Experiments Astound Pat rons of Bridgeport
 Drug Store

Some interesting experiences took place at the Jennie Hamilton's Phar- macy recently. At this store spec ialists are explaining to the public the purposes of the tonic, "Tona Vita" now being introduced in Bridgeport
 The strain of living among modern conditions has produced nervous de- bility in big percentage of the popu- 1ation in the larger cities of today. This fact has ben recognized by the medical profession, both. here and abroad and some time ago tonic was introduced in Europe to combat the disease. The medicine proved highly successful and company has been formed to put a similar preparation on the American market.
 The experiments were made to show the immediate effect of '"Tona Vita" as the medicine is called upon cases of nervous debility, as explained by the specialists,are as follows: A con- bition, irregular appetite, poor diges- tiOny nervousness, mental depression and poor memory. One of the chief characteristics of a sufferer from ner- vous debility is a gloomy, mental at titude and extreme timidity. The 1s constantly under the impression thar some calamity is about to occur.
 From among the callers the spec ialists selected twenty or so and after questioning them closely as to their symptoms gave them the correct mount of the medicine to be taken at CT these people were questioned as to a single dose. About five minutes lat the effect of the medicine. and all stated that relief had been almost inn mediate.
 Some of the replies were remark able. One elderly woman said: '1 have been dead on my feet for ten years past. This is the first drop of medicine have taken that has help ed me at all. I felt like a different person two minutes after taking N.
 A man about 30 said: "1 am bank clerk and my health has been poor for two years. have not known what is the matter with me exactly, but have been little good to myself or anyone else. as I just dragged my self around. don't know whether this medicine will make me feel like my old self for good, but this one dose has helped me more than all the other stuff I have taken. It seemed to take right hold and put new life in me-
 The specialists will be at Jennte Hamilton's Pharmacy, from 9 a. m. 10 6p..m.. daily to meet the; public. :.
 The sale of this new medicine IS now the biggest thing of the kind ever seen in Bridgeport. and eacn succeeding day marks an increase or interest. ""Tona Vita" is proving a complete revelation to the thousands of half-sick, rundown. listless men and women in the city who did not know exactly what was the matter with them. It would be worth any body's time to visit the Jennie Ham ,iltor,'s Pharmacy the exclusive agents for Rridgeport, and inspect the large number of testimonials from those who have been benefited by the new tonic and who have undoubted faith in it as a remedy of unusual value.

Talk of the removal of the shops OF
the road from Fl. Madison became
pertinent to several local men after
reading the article on the big keokuk
dam which appeared in the Republic
can-Register on Monday. This i'm
mense dam will raise the water leyel

Guided in the territory covered is the

| ShoptowD, a short distance down the
river from the city proper. 1t is said
that the engineering plans call for
the inundation of Shoptown with three
feet of water and this will necessitate
! the building of dixie of that height
around the railroad property or the
abandonment of the site for shop pur.
poses. The Santa Fe road will un.
doubtedly be recompensed for the
property loss caused by the big dam
project and this leaves them free to
move their shops to another point on
the system. 1t is said that the water
problem at Fort Madison contem-
plates the construction of trestle or
FILL" works for the present trackage
of the road in that vicinity
Under these circumstances there is
little reason to believe that the road
will endeavor to retain the present
site or attempt any dike-work or ex-
tensive building elevation. With their
property loss recompensed nothing in
the way of expense save new site
stands between Galesburg or some
other city, located advantageously
from geographical standpoint, from
securing the Santa Fee shops.
Another linking that the Santa re
contemplated move of the kind was
contained in the recent talk of Super
intendent Aver of the Santa Fe road
before Galesburg members. Coupled
with the Keokuk dam project and the
loss of FIT. Madison as a suitable
point on account of the water. con
siderable color is lent to what the
Santa Fe official had to say.
Galesburg would fill the bill geo.
graphically as it has often been said
that the present division is too long
and a run from Chicago to Galesburg
of 1S3 miles would make very neat
stretch of track in modern railroad
ing to constitute division for both
passenger and freight crews.

the money necessary to secure a
good site for the shops" said a promi-
