nerves of the stomach. liver and bowels,
cause them to act naturally. Thus the system
is readily cleansed Of the impurities which
cause the trouble and the nourishing and
soothing effect of Nervine is allowed to do
its wonderful work of restoration without
hindrance from the complication.
About ten months ago sprained my
back. This ran into sciatic trouble from
which have suffered more or less ever since.
This was complicated by chronic Indigestion.

in his Water Power of Maine estimates
the discharge of water from this river
at 57,720, 100000 feet per year. The Allie
cash river falls from Chamberlain lake
to the mouth about 30S feet or an aver
age of four feet per mile. There are 127
square miles of lake surface available
for reservoirs which would hold about
10000, 100000 cubic feet of water. This
storage is ample to supply the entire
fall of the river and gives a uniform
flow of water for the whole year.
1t might not be necessary to build
more than three dams on the main
river, as they would afford valuable
water powers in addition to their value
for storage.
The river at Al1agash Falls runs
through narrow gorge from so to 100
feet wide with almost perpendicular
ledge sides about ~ feet high at the
head of the falls and As feet high at the
foot. The total fall is 33 feet in 200
feet. A dam could be built at the head
feet long on solid ledge. This would in
crease the available head to As feet.
About the falls the river is quite rapid
and then almost dead water for three
miles. 1t is quite wide, can be flowed
several feet and would make a secure
storage for many millions of logs. A
canal could be cut through the ledge for
a distance of about 500 feet, or the
water could be conveyed in penstocks
to the lower basin. or mills could be
located near the head of the falls and
the logs taken from the pond above.
The volume of water which passes
these falls curing the year is $780,
304, 900 cubic feet, not including the
rainfall above the outlet of Chamber
lain lake, which if added would make
over $4,000, 100000 cubic feet.
Without Chamberlain lake this VOL
ume of water would give with As feet
head, 1920 horse power for 313 days of
"a hours each during the year.
According to Commissioner Rings
report there is little doubt but that
the Allagash falls when fully developed
will f,Irnish the best water mower m
the whole county of Aroostook.
There are IT'S square miles of water
shed below Allagash falls. Above ALA
cash falls there are $4,000 acres, COM
prising S6la townships of the best
spruce tracts in. this State. A very low
estimate of the spruce would be $500
per acre, or 2,ooo,Oo0,OOO feet. In adj
dition to the spruce there are large
quantities of cedar and pine which it
would take many years to exhaust.
