London, Feb. 23.-The negotiations
for the purchase by the Canadian Pa
cif1c Railroad Company of fourteen
Beaver Line steamers from Elder
Dempster & Co. were satisfactorily

Catarrh of the
Stomach.

Catarfh Of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks of Indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrste mucin instead Of
the juices of natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach
