BLMEFUl INDIGESTION.
THE DISORDERS IT CAUSES AND
THE POIsONs IT INsTILs IN THE
BLOOD.

If we only knew how dangerous, insid-
ious and ruthless a disease indigestion Is.
we would not wait as we do before en-
deavoring to cure It,
The longer we wait. the more dangerous
1t is likely to become.
So the sooner we take Shaker Digestive
Cordial the better it will be, and the bet
ter we will be.
Indigestion is dangerous because it
creates poisons in the stomach which are
absorbed by the blood and by it carried
to all parts of the body.
Could anything be worse than this?
These poisons would not he formed If
the stomach could digest its food. When
it can't. Shaker Digestive Cordial will
help it to do so.
Nothing will help the stomach so well
as Shaker Digestive Cordial. nothing else
cure Indigestion so quickly, or so posi-
lively.
The reason is that it purifies the
stomach and the blood, and makes your
food strengthen instead of poison you.
1t is not a medicine. but an aid to d-
gestion. a pleasant cordial for weak
stomachs.
Sold by druggists. Ten cents for trial
bottle.

Shakers, 80 Reade Street. New York.

ton. The motors have the nignes!
grade of insulation.
Power is furnished from a central
station. 1t is communicated to the
electric express by the third rail sys-
TEN, which is a system OF conducting
the current to moving motors or trains.
consisting of an additional rail either
of iron, steel or copper. laid in the
track at about the same height as the
main rail, on which rolls or slides the
collector.
The compressed air brakes are used,
and are applied by means of levers ana
air cylinders. The engineers valve is
of the standard Westinghouse type. 1t
has an additional connection. so that
when the handle of the brake valve is
placed in the emergency position for
sudden stop the air is admitted to
small pipe leading to the main circuit
breaker. This opens the circuit-breaker
and cuts off the electric current, so that
the movement of one handle not only
applies the brake but shuts off the cur
rent. so as to give the highest possible
degree of safety. In addition. there
motors. so that they can be made to
stop the locomotive train by backward
pull. The automatic air pump is driv-
en- by electricity. The electric motor
which drives is direct connected and
without gears.
The marVels to be accomplished by
this great giant of the electric age are
not in theory. On the experimental
track in the yards of its builders along
which it has been run at such terrific
and unheard-of speed has been at
tanned as to permit the announcement
TO be made as conservative that the
average speed of 120 miles an hour can
be maintained for almost any distance.
This is like falling through space,
and with the landscape seeming to be
in mad rush to get somewhere behlnd
the engine Fences will appear like
short lines. and telegraph poles placed
at the ordinary distance apart like the
posts of a fence. All grades Will be
overcome without effort, and the entire
road. whether over mountains, through
valleys or across bridges. viii be gone
over at the same rate of speed.

ELECTRICAL LoconoTlvE.
Marvellous spssd Made BY the Baldwin.
Westinghouse Electrical Engine.

One hundred and twenty miles an
hour is the speed made by an electrical
locomotive which has just been built
Inv the Baldwin locomotive works and
the Westinghouse Electrical Working
company together.
Travelling at that rate of speed the
engine would go from New York to
San Francisco in two days and half.
Had not this wonderful speed actually
been attained and did not the electric
express locomotive stand ready in the
ward of it's builders to duplicate Inc
performance the statement might De
received with distrust.
So confident are it's constructors tnat
they have produced flyer OF hereto-
fore unattainable speed that they nave
arranged to manufacture others on the
plans of this one, which is designed 70
revolutionize travel.
In appearance the new eiectrlc woh-
der gives hardly a suggestion ol i'9
speed. 1t is very unlike the ordinary
locomotive There is little mechanism
in sight. the motors being incased IN
steel Jackets. 1t has very much the
apnearance of an ordinary baggage
car. except that its lines are trlhe
more regular, it's fittings UNNECESSARILY
more handsome. with an electric mead
light on it's front and pilot to protect
the locomotive from objects on the
track, To increase stiffness the frame
is covered with one-half men steer
,Iate on TOP its entire length. Cast
iron plates are bolted to the floor. the
interior of the cab is open and avail
able for observation seats, as 1t IS eX-
pected many people will enjoy the SEN
sation of riding in this lightning eX-
nrcss. The frame is made of ten-inch
rolled steel channels, surrounded ny d
one-half inch rolled steel plate cover
ing the entire. floor. This plate IS an
important detail, as it gives great
strength to resist blows in collision and
is intended to protect the lives OF pas
sengers in cases Of wrecks ana derall-
ments. as the heavy steam locomotive
protects the ordinary train.
