According to celebrated anatomist
there are upwards of 100000 little
glands in the human stomach. These
glands pour out the digestive juices
which dissolve or digest the food. Indi-
geston is want of juice, weakness of
glands, need of help to restore the health
OF these organs. The best and most nat
ural help is that given by Shaker Di-
gestve Cordial Natural. because it sup.
plies he materials needed by the glands
to prepare the digestive juices. Because
it strengthens and invigorates the glands
and the stomach, until they are able to
do their work alone. Shaker Digestive
Cordial cures indigestion certainly and
permanently. 1t does so by natural
means, and therein lies the secret Of its
wonderful and UNMARRIED success.
At druggists, price 10 cents to $1.00

They Tell Him It's About Time to Yield to
the Powera

Constantinople July 11.-Queen Vic
toria, Emperor William, Emperor Mi
cholas, President Faure and King Hum
bert have replied to the telegram re-
cefved by them from the sultan, and all
give advice similar to that sent by EN-
peror Francis Joseph.
Emperor William says in substance
that he regrets his inability to disasso-
ciate himself from the views held by
the other powers.
The porte has sent another circular to
the powers proposing that, in view of
the disturbed condition existing in
Crete, Turkey send reinforcements to
the island. To this the powers have al
so replied, endeavoring 10 dissuade the
porte from such a step.
This proposal on the part of the Turk
ish government is held to indicate that
the sultan does not intend to yield in
regard to the frontier question.

Overdose of Iaudauum

Overdose of Laudanum.
Trenton, N. j., July 11--Trenton had
three deaths within the last forty-eight
hours as a result of three different acct
dents. Two of the deaths were from
drowning and one was from an over
dose of laudanum. Frank Collins, aged
five, was found drowned in the Della
ware and Raritan canal yesterday af-
ternoon. He had been missing from
home since the day before and Is sup
posed to have fallen in the water An
drew Doothart, aged nine, was also
drowned in the Delaware and Raritan
canal. He was sitting on the bank
watching some boys swimming when he
slipped and sank to the bottom. 1t was
nearly an hour before his body was re-
covered.
The third death was that of Benia-
min Godshalk, aged fifty. Crodshalk
was a printer who worked nights and
on account of the heat was unable to
sleep. He took a dose of Iaudanum to
induce sleep and took too much. The
doctors labored with him for several
hours, but were unable to resuscitate
him.
