THE GREAT REMEDY
FOE ALL
DISEASES OF THE BLADDER
and KIDNEYS.

This Remedy has stood the test Of time, has
been weighed in the scales of public opinion,
md to-day has an army of men, women and
children, who over their own signatures bear
testimony to its curative properties. Some
have been cured of Diabetes, some Of Bright's
Disease, some of Inflammation of the Bladde&
some of Catarrh OK the Bladder, some of Incon'
;:.ienCa of the Urine, some of Leucorrh1a, or
Whites, some of pains in the Back and Loins,
some of diseases of the Prostate Gland.
For. all Diseases arising
from a diseased state of the
Bladder and Kidneys, this
Remedy stands without a
Rival.
Without q rival in the number of cures
effected; without q rival in the purity of its
composition; without a rival in number OF
bottles sold. The annual sale of Smiths Ex.
tract of May Flower exceeds the sales of all
other Kidney Remedies combined.
DIR. ELI IVES, says: "That in many aggra>
waited cases, when Buchu had failed to produce
any benefit, May Flower has effected a speedy
oare."
DR.. ]. II. BIRD, says: al have found May
Flower to be O remedy for all Kidney COM
ylaints, far superior to Buchu or Juniper
DIR. H. F. MARTIN, says: MAY Flower acts
more promptly in all diseases of the Bladder
and Kidneys than any remedy which has come
under my notice"
DIR. BENZ. H. LONG. says: 81 have found
May Flower exceeding beneficial in my'treat-
ment of females"
DIR. VINO. D. HUYVETTER, says: without
doubt May Flower is destined to work a revo-
luton in the treatment of diseases peculiar to
the urinary organs"
DR.. KING, in compiling his dispensatory,
has paid a merited tribute to this remedy. Se>

First Glass in Every Respect
b. Lake Maxinkuckee promises to become much
more famous resort, now that there is to be a
rst-class railroad by which the lake is reached.
George Harrington, of the Vandalia, has already
contracted for the erection of a cottage beside
this attractive lake and several other men of
his stamp contemplate so doing. Already num-
her of people from Chicago and other cities have
built club houses and summer residences there
Certainly it is destined to become very fash
iOnable watering place.
This pleasure resort will be reached by the
Terre Haute, LOganspOrG and South Bend Wanda
liza extension, which Will be opened as far as Lake
MaXinkuckee on Aug. l, and which Is of the
smoothest and best tracks in the State A citi-

railroad matters, who last week made trip over
the t. Fl. d l.. division of the Vandalia road,
press that he greatly surprised at the i'm
proyement of the property. He had not been
over the road for seven years. Then it was n
complete wreck-uneafe to ride over-but since
Mr.. McKeen purchased the property he had
practically rebuilt. 1t, cutting down grades,
strengthening curves. laying heavy steel
rails, putting tirst-class equipment, and is
rapidly bringing it up 10 rs high standard of
excellence as the Pennsylvania railroad, which
lie thong ut was the best managed railroad i'll the

tiuest in the State and he believed in the near
future the Tcrre Haute & Logansport railroad
will pay good dividends as the Terre Haute q

The Denver & Rio Grande has only been in

east of the Mississippi river seeking to make
arrangements with it for shipping to the Pacific
coast. The fact that it is a narrow gauge and
bulk has to be broken at Denver and at Ogden
does not operate as a bar to this through bust

already includes numerous roads and to which
the illinois Central and the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha lines have just been adj
mitted, will all hereafter ship by Denver and the
narrow gauge to Ogden, whence goods will be
forwarded to the Pacific coast by the Central

never found vent until the Chicago, Burlington
