 Mexican Herald The Central has received word that a consign- ment of bridges, part of an order placed year ago in England, are en their way to Tampico. On the arrival of the bridges one of them will be placed at Garza Valdez, over the Pilon river. The trans Ter of the central bridges on the Monterey Tampico line from wood- en to steel structures is in keeping with the proposed inauguration of the fast freight service which the road contemplates as soon as the roadbed and bridges are strength ened sufficiently to bear the heavy weight of the engines that will be placed in service on that division lhe entire roadbed is to be re- ballasted, and heavier rails are to replace those now in use. Bridges and culverts will receive attention, and the former will be constructed of steel and the latter of masonary. lt Is stated that on the Paredon san Pedro extension, as soon as 'ialiis are put through, heavy en- glnes will be brought from the main line and used here to facili- iate the large business the road is doing,

Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic or
gans with the same surety as it cures
catarrh of the head. Peruna has be-
come renowned as a positive cure for
female ailments simply because the all
ments are mostly due to catarrh. Ca
tarrh is the cause of the trouble. Pc
runa cures the catarrh. The symp-
toms disappear.

People with good blood possess strong,
steady nerves and are best with good
appetites and digestion, and enjoy
sound, refreshing sleep. If we could
always maintain the purity Of the
blood then we might enjoy perpetual
health, but it becomes infected and
poisoned and most Of the ills that afflict
humanity and undermine the constitu-
ton are caused by an impoverished
or polluted condition of this vital fluid.
When the blood is diseased the skin
loses its healthy appearance, and the
complexion, its freshness and beauty
and becomes red and rough and full Of
pinples and splotches. Itching, scaly
eruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes
break out upon the body when the
blood is too poor or too thin and acid,
and is not supplying proper nourish-
inent to the system. Debility, poor
appetite, bad digestion, restless sleep
and nervousness more often come from
sluggish, impure blood than any other
cause. To build up the blood, restore
and nutritious again Is the only rationa
yet rid of skin troubles. There Is no II

that the seat Of the sensation Is prin-

Is clearer when they approach an OBJ

tactual sense. and the smallest thermiC
varia ton may be utilized by the mind
to reveal the presence Of objects. The
nature of the phenomena observed SO
far Is too obscure, probably, to admit
Of any scientific deductions Of great
value being made at present Even
DR.. Javel would not be surprised, per.

after all, capable Of being explained
