it with good effect. It builds them
up. 1t is not as pleasant to the taste
as some other Bittcrs, as it is not q

POLISHING THE WRONG ESD.-NIaay

NoTming Herald, Baltimore, Md,
states: Major B. S. White, of this
city, describes his miraculous cure
as follows: 81 have been 4 partially
dead man for ten years. Doctors
attributed my suffcrings to the en-
largement OF certain glands. The
quantity of medicine took without
relief would be sufficient to set up

Of the 9th has the following in its

''IIoldcrs of Shenandoah Valley
Railroad Company general mortgages,
of which there are $4,000 900 out
standing ut per cent. are iubilant
over the discovery that traffic con-
tract has recently been made with
the Pennsylvania so favorable to their
interests that, while the latter corpo-
ration does not exactly guarantee the
bonds mentioned, it consents to pro-
visions which are said TO virtually
effect the same results. 1t is claimed
that the bonds are rendered gilt
edged by the Pennsylvania agree
ing to give the Shenandoah Valley
ali the business it can control for
points which can be reached by the
latter road, with fair limitations as to
business destined for points East or
West which can much more easily be
reached more directly from the Penn
sylvania system by some other route,
such as Kentucky business, for in
stance, which Of course the Pennsyl-
vania can more readily reach by Pitts
burg. The Shenandoah Valley makes
a similar promise to send bushes to
the Pennsylvania. 1t is understood
that the completion of the Washing
ton and Western in the Shenandoah
Valley interest is recognized By the
Pennsylvania as allowable, although
it will take away some business given
to the Cumberland Valley at Hagers-
town. This the Pennsylvania prob
ably hopes to catch again by means
of the Baltimore and Potomac ut
Alexandria. The Pennsylvania is
said further to have agreed to lay by
20 per cent. OF the gross receipts of
its system from business furnished by
the Shenandoah Valley till October i.
1885; Is per cent. for five years sue
cceding that date, and 10 per cent.
for the five years following the latter
period, for the purchase of the prin-
cipaI of the Shenandoah Valleys
mortgage at the rate of 5000, ,OC0
year. OF course the interest will
have to be paid before these reGeInp-
tions can be carried out, and in case
the Shenandoah Valleys net earnings
are not sufficient for this purpose,
this will be done from the fund in
tended for redeening the principal.
A considerable term of years must
elapse before foreclosure can be made
under this arrangement. and it is said
that this term ofyears is long enough
to make it extremely unlikely, even
in the event of severe commercial
depression. that the Shenandoah Val
lcy's net earnings should fall short
of its fixed charges long enough to
make foreclosure even remotely pos
! sible under tie agreement"
