A CONTEMPORARY that is usually well
Informed states that during the past
year no less than three thousand miles Of
railroad was put down in this country,
and processes to believe that as many as
four thousand will be built this year.
1t has been roundly asserted again and
again, since the crash of 1873, that we
had too many railroads in this country,
and that the investment of so much
capital in these enterprises was one of
the chief causes Of our hard times. 1t
is curious to observe that the beginning
of better times is characterized by greater
activity in railroad building than almost
any other branch of business, and this
is to some extent emphasized by the fact
that the mills that manufacture railroad
iron are as a rule more crowded with Or
ders ahead than any other class of manu-
facturers. As railroad building must
necessarily put a great deal Of money

date those residing along their lines, it is

is rheumatism. Even at the outset, the or
dinary remedies are frequently powerless
to cope with it. This is more particularly
the case when tendency to it is inherited.
1t should be combatted before it becomes
chronic. When the first twinges are felt,
recourse should be had to Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters, depurent which expels from
the blood those irritating principles which,
by contact, cause Inflammation and pain in
the muscles and joints. Poisonous medi-
cines which are usually administered for
this disease, but which, ina slight overdose,
may terminate it BY destroying life itself,
should be avoided, and this safe and more
effective medicine used instead. Those dis,
orders of the bowels, stomach and livel
which frequently accompany rheumatic
and gouty ailments are invariably removed
by this excellent botanic corrective.
