BANEFUL INDIGESTION.
THE DISORDERS 1T CAUSES AND THE
POISON 1T INsTIIs IN THE BLOOD.

: If we only new how dangerous, insid1ous
and ruthles disease indigestion is, we
would not wait as we do before endeavoriug
to cure it.
The longer we wait, the more dangerou us i
is likely to become.
So the sooner we take Shaker Digestive
Cordial the better it will be, and the better
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 be formed if the
stomach could digest its food. When it
can't Shaker Digestive Cordial will help ii
to do SO.
Nothing will help the stomach so well as
Shaker Digestive Cordial, nothing else cure
Indigestion so quickly, or SO positively.
The reason is that 1T purifies the stomach
and the blood, and makes your food
strengthen instead of poison you.
1t is not medicine, but an aid to diges-
ton. a pleasant cordial for weak stomachs.

Lewiston. December 2l.-Only two
Portland men who were injured in the
accident on the Grand Trunk this morn
ing are ut the Central Maine hospital,
John A. Williams and Winfield Trefethen.
Mr.. Williams it is feared is more
seriously injured than at first supposed
and the physicians are not ready to say
to just what extent he may be hurt. 1t
is thought her is Injured internally. He
seems to have much pain about the
abdomen.
Mr.. Trefethsn is getting along we'll
and 1t is believed his injuries may not be
SO serious as first thought. His injuries
were lacerated hand, bruised scalp and
chest hurt. 1t is in the latter injury that
his danger lies. At a late hour tonight
the attending physician reports the man

AFTER THE WRECK.

The little group of the injured did not
have long.to wait In the cold for Maine
Central freight train soon hove in sight
going towards Denville Junction. When
the engineer saw the trouble on the
neighboring line, he stopped his train
and the passengers were taken aboard. in
the meantime, Engineer Weber had run
his engine down to Danville Junction
and news of the wreck had been sent to
Lewiston and Portland. The "Scoot"
train on the Lewiston branch OF the
Grand Trunk was run down to the
jun ction and took the passengers the
rest Of the way. At Lewiston, doctors
were Oh hand and SO were hacks and
other conveyances, all the more seriously
injured were at once taken to the Central
Maine General hospital where their
wounds were dressed. With the exception
of Messrs. Trefethen and Williams they
were all able to leave for their homes on
the two O'Clock train. which arrives here
at 3.15.
When the news of the accident was re-
ceived in Portland 1t created great excite
ment the first report being that twelve
or fourteen people were killed but later
reports gave the true facts. A wrecking
train was at once set out. 1t had MOTH
ing to do to clear the track, as the train
had gone we'll out of the way of traffic
and when the broken rail was replaced,
the track was all right, but it was an ali
day and night job getting the wrecked
passenger and smoking cars up the bank
and onto tho iron. When the PRESS re-
porters left, heavy planks had heen laid
under the passenger car and great
hawsers and chains, anchored to nearby
trees, were being used in an effort to lift
it up the bank, the engine of the wreck
ing train furnishing the power. This
news of the accident brought many
people from the surrounding towns to
the place. Like all calamities this had
it's humorous sign. Mr.. Harry Jordan
of New Gloucester had started out to find
a market for several dozen eggs.
"Jordan said eggs were high" said a
by-standar. 81 guess he thinks they re
higher now.
