THE Importance OF THE STOMACH.
Upon Its Condition Depends
Happiness or Misery.

Perhaps one of the most frequent
complaints of the stomach is constipa-
ton of the bowels, or continuous cos
tiveness.
When your food rests SO solidly
on your stomach that nature re-
fuses to remove it, and usually resort
to some common physic which, while
affordfng you some relief, acts so sud
denly on the parts affected as to shock
and weaken them.
THE BOWELS, like a bally horse,
to work properly must be coaxed,
and gradually urged to perform their
functions.
The soothing action of that great
Kidney and Liver medicine, DR..

During the discussion over the site
for the south approach to the bridge,
the trolley companies almost sank out
of sight. Now that the location is
definitely fixed they will doubtless
come to the front and keep things in
teresting until the franchise is finally
granted.
The freeholders have a great task
before them, but their deliberations
have had very good results thus far
and the trolley matter will be straight
ened out in time. First of all, we
want the bridge completed.
