the world where dyspepsia is practical
ly unknown, and that is Shakers OF

of indigestion for more than a hundred
years, and that they understand it
pretty througly, is evidence IN the
foregoing fact. Their Digestion Cor

cases of indigestion hat we know ct.

Its Record for Twelve Months Ending
May 10, SOC.
Goldsboro has at present quite
a proficient fire department. 1t is

who may not know we will state
that the present fire wards are the
