The Bath Enterprise complains of the
unjust distribution of the taxes in that
city and we have no doubt cases similar to
those which it cites might be found in
every city in Maine.
OF course the equalization of taxes is a
problem that has never been satisfactorial-
ly solved and probably it never will be.
Fortunately there are not many places
where certain persons have been unduly
taxed while others had their taxes reduc-
ed to satisfy the grudges of a single indi-
vidual.

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a com
munity of simple, honest, God-fearing men
and women, have prepared the Shakers
Digestive Cordial for many years, and it is
always the same, simple, honest, curative
medicine that has helped to make the
Shakers the healthy, Iong-lived people that
they are. The Shakers never have indiges-
ton. This is partly owing to their simple
mode of life, partly to the wonderful prop
critics of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges-
ton is caused by the stomach glands not
supplying enough digestive juice. Shaker
Digestive Cordial supplies what's wanting.
Shaker Digestive Cordial nvigorates the
stomach and all its glands so that after
awhile they don't need help. As evidence of
the honesty of Shakers Digestive Cordial, the
formula is printed on every bottle. Sold by
druggists, price 10 cents to $1.0O per bottle.

Nervous

People often wonder why their nerves are
SO weak; why they get tired so easily;
why they start at every slight but
sudden sound; why they do not sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and
Paipitation Of the Heart.
The explanation is simple. 1t is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead of the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and
do not cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives
natural sleep, perfect digestion, self
control, vigorous health, and is the
true remedy for all nervous trouble

All the consult. ants engage in turn i'll the examination. Then, if the cass demands it, they make a new examination all together, point ing out to one another the symptoms Of disease and the special or remarkable features either in the patient or the dis ease. Then ono of them, the highest in rank, says to the patient, Sir, we per- ceiYe very clearly what is tho matter with you, and you ought to have full confidence in us and be glad that there are So many of us here and such doctors enough Tor l1ing-and to believe that the youngest of us is competent to pre- scribe and carry on your treatment and bring it to q good result. Then he in te1rogates the patient about the ciroa1n. stances of his attack, Sir, do not be displeased or take it il, but when did your illness begin1 following this with many other questions. the answers te which are recorded as indications fur nished by tho patient
 When all the questions called for by the case have been asked. tho con sultants retire to another room, where they will be alone. for in all eonsulta- tions the masters dispute with one an, other in order the better to discuss the truth, and sometimes they come to a pass in the heat of discussion whiah would cause strangers witnessing the1r proceeding to suppose there were diseord and strife among them This Is some. times the case. -" Fourteenth Century Doctors, a by ii E.
