IS not only a distressing complaint, Of
L itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system Ell
feebled, is the parent Of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, Of Brockway
Centre, Mich
oliver complaint and indigestion
made my life a burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered. untold agony, was
reduced almost to q skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that / took seemed to do
any permanent good until | commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla T could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength I'M
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, / found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life,o

the body by pairing, is a new surgical
operation which has recently been sue
cessfully performed in London by Drs.

of chloroform, and four and a quarter
pounds of adipose tissue was removed
from the mans body and the skin
stitched up. More than q week has
elapsed since the operation, and NJ.
Hiroguelle feels quite well, and says
he only suffered from headache, the eff

The transition from long, lingering and pain
full sickness to robust health marks an epoch
in the life of the individual. Such a remarka,
BILE event is treasured in the memory and the
agency whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that
so much is heard in praise of Electric Bitters.
So many feel they owe their restoration to
health, to the use Of the Great Alternative and
Tonic. IF you are troubled with any disease
of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach. of long or short
standing you will surely find relief by use of
Electric Bitters. Sold at SOC. and ST. per bot

What Hot Springs Needs.

The time was when favorable loca.
ton built cities. In these latter days
men and railroads build cities. With
few exceptions Of the old largccitics of
the world are locatedncar large body Of
water offordlng water communication
with other portions of the world,
but within the last fifty years cities
have sprung up here and there all over
our country without any apparent adj
vantages of location. They are monu-
ments to the nerve and pluck of men
and the results of railroad building.
Hot Sprinssh has men of pluck and nerve
let us now go after railroads. We
must have people. Railroads bring
people, and people bring money
and invest 1t. We have one
railroad, but only that whits
our appetite for more. We hope to get
the b. s NJ. by next spring. But We
should not confidently fold our hands
and wait. Action counts. There are 9TH
or railroads we should so after. The
Sioux City and Northwestern has a
line projected from Sioux City ia
Rapid City. Why not interest that
road in the Springs There Is NO doubt
but we can yet 1t if we go at 1t in the
right manner. This read crosses the
Cheyenne near the mouth of Rapid
Creek. From there to Hot Springs is
a good route. It has already been
surveyed by the Milwaukee Railway
company. 1t is on a direct route
from the Springs to Pierre and te
Chamberlain. 1t will be a direct line
for the B. & NJ. to get to Pierre there
to connect with the Pierre and Aber
deem branch Of the Great Northern
All these suggestions the STAR throw!
out as worthy the consideration Of
Hot Springs people. The STAR be-
leives that here is a piece Of road that
will some time in future he, -hak;at
and when built will be one e1 .Ss nr spsal
ne to the Springs, with, sctionl
that could and will in tSs;s1b ,. ~ asss future
be made there with.
