Every day strengthens the belief Of emf.
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty five years ago this theory was used
as a basis for the formula of Browns Iron
Bitters. The many remarkabl cures effected
by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.

The Western Maryland Railroad is pre-.
pairing for another change in its general de.
partment of repairs. 1t is now proposed to
locate large and well equipped repair shop
at Hagerstown. The decision to plant these
shops at that particular point has been caused
by several practical and economic reasons.
The probabilities are that the preliminary
arrangements for the building of the shops
will be completed this week
1t is stated that the company contemplates
the erection Of brick buildings to cost $40,-
900, the plant to be finished this year. The
company has asked nothing from Hagers-
town, it is said, except that reasonable
price only be asked for the site, which will
comprise ample strips of land along the main
tracks of the road in the west end Of the city.
The removal of the shops there docs not
mean that that the shops at Union Bridge
will be abandoned entirely. However since
the business of the western section of the
road has become 80 large and important, the
company sees the necessity of having the
shops located at Hagerstown, as it is too
expensive to haul disabled rolling stock to
Union Bridge The building of the new
Washington and Franklin line from Hagers
town to Altenwald is said to be another
reason why the shops are to be located in
Hagcrstown. This new cutoff will add to
the business of the shops Baltimore Amer
