NEW LOCOMOTIVES.
Governor.

Ordered by The Ohio River Railroad.
The Ohio River Railroad com
pany has placed an order with the
Brooks Locomotive Works of SYRIA
cuse for two new locomotives for
freight use. They are to be de-
livered very soon and are to help
out the road in overcoming the
present glutted condition of its
freight service. Never in the his
tory of the road has there been any
thing approaching the heavy freight
business now being done. This is
partly explained by the long season
of suspended navigation on the
Ohio river and also by the wonder
full activity in the southwest oil
field, nearly every part of which is
tributary to the Ohio River roai.

A tired stomach is very much
like sprained ankle. If you suffer
from any of the symptoms of dys-
pepsia, your stomach is tired. 1t
needs a crutch. We must relieve it
of all work for time, or. until it is
restored to it's natural strength.
To do this successfully, we must use
a food which is already digested
outside of the body, and which will
aid the digestion of other foods that
may be taken with it. Such a pro
duct is the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial.
