man physician, and is acknowledged
to he one of the most fortunate discov-
cries in medicine. 1t quickly cures
coughs, colds and all lung troubles of
the severest nature, removing, as it
does, the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an exper-
mental medicine, but has stood the
test of years, giving satisfaction in
every case. which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two mill
ION bottles sold annually. Boschee's
German Syrup was introduced in the
United States in 1868, and is now sold
in every town and village in the civil
lied world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price IS cents.

THE KNlCKERBOcKER LIMITED.
Its Success Phenomenal-WiII Try to
Make Train Permanent.

The wonderful success of the Knicker-
booker Limited, the through train be.
tween Portland, Bar Harbor and New
York, has surprised railroad officials
throughout New England, very few of
them having had much faith in it with
the exception of those on this end of the
line, who knew the need of such a train.
and about the amount of business it
would probably do.
Ever since it was put on the last of
June it has done fine business in both
directions, but of course the greatest
amount of travel has been from the other
end up to the present time, because of
the great stream of tourists pouring into
the State. The travel to New York has
been about the regular business the trains
would have during the winter, it is stated
by some officials.
Sunday night, the Limited broke it's
record completely. by pulling out of the
loaded. The train ordinarily is made up
or five cars, namely: The mail COACH
passenger coach, regular baggage coach,
and one Pullman through from Bar Har-
Dor. and another from this city. Sunday
nlght, the train was made up of eight
heavy cars, for besides the mail. baggage
and regular passenger coaches, there were
three Pullmans out of this city and two
from Bar Harbor.
In order to accommodate the great ad-
vance order for the train from this city
to New York, an extra Pullman will be
run on the train from this city every
niSHt uutll september l.. ana or course
longer if business demands it. Every eff
fort is being made by the local board Of
trade and business men in this city and
New York to have the train continued
throughout the year, and they believe
that they will succeed.
1t was said. today, by a well-known
business man, that the Boston & Maine
and Maine Central were willing to con-
tinue the train, the only, objection COM
ing from the New York. New Haven &

having shorter haul on passengers
and were not making so much money as

with all that cfty's Inconvenience of
transfers, waits, etc. The haul is short

and that Is why they do not make SO

crying need for the train will force them
