Not Symptoms, sst tl.s Disease.


1t would seem to be a truth appreciabie by
all, and especially by professors Of the healing
art, that to REMOVE the disease, not to alleviate
its symptoms, should be the chief aim Of med
ication. Yet in how many instances do we
see this truth admitted in theory, ignored in
practice. The reason that Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is successful in so many cases,
with which remedies previously tried were in.
adequate TO cope, is attributable to the fact
that it Is a medicine which reaches and re-
moves the causes of the various maIadies to
which it is adapted. Indigestion, fever and
ague, liver complaint, gout, rheumatism, disor-
der Of the bowels, urinary affections and other
maladies not palliated merely, but rooted out
by it. 1t goes to the fountain head. Il is
really not nominally. a radical remedy, and
it endows the system with an amount Of vigor
which is its best protection against disease.

Moline, and until September 1st, 1885, to
finish it in this city. This is a valuable

the enterprise are practical Rock Island
men, with ears of ex perience. and backed
by sufficient capital to build it, and build
it well. The new transit line between

THE c., B. & Q. EMBANKMENT,
built under contract by the firm of e. p.
Reynolds & Co. was partly finished, and
the first month of spling will witness its
completion. 1t is an esrtben embaukment,
extending out in Sylvan water around the
c., r. l. Il P. round house, and was
constructed in order to give the Burling-
ton road better approach TO the city
than the trestle work which has been used
| for years, and the movement goes to
show that the company have large BUSH
ness interests here. Mr.. Reynolds took
the contract for $4,000. The work is
four thousand feet in length, and twenty
feet hight on the average. La its construc>
ton Mr.. Reynolds has used +125,0O0
yards of earth and 10000 yards of rock.
Cold weather came the first week in
| December and checked an undertaking
which otherwise would have been cons
| pleted by this time, and as 1t is, the bulk
of the work is done and three weeks of
favorable weather will suffice to finish
it. Mr.. Reynolds will then have it done
before the time contracted for. 1t was
great undertaking, but is only one OF the
many of equal and even greater impor,
lance which the distinguished firm of Z.
2, Reynolds Il Co. received the past year.
There is no more reliable or widely known
firm of railroad contractors in this country
than E. p Reynolds Il Co., and general
confidence in them could not have been
better displayed than ia the awarding of
the larger portion of the contract for the
work on the new c., B. Il N. road. Be-
sides these, the firm has contracts in
Missouri and other portions of the coun-
try. and the way they have handled every
undertaking has won them Just dlstinc-
tion in their Important branch of bust
ness.
