NEW ROuTE FOR WABASH.

The most astounding bit of Wabash
news since the announcement that
Joseph Ramsey, Jr.. had decided to
withhold from George j. Gould the
control of the little Kanawha syndi-
cate and the route to the sea via West
Virginia and Maryland was made pub.
lie last week, when it became known
that the Wabash had new route to
Underwater through Pennsylvania and
New Jersey and that the route of Ram
sey has been passed up entirely.
George J. Gould and the men asso-
ciated with him in the Wabash rail-
road venlur are not satisfied with
their present line into Pittsburg. They
have planned another road through the
center of the State, and after two years
OF patient, quiet work on surveys and
the occupation of strategic points, de-
tails of the projected line from Pitts
burg through Westmoreland, Indiana,
Clearfeld. Center, Union and Snyder
and other counties have been revealed.
The project contemplates the building
of a through trunk line from Pitts
burg to New York, with connections
through allied railroad interests with
Buffalo and the Lakes and New Eng
land.

To enrich the blood and increase the
red blood corpuscles, DR.. Pierce years ago
found a vegetable compound, which he
called DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discoy-
cry, that would quickly cure the bad symp-
toms by increasing the red blood corpus
cles and thereby feeding the nerves on rich
blood. This medical Discovery also acts
upon the digestion and assimilation of food.
SO that the blood gets its proper elements
from the products of digestion Feed the
lungs, stomach and heart on rich red blood
and you have surely healthy body which
will throw off the germs of disease which
lurk everywhere. Get as near natures

from botanical extracts and which does not
contain alcohol is the safest DIR. Pierce's
