GET WELL AND STAY WELL.
GET RID oFiWHAT MAKES you SICK
AND STAY RID OFT.

1t is SO simple-to be well that we wonder
why there are so many sick people.
Come to think about it, it must be because
they don't know what's made them sick.
If they knew that, they could prevent it,,
and when they were sick. in some cases cure
themselves. But, SO long as we don't take
more care ofsour health, we shall always be
more OF less sick.
The simple rules of health are, Keep
clean, take execrise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate indiges-
ton. Cure it with Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. A stomach full of undigested, fer
mented, putrid food is the unhealthiest
thing you can think of.
Half our diseases and troubles come from
the poisons of undigested food More than
half of them could be cured with Shaker
Digestive Cordial
More than half, because often when we
think we are sick we are only weak. and

enemy, the breeze being such as to throw
the vessels off a level keel, meant that the
one thus placed might hull its opponent be-
low the natural water line; and this enabled
such vessel to take the wind from the enc

is, one admitting the use of the whole
broadside, fore and aft, while receiving the
fire of comparatively few guns at an angle.
Now, the vessel which is outmaneuvered

a courteous invitation. They were not
petitioners or remonstrants. He had a
good deal of doubt as to the legal status
of the various parties in the matter and
did not exactly see the extent to which
the jurisdiction of the commissioners
went. 1t might be possible that all the
parties would getstogether and reach a
satisfactory conclusion. This road would

developments.
Counsel Larrabee for the Yarmouth
road followed in similar vein. His
road did not desire to cross any bridges
till it got to them. When it got to this
one it was prepared to cheerfully comply
with the law as they found it. They
were present today simply out OF cour-

with situation just like this one which
