airs Of 4 Traveller of long experience,
and when the tiAe came for his return
he approached the railroad station
with none of the embarrassment he
had felt when he went to take the

until the last moment instead Of climb

pulled into the station. With a blaSe
air he let one or two ears slip past
him, and he swung himself aboard by
the rail Of the rear platform.
He threw open the door and passed
through the corridor of the sleeper.

were playing cards with a suit case
for table. Nest of them were coat

been removed in the heat of the game.
Jethro hurried on. He did not want a

they investigated the proofs produced

convinced. We positively know that
an eminent scientist devoted several
years of his life to hard study and
spent over ten thousand dollars ex-
perimenting before the afflicted were
permitted to try his great discovery,
which is now curing people all over
the country, after all other remedies
had failed If YOU bloat and belch
sour gases; if your food lays heavy on
the stomach; if you have any symp-
toms of indigestion, We honestly be-
lieve that one dose of Root Juice will
convince you of its wonderful merits.
Root Juice soothes and heals the nlu-
cous lining of the stomach. bowels and
bladder and al the same time heals
and strengthens the liver and kid
neys. 1t prevents fermentation Of food
in the stomach and bowels and stops
