A Showing Which Does Not Compare Fa-
vOrably with That of the Corresponding
Months Last Year.
The Burlington Company is having hard
time to make both ends meet. Its statement
of net earnings for the month of May. which
came to light recently. showed decrease
of $803OOO and for the first Ave months OF
1883 the loss compared with the correspond
ing period last year reaches the astounding
total OF $4.l94.172. Never in the history OF
Western railroads has such disastrous
record been made by big railway corpora
ton In so short time. Less than year
ago the Burlington Company was reported
to be the strongest corporation of its kind In
the country. 1t paid the highest rate of divi-
dends and its securities commanded larger
prices than any similar paper on the New
York Stock Exchange. Since the beginning
OF 1883 its dividend rate has been reduced
from q to per cent. and even the per
cent. has not been earned by many hundred
thousand dollars. The causes of the Bur-
lington's unfortunate condition are short
crops last year. reduced rates. and the great
engineers strike which cost the company
enormously and is not entirely settled yet.

When anything stands test Of fifty
years among discriminating people, II is
pretty good evidence that there Is merit
somewhere. Few, II any, medicines have
met with such continued success and pop
ularity as has marked the progress Of
BRANDRETH's PILLS, which, after trial
of over fifty years, are conceded to be the
safest and most effectual blood purifier,
tonic, and Alternative ever introduced to the
public.
That this is the result of merit, and
that BRANDRETH's PILLS perform all
that is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the fact that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those
who have used them the longest.
BRANDRETH's PILLS are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar coated.

A storm at sea means the inevitable sea-sick-

the strongest stomach Splicing the main
brace" as the imbibation OF glass is iocularly
termed by sailors is a poor substitute for the

which no commercial traveller, tourist or invalid
should be without in crossing the briny," or
making tedious land journey. No unmedi-
Gated stimulant OF commerce is comparable for
efficacy to the great invigorant. Emigrants to
the West pronounce 1t reliable preventive OF
lnalarial infection, as well as other complaints
to which hardship impure water and miasma-
tainted vapors give rise. 1t renders brackish
water drinkable and harmless and is a fine REM
