good health unless his bowels move
each day. When this is not attended
to, disorders of the stomach arise,
biliousness, headache dyspepsia and
piles soon follow. If you wish to
avoid these ailments keep your
bowels regular by taking Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets
when required. They are so easy to
take and mild and gentle in effect.

ings and many disasters The history
contained would make volumes if writ
ten out, but the dry. matter of-fact re-
port deals only with facts and makes no

cords. The book was made from the re-
ports of the lS3 officers, clerks and mes
sengers who comprise the entire force of
men whose duty it is to look after the
safety of all kinds of vessels used, either
on the ocean for the passenger and mail
