about as sensible as prescribing nerve
tonics, alcoholic compounds, coca mix

Neither does it do to put the nerves
to sleep with narcotics. When you
feel WORKOUT, broken down, faded, and
feel the effects of brain tire as well as
nerve weakness, sleep1essness and ia

Repairs Being Made.
Fortunately the government has taken a
fresh grip on this enterprise. and extensive
repairs are being made. A contract was
made with Pearsons & Son of London for
the repair of the road. This firm is the
largest contracting firm in the world. This
is the first railroad contract ever under
taken, however. The firm is well known in
Mexico for it's port contract at Vera Cruz,
where So, 900 were expended and for it's
completion of the great drainage canal in
the Valley of Mexico. This is said to be
the greatest piece of engineering next to
the Suez canal: 1t is thirty miles long. and
goes out of the valley through a long tun-
mel under a mountain. 1t was designed to

cost between twenty and thirty millions of
dollars, but the government has never
given out the exact figures. Under the
contract with the government the con-
tractors were to do the work necessary in
the repair of this railroad across the 18TH
mus and the government was to pay the
bills. Adverse critics say that the firm is
either trying to learn railroad construction
by experiment or else is attempting to see
how much money can be spent. The ex-

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
SANTA LUCRECIA, Isthmus of Tehuan-
tepec. Mexico,
February 26, 1903.
1t IS generally admitted in Mexico that
American railway enterprise has been
largely instrumental in making successful
the rule of Diaz. Not that the railroads
have taken any hand in the politics of tn
country. but they have opened up to out
side influences immense territory not in
touch with modern civilization. The rapid
ity with which new centers of commerce
have formed along the railroads has been
surprising. Equally so has been the man
ner in which towns of two or more CEN
turtles of stagnation have adapted them
selves to new conditions and assumed met
ropolitan airs at the advent of railroad.
OF the seventy or more railroads in Mexico
three or four are English and the rest are
American, with the exception of three
which have been bought or constructed in
the line of well-defined policy of the gov
