WHOLESOME ADVICE
For People Whose StOmachs Are
Weak and Digestion Poor.

Dr. Harlandson, whose opinion in diseases
is worthy of attention, says when a man or
woman comes to me complaining of indiges-
ton, loss of appetite, sour stomach, belch-
ing, sour watery-risings, headaches, sleep
lessness, lack of ambition and general run
down nervous condition 1 advise them to
take after each meal one or two of StGarts
Dyspepsia Tablets. allowing the tablet to
dissolve in the mouth, and thus mingle with
the food eaten. The result is that the food
is speedily digested before it has time to
sour and ferment. These tablets will digest
food anyway whether the stomach wants to
or not, because they contain harmless diges-
tive principles, vegetable essences, pepsin
and Golden Seal which supply just what the
weak stomach lacks.
l. have advised the tablets with great sue
cess, both in curing Indigestion and to build
up the tissues increase flesh in thin, nervous
patients, whose real trouble was dyspepsia;
and soon as the stomach was put to
rights they did not know what sickness was

Story of Fortune Made in Northern

ing Man.

Among the articles of incorporation filed
that Of the Chicago & Wabash Valley Rail-
road Company of Jasper county Behind the
incorporation there is a story known to but
few people except those living in the coun-
ties adjoining Illinois.
B. ]. Giffod, who is the prime mover in
the railroad scheme, some years ago bought
up all the swamp land around Kankakee
ILL.,, for song, and by energy and skill
drained it until he had brought it up to a
high state of productiveness. This Melted
him an immense sum which he, about five
years ago. invested in waste land around
the huckleberry marshes of Jasper county.
Here he again set to work to drain the
country and established a colony of work.

ford's rancho"
With every 100 acres of land he reclaimed
he set up a complete farm, thoroughly
equipped, and rented it to tenants at a
rominal figure. For over four years he has
constantly kept three big dredges at work,
and now has the ground nearly drained and
in condition for crops. In establishing his
colony he found that railroad facilities were
needed to ship the products to the city mar
kets, and with his usual energy set to work
to construct his own railroad. The line does
not connect at terminals with any other
railroads, but starts in the northern end of
the swamps of Jasper county on the line
of Porter county and crosses the l., /. & l.
road few miles below. Continuing south
ward it crosses the c. & 1. c. railroad and
then strikes off southwestward to nearly the
southern boundary Of Jasper county. In
this manner the entire tract will be tapped
and drained for railroad purposes from both
ends to a connecting point in the center

figure not to exceed 5000 a mile. The road
