Nervous Dyspepsia
And Neurasthenia
Weakness of the Nervous System
Often Dependent Upon Long
continued Indigestion.

Neurasthenia, also known as "ner-
vous exhaustion. nervous debility"
and nervous prostration," is dis
ease, which in these modern,
and more prevalent. 1t is a condition
in which there is more or less
marked and persistent loss of energy,
together with considerable irri-
liability.
Persons who suffer from this
trouble are easily excited and
irritated; cannot do as much work as
formerly. and in attempting any
mental effort, quickly become con-
fused, and are unable to concentrate
the attention. They also complain of
insomnia, nervous indigestion. de-
preston of spirits, and palpitation of
the heart.
There is a general muscular weak
ness; the person cannot walk very
far, and tires quickly on attempting
physical exertion. There is ringing
in the ears, blurring of eyesight;
headache and vertigo; specks float
restlessness The ability to sus-
tain prolonged intellectual effort is
interfered with. and the patient
imagines he is losing his memory.
Neurasthenics continually watch
for new symptoms, unconsciously
exaggerate the old ones. attaching
undue Importance to them. Cause
less fear is often suffered from; a
extreme pessimism; dark fore
bodings. and hysteria. Sleep is not
refreshing and the person feels much
more tired in the morning than at
night. Horrible dreams and night
mare are usually complained of.
But by far the most prominent
manifestation of Neurasthenia is
Nervous Dyspepsia. In nearly every
case this disturbance of the stomach
dominates the complaint Cause and
fro1 n
dyspepsia may be the result of
Neurasthenia, but oftener. indigestion
is the original cause of the nervous
condition The nerves are simply
not digest the food properly, and as
the nerves are dependent upon the
food which the blood absorbs from
the stomach for their sustenance. any
deprivation thereon IS sure to cause
nerve weakness.
The use of nerve tonics" in this
condition is a mistake; they merely
stimulate, but do not rebuild nerve
tissue. Completely digested food is
the only true nerve builder and
strengthened; and in the treatment
of nervous exhaustion. one should
first cure the nervous dyspepsia,
which is usually the origin OF
the trouble. by taking sTUARTs
one or two after each meal, or when
ever needed, and the long train of
nervous symptoms will be cured
along with the nervous dyspepsia
This celebrated rem edy is without
a peer in the treatment of nervous
INDIGESTION and in fact, indigestion
of any kind. They digest all the
food with great thoroughness, and
facilitate its absorption by the blood,
which carries it to the weakened,
diseased nerves, and builds them up,
so that every symptom of Nervous
Exhaustion is gotten rid Of

Trunk Pacific company. The auth
orized capital stock of the corporation
is $45, 100000.
The undertaking which surpasses in
magnitude and Importance any plan OF
railway construction hitherto conceiv-
ed, was projected to meet the pressing
British North America caused by i'm
migration and, IS before stated, to ia
cilitate world traffic.
The eastern terminus of the railway
will be at Moncton, N. B.. from which
point the seaport of Halifax will be
reached over the Intercolonial railway
and the western terminus be at Prince
Rupert, B. c., near the southern boun-
dairy of Alaska. Though Montreal is
Trunk and the eastern terminus of its
important trains. the new line will not
go through that city, but will cross
the ST. Lawrence river on new bridge
to be constructed five miles above
Quebec.
Charles NJ. Hayes was born in Rock
Island. I'LL, and is So years old. He
started railroad work S6 years ago as
a clerk in the passenger department of
the old Atlantic & Pacific road in St.
Louis. Then he was with the auditor
and general superintendent of the
same line, secretary to the general
manager of the Missouri Pacific, a
similar position with the wabash, and
in 1887 was appointed general man
ager of the same road. Three years
later he was elected vice president of
that system, and one year after he was
mace general manager of the Grand
Trunk Mr. Hayes is now second vice
president of the Grand Trunk and
president of the Grand Trunk Pacific.

HIGHER RATE ON LEMONS.
Railroads Give Notice of an Advance
of IS Cents.

