Hearing of the Health-Lift, without any faith
and with very little interest, 1 began to exer-
cise on the Reactionary Litter. Its effect was
magical. 1t aroused every dormant organ and
muscle in my body, quickened my circulation,
Increased my appetite, and improved my whole
condition of mind as we'll as body. 1 improved
rapidly in strength, and, no longer in chronic
state of weakness, can walk better, further and
faster than for years now do my former
amount of business. Can and do walk from
twenty-five to thirty squares day with more
ease than could have walked two squares
three months ago, Altogether am physi-
cally regenerated woman. find the Health
Lift exercise equally useful with my patients
suffering from chronic diseases of liver and
stomach, in spinal curvatures and muscular aad
nervous debility, and esteem it a blessing that
cannot be overestimated in its usefulness-a
healer of the sick and q useful exercise and de.

could be learned.
The present week has been occupied by the

The Maine Central Railroad Company have
commenced the new year by issuing very
stringent orders to the conductors not to pass
any one, even an employe on the road, witho
a pass from the superintendent.
The absence of snow has been a fine thing
for railroad companies. 1t is said that it has
generally cost the Grand Trunk $4,000 day to
keep their track clear during December, while
other roads in this vicinity are equally as ex
pensive.
Collector Simmons in his lecture on " Re-
FORMS" which he will deliver in City Hall pext
Friday evening, discusses all kinds OF reform
church, labor, temperance, and political. The
lecture has proved very interesting to business
men. The tickets have been placed at the low
price of % cents, so the expense ought not to
deter no one from attending.
