template the erection Of an immense ship

It is said that four or FIVE sites along the
North River front have been inspected. but
that elaborate precautions we're taken 20

that if the news of the scheme was pub
lished it would cause a big rise in the price
of available property.
The reason for selecting this port for the
erection of the plant. it Is declared, is that
for shipbunding on a big scale it offers
unlimited facilities for the transportation
of material. deep water. and a great and
ever available market for labor, for it is
intended TO build battleships and other
vessels Of the larger size and the works

1t is exceedingly difficult to get
a sufferer from any serious dis0r-
der to announce that fact in print.
No matter how pronounced his
cure may be. he does not care TO
herald the fact
But, sometimes the relief is so
great and the cure so welcome
that the most shrinking acknOwl-
edge their happiness broadcast.
Wen have a number Of these in
a few days.
We have given great satisfac-
tion with MasOn's Dyspepsia Tab

acknowledgment, right here.
Remember that We say the cure
is positive.
Not temporary relief, but posi-
tive, permanent cure.
1t is safe TO say that if the pub
lie was convinced of the truth of
that statement, we could not pre-
pare the tablets rapidly enough.
They have everything TO recon-
mend thew
4 the first place, they are absO-
lutely free from such dangerous
drugs as calomel, -lOes, and
opium.
In the second place, they are
prepared from the fORnulas of
four physicians, whose IcceSs in
the treatment Of dyspeL LSia was
phenomenal.
AS to convincing the public
that will all come i'm its OW good

The tablets will do that.

Experience has shown TO physicians
that the majority of diseases have their
origin IN the arrangement OF disease of
the stomach and other organs of diges-
ton and nutrition The stomach is the
receptacle in which food is received and
the laboratory in which It is prepared to
nourish the different parts of the body.
1t prepares brain nourishment in one
wa, nerve nourishment in another,
muscle nourishment in another When
the stomach is out of order" these
various forms Of nourishment are only
partly or imperfectly prepared, and
nerve, muscle, or brain, as the case
may be, is only partly fed and the result
is pain, which is Natures protest and
warning. The pain may be III the head
or in the heart, but you must reach 1t
through the stomach or YOU can't cure
it. That is the philosophy on which DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery IS
prepared. It has absolute control of
the stomach and digestive and nutritive
system. II cures diseases in head, heart,
liver, lungs and other organs by curing
the diseased condition Of the stomach
which prevents the proper nourishment
of the various organs and corrupts them
by its own diseased condition, in the
partial nourishment it provides. In like
manner Golden Medical Discovery"
purifes the blood, by purifying the
stomach and other blood-making organs.
