When wear begins to exceed repair in
your body you are going to fall sick. The
signs of it are: loss of flesh, paleness, weak
ness, nervousness, etc. The repair need
ed is food. You think you eat enough,
and yet you feel that you wear out more
tissue, energy and nerve-force, than your
food makes for you. The difficulty is that
you do not digest enough. And this is SO
serious it is worth sitting down seriously
to think about. If you can't digest what
you eat, take few doses of Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial The effect of it will be
to increase your flesh and make you feel
stronger. You won't fall sick Proof
that it is in control of your repair appa-
ratus. It's easy enough to test this for
yourself. Take few bottles of Shake r
Digestive Cordial.

It has been decided by the Ocean county
board of freeholders to again accept bids
for the bridge over Crosswick's creek.
The contract was let to the Wrought Iron
Bridge Company, about fortnight ago,
with the understanding that the old abut-
ments were strong enough to hold the
new structure but the company objects
to putting heavy modern steel bridge on
abutments built many years ago for a
light wooden structure. The next bids
will be for both bridge and abutments.