Washington, Oct. 8.-A heavy and
general advance in the freight rates
on lemons has been made by trans
continental railroads Shippers OF
the American product are concerned
seriously by the advance which. &C
cording to the tariffs filed with the
Interstate Commerce commission,
will become effective on November
Is, next.
The tariffs were filed with the COM
mission by the transcontinental
freight bureau, which represents the
transcontinental lines and increases
the present rate Is cents a hundred
pounds.
Under the present freight arrange
ment, rates on lemons from Cal
ifornia points to eastern points are
Is cents a hundred pounds less than
the rates on oranges. grape fruit,
lines and other citrus fruits.
The present freight concession to
lemons was made by the trans
disposition on the part of the Pa
cific coast fruit growers to relinquish
the lemon market. They felt that, in
competition with lemons from
European and West Indian points.
they could not compete successfully
with the foreign growers at the
freight rates then prevailing.
While the tariffs now filed directly
affect the rates on lemons from Pa
cific coast points to North Dakota
South Dakota. and Minnesota. it is
the announced intention of the trans
continental carriers to make a similar
advance to all points east to which
freight rates on lemons are quoted
and filed with the commission.

time for traffic moving between Great
Britain and the Orient. The manage
ment of the road expects to be in a
position with it's mileage and low
grades to beat the American line at
least 80 hours in the movement of
freight between the two oceans. One
of the heaviest articles of shipment in
this world business is silk from China
to Europe. This traffic moves IN solid
train loads, takes a high rate, and If
it were all secured by one line would
be almost enough to sustain the road.
Under the ARRANGEMENT the Canadian
government will build one-half of the
Grand Trunk Pacific and the quasi
private corporation the other half. This
will combine a railroad constructed at
the expense of the government with

HoMEsEEKERs' RATE PROBLEM.
Western Traffic Men PerpIexed Over
Tariff Regulations.

Chicago. Oct. 8-The western rail-
roads are considering a difficulty which
seekers fares. One section of the tariff
circulars provides that tariffs naming
fares for excursions may state such
fares in such terms as lone first class
fare for the round trip lone first class
fare and one-third for the round trip
etc, giving specific references to the
tariff containing these first class fares.
This can readily be complied with,
but in connection with homeseekers'

NERVOUS
DYSPEPSIA
A Topeka Woman Tells How
the Tonic Treatment with DR..
Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her.

The processes of digestion are CON.
trolled by the blood and nerves. That
is why the tonic treatment, by which
the blood is built up, has cured so many
cases of stubborn stomach trouble.
Many people are suffering daily from
stomach trouble because they cling to
old-fashioned methods, eat predigested
foods and in other ways aggravate the
disorder they seek to cure.
There can be no real cure in stomach
trouble until the digestive organs are
toned up to do the work that nature in
tended of them. The only way that
this can be done is through the blood
which plays such an important part in
the processes of digestion.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are not only
q tonic for the stomach but build up the
general health. This is well shown in
the case of Mrs. Emma Copeland, of No.
1877 North Lake street, Topeka, Kans.
She says:
"After treating with q doctor for
several months and getting only tempo
rary relief from nervous dyspepsia,
decided to try DIR. Williams' Pink Pills.
When began using the pills was
greatly run down in health and was re-
duced in weight. There was always
distress after eating. There was pres
sure like weight on my stomach. At
times there would be sour risings and
also great deal of gas from my stom-
ach. had to be careful what ate, for
any greasy food would put me in perfect
misery. was so nervous that could
not get any sleep and often had to walk
the floor at night
81 had taken DIR. Williams Pink Pills
only short time when could see that
they were helping me. I continued
using them until cured and have had no
trouble with my stomach or nerves since.
I gained several pounds in weight.

splendid remedy and gladly recommend
them

Without Ceremony.

Salt Lake City. Utah, Oct S.-while
the completion of the Western Pacific
from Salt Lake City to San Francisco
is expected within a short time. as far
as laying the rails on the grade is con-
cerned, there perhaps will be little or no
demonstration made in celebration. E.
T. Jeffrey, president of the road, has
not expressed any desire to have the
driving of the last spike of the new
transcontinental line made the occasion
of any unusual observances. His only
expressed wish is that the road as rap
idly as completed should be thrown
open to traffic. The rails on the east
ern end of the Western Pacific have
been laid into Wfnnemucca, New. max
ing a continuous line for a distance of
395 miles west of Salt Lake now on the
