Lucien Rodd, of Whitehall. n. Y, being
by me duly sworn, deposes and says that
some years ago he suffered very greatly
with insomnia, nervous prostration and his
body was covered with sores, causing him
great pain and annoyance. That his head
was so covered with sores that he was
hardly able to comb or even brush his hair,
so great was the pain 1t occasioned.
That he consulted the local physicians
without successful result that he took
quantities of medicine with no benefit
whatever; that physicians told him his
disease was incurable and he had come to
the same conclusion himself and had made
up his mind to go to hospital and await
death.
That just about this time he learned
about Dr. Greenes Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, which he began to use. That
this remedy entirely relieved and cured him,
healed and dried up his sores, enabled him
to sleep soundly and comfortably, and re-
stored him to his ordinary vigor and vi
tality. in short. made a sound and well

melodrama, stage trickery and good many
others, the result of which is a production

I'm the Trainmnn,s Interest.

A Representative from Kansas has intro
duced bill in Congress providing for look
ing after the interests of the railway train
men. The bill provides for the creation
of a committee to inquire into the employ
ment and treatment of all employees en-
gagged in any manner in the running of
trains The real object of the bill is that
incompetent men shall not be employed
IN responsible positions, and that men
shall not be rendered incompetent by rea-
son of overwork or loss of sleep. The COM
mission shall be very diligent in its inves-
LEGATIONS as TO the facts OF men being re-
quired or permitted 10 do overwork or
double duty, TO work overtime with
inadequate time for rest and sleep. The
commission shall also ascertain the rate of
compensation of employees, and require that
they shall not be distressed or driven to
overwork through inadequate payment for
reasonable work. Eight hours shall be
deemed the reasonable basis of a days
work, and where the work must continue
night and day without ceasing, three shifts
OF men shall be employed instead of two.
