more aud Ohio X u Road Company will in =
augurste the sale of local Round Trip
tickets at all ts Offices east Of the Ohio River.
1bese tickets will be sold to any station

count averaging abou, teu per cent Of the
regular rate. and they will be valid for pas
sage for thirty days including Jay OF sale.
They will tie sold for all trains, every day

PRODUCTION will bring about an increase in
the volume Of local travsl that will, even
t1slly, more than compensa1s the Company

We have no doubt this volunta y acton

to us in the shape of neat presentation
book of about five hundred pages, being
made up of numerous editions calculated
for the latitudes of many lands. score or
more of nationalities are addressed in their

the healing of the nations" Ask your drug
