The Pleasures of Youth.
WHAT WE MISS.

Do you remember the little things that
gave US so much pleasure when we were
young? With what zest did we sit down
to the table after our play was over and
eat the mush and milk our mother put
before us, which tasted like the nectar
of the gods. But as we get older it
takes more to give us pleasure. Mush
and milk no longer tastes good to US,
aud our digestion may be impaired. We
are told we canot eat this or that because
it is bad for the stomach The fact is
that whatever our stomach Graves it
pretty nearly always digests. uWhat
is one mans meat is another mans
poison" . If there is something in the
way of meat, vegetables or fruit that
we long for, then our stomachs are
pretty sure to take care of that article
The reason is that the appearance of
the longed-for article will cause the
saliva to pour forth from the glands,
the juices from the stomach are in
creased, and as a consequence the
stomach does the rest Through the
constant dinging into our ears, that GER
tain thugs are indigestible, we lose a
great deal in the pleasures of the table
and our stomach is weakened by taking

muscles of our arms will become small
and weak if not used, The best advice
we can give to such person is to forget
what you are eating. Don't listen to
carpers or hea1th-food cranks. Tone up
the stomach with DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t is natures most
valuable and health giving agent-made
without the use of alcohol 1t contains
roots, herbs and barks, and is the con-

because it was given to the public by
DR.. R. v. Pierce, founder of the Inva-
lids Hotel aud Surgical Institute, at
Buffalo, N. Y, nearly forty years ago,
and has since been sold by druggists in
ever increasing quantities. Some medi-
cines, tonics or compounds, enjoy a
large sale for few years, then disappear
from the public attention, but Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
proved such reliable blood remedy and
tonic that it often enjoys the confidence
of several generations in family, and
its increased sales year by year coming
from the recommendations of those who
have tried it, prove its lasting merit, so

BIG WESTERN COMBINE.
Reported Plan for a Great Merger

Reported Plan for a Great Merger
of Railways.
Chicago, Dec. 29.-T. P. Shonts, pres
ident of the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa
Railroad prior to its absorption by the
Lake Shore, has been elected president
and general manager of the Glover Leaf
Road (Toledo, ST. Louis and WESTERN,
in place of Benjamin Norton, resigned.
The Daily News publishes the fol-
lowing:
THE formation of committee to re-
ceive deposits of Chicago and Alton
stocks and the selection of T. P. Shonts
for the presidency of the Glover Leaf,
are merely the initial steps toward the
consolidation of five Western railways.
A big system is in process of organiza-
ton. The Trunk line will consist of
the Kansas City Southern, the Chicago
and Alton, the Iowa Central, the Clover
Leaf and the Minneapolis and st.
Louis.
E. H. Hartman, John w. Gates and
Edward Hawley are the influential
forces in the scheme. Messrs. Gates
and Hawley, by the purchase of Gen.
Hubbards holdings, have come into
complete control of the Glover Leaf;
they also are prominent in the Kan
sas City Southern; they have a large
interest in the Alton, Iowa Central and
the Minneapolis and st. Louis, which
are virtually in the control of Harri-
man.
Messrs. Hartman, Gates and Haw-
ley, as we'll as John w. Mitchell, have
deposited their Alton holdings with
Kuhn, Leob & Co., the banking house,
which will receive all of these securi-
ties as the preliminary to further ne
gotiations.

DR. Pierce guarantees that no alcohol is

This remedy works in the natural way,
for it corrects the irregularities of the
stomach by promoting digestion and
assimilation. The blood is cleansed and
fed on proper nourishment, the nerves
get rich red blood, and in consequence
nervous troubles disappear, for they are
often due to improper nourishment
Neuralgia is the cry of the starved
nerves for food. Feed the nerves on
pure rich blood and nervous symptoms

it is not fed on that nourishment which
