fissure. lias burst its
way to the surface and made a
volcanic crater in the ground
A pal! ol deadly gas hangs over
the valley when the fires reach lo
the surface. At night flames like
the geysers shoot into the air. Last
spring there was renewed force in
the conflagration, and homes and
a schoolhOuse in the cours'e of the
fire were menaced. Miners from sev
eral companies in the vicinity blam
ed around a crater, said to havt
been 50-feet in diameter and seeth
ing with flames to the depth of the
vein, in order to stop it.
So. for a tunc, temporary relief
was -obtained in that area. But in
the wider fire area around, i the
smoldering went on, and the people
of the valley, who had already spent
millions of dollars in an effort to
extinguish it permanently, could on
ly await the next outbreak.
In the country near Carbondal*,
Pa . a fire has burned so long that
the people who live there have be
come accustomed to it. At night,
persons who have lived there .as
sert, it is not unusual to *eet the
twisted flames that are eating their
way through the earth shoot high
into the air Like volcanoes and the
ignis fatuus, it has become a na
tural wonder. .. . . f
