Is your Life Worth a Dollar?

Perhaps that seems high price for i'll
considering how poor your blood is, and
how your whole system is FRUSTRATED, de-
bilitated, and enfeebled. People have been
heard to say, under such circumstances,
that they would not give the toss of cop
per for the choice between life and death.
But when it comes to actually drawing
near the grave, a man naturally draws
back, and says he does not want to die
Life isvery precious, and even to broken
down man it is worth saving.
One dollar will buy bottle of Broeca s
Iron Bitters. That one dollar may start
you on the road from misery to recovery.
A man must take very mean view of
| himself who is not willing to invest that
much in making one serious effort to
rescue himself from deadly debility, and
to step into the enjoyment Of solid health.
Broans's Iron Bitters vitalizes the blood,
tones the nerves, and rebuilds the system.
It's work is well known. Invest that dol
lar in a bottle.

1t is now projected to run railroad from
Charleston up Elk river-Main Elk
through Clay by the edge of Nicholas,
through Webster almost it's full length, to
twenty miles up Main Elk, from Webster
court house thence up Valley Fork to
ElkWater, down that stream through its
lonely valley to Beverley, or any other
point to catch the Grafton and Greenbrier
or Baltimore and Ohio roads. This would
connect the Chesapeake and Ohio with one
OF the finest undeyeloped regions in West
Virginia I; it would also connect the Ches-
apeake and Ohio with road which crosses
the Baltimore and Ohio and, in word,
would make West Virginia a homo
geneous state.
