STOMACH TROUBLES.
Does More Good Than $500 Spent
for Medicine and Doctor bills.

There is nothing that so utterly dis
courages a man as a disordered stom-
ach. He cannot possibly comprehend
that a few doses of the right medicine
will put him on the high road to a COM
plete recovery. Mr.. Samuel Bayer of
Folsom. Ia, says: After doctorng for
about twelve years and spending near
ly $500 for medicine and doctors fees, l
purchased for my wife a box of Cham
berlain's stomach and Liver Tablets,
which did her so much good that she
continued TO use them and they have
done her more good than all the medi-
cine l bought before" These Tablets
improve the appetite, strengthen the
digestion and regulate the bowels. In
creased strength and vigor follows and
the patient is soon as well as ever.

BRITISH SHIP kAMBIRA SAILS
DRAWING 25 FEET.

The Deepest Draft Sailing Ship Yet
TO sail from Snvannnh-PiIOt Craig
Takes the Big ship to Sea-rOwed
by Tugs VIM. +. McCnuIey and
Cynthin-TO Sen on One Tide
The departure of the British ship
Kambira yesterday. drawing twenty
five feet of water, was a record-break
ing incident in shipping circles, as she
is the deepest draft sailing vessel yet
to depart from Savannah. She went to
sea on one tide, which is another un-
usual feature.
The Kambira has been in port for
some time loading a solid cargo of yell
low pine lumber for Santos. Brazil.
She was a. the Georgia Lumber Com
pany's docks. foot of Bull street, I'M
til few days ago. when she was shift
ed down to the Atlantic Coast Line
wharves to finish loading her cargo.
AS soon as she finished she went to
sea without delay
Capt. John Craig the veteran pilot
who has been taking vessels in and out
of Savannah harbor for the past fifty
years, took the Kambira to sea The
ship was in tow of the tugs VIM. F.
McCauley, Capt. John Brown, and the
Cynthia, Capt. Thomas Laird The
fact that no time was lost accounts
for the trip to sea without a wait at
the blight, which is the usual place to
take vessels bound out that draw over
twenty-three feet. The Kambira did
not clear before going below. She was
anchored outside, and her captain re-
turned to the city to clear her AS
soon as this is done he will return to
his vessel and proceed on her voyage
to Santos. She is a vessel of 1000 tons
registry and is the largest sailing ship
to visit this port in recent years.
