BILE proof of superior American railway
"The annual report of the Grand Trunk
for 1896 made a showing for surplus In
track returns for the first time in its
history. The result came about through
the efforts of the new American mana
ger. and is high proof of his ability. Ever
since the first building of the road until
Mr.. Hays. took charge Of the general polt-
cy of the road was entirely dictated from
London, and the successive presidents
all, by the way, titled members OF
the British nobility-gave sryssslittle
scope for Independent action on the part
of the off cers In Canada.
"The mistake of attempting to man
age in England railway system operat-
ing in Canada or the United States final
~ became apparent to the English share
holders, and the present presidents, Sir
Charles Wilson had sense enough to give
General Manager Hays a free hand.
Mr.. Hays introduced many changes, both
in the method of management and in
the personnel of employees. On this lat
te, score he has been very severely criti-
cissd by the Canadian press, and an
effort was even made to obtain interior
ence of the Dominion government to
put a stop to what was declared to be
the wholesale importation of Americans
to take ths places Of Canadian employees.
The fact that the road under his man
agement is for the first time able to
show a neat surplus speaks for itself. :"

THREE GOOD MEALS.
Daily Evidence That Puri-
tana Cured Him.

Ha A MANS case is really des-
w perate when his neigh
ENA bors are daily expecting him
H%M to die, when his physicians
eNMIEW have given him up, and when
H HW his system revolts at the
III simplest sort of nourish-
U ment. Yet this was the con-
xr-E1 dition Of Mr.. Charles e.
Phelps, who is a life long
resident of Sterling. Mass. having
been born there So years ago.
For the past II years Mr.. Phelps has
been tax collector and constable, and is
also sexton and the proprietor Of a
livery stable. He is a prominent Odd
Fellow, and his acquaintance extends
widely into Clinton, Lancaster, Leom-
inster, Boylston and Worcester.
Mr.. Phelps was dragged down to the
trouble. He was fighting for his life
without much hope for his poor pain
racked body. He was fighting alone
against starvation in the midst of
plenty, against constant loss of weight
and Increasing weakness. against
dreadful nausea, against pressure on
his chest, against belching Of wind,
sourness of the stomach and terrible
pain.
He had all but lost the fight, when
Puritana saved him. Mr. Phelps Is en-
thusiastic. His friends and neighbors
marvel at his wonderful recovery, and
another link is added to the long chain
of evidence in favor of Puritana. His
remarkable letter is as follows:
The Puritana Compound Co.,
Dear Sir-For ten years I have had
a very bad stomach trouble. One year
ago 1 had hemorrhage of the stom-
ach which left me in a still worse con-
dition. My system got entirely run
down so that could eat scarcely any,
thing. A small piece Of bread would
cause severe pains across my chest and
In my bowels, and would have to go
to bed and call doctor.
My condition kept on going from bad
to worse, and last summer was given
up to die. My weight ran down from
$40 pounds to 1928. After eating, fire.
quently I would vomit everything up.
I had employed doctors, but still re-
tanned no permanent results. Last
summer my attention was called to
Puritana, and as drowning man"
grasps at a straw, SO commenced the
use of Puritana.
The results in my case are marvel
Gus. Instead of being in my grave, as
many predicted would be before this
time, 1 am attending to my active bust
ness pursuits. and sit down to three
good meals of victuals a day, enjoy
eating them. and afterwards expert
ence no pains, attacks of indigestion,
vomiting. belching Of wind, sourness
of the stomach, or anything Of the
kind Puritana I consider the most
wonderful of medicines and am recon-
mending 1t to many of my friends.
