Here is diamond, hers is piece Of char
coal. Both carbon; yet between them stands
the mightiest of magicians-Nature. The
food on your table, and your own body; ell
ementally the same; yet between the two
stands the digestion. the arbiter OF growth or
decline, life or death.
We cannot make a diamond; we cannot
make flesh, blood and bone. No. But by
means Of the Shaker Digestive Cordial we can
enable the stomach to digest food which
would otherwise ferment and poison the sys-
tenn. In all forms of dyspepsia and incipient
consumption. with weakness. loss Of flesh, thin

successful remedy. Taken with food it re-

The obscene Literature Case.

The Boston Watch and Ward society,
whose agent Mr.. Davies recently worked
up the obscene literature case, Is a New
England society, and sends its agents to
investigate all reports concerning vendors
of the vile stuff. Mr.. A dam leighton
WAS the man who first reported the prob
able violation of the law on railroads en-
tering Portland, and he communicated
directly with the Watch and Ward So
ciety. Had the same Information been
given directly to Marshal Tricky, the
result would have been the same. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Davis found
that the law had been violated on the
Boston and Maine and Maine Central
trains, and he succeeded without Difficult
ty in locating his msn, but had Mr..
Leighton given his information to Mar
shall Trickey or Sheriff Plummer, the
men would have been just as promptly
Investigated. While the violaters of the
law were Portland residents, in all
cases the sale was made beyond the city
limits. Mr.. Leighton communicated di-
rectly with society that has made a
record for itself in connection with the
suppression of obscene literature, and Mr..
Davies had the cordial support of Mar
shall Trickey and his deputies.
