unfailing cure for chronic ulcers;
Just as long as the circulation is al

ton the place will be kept open from
the constant discharge of impurities

blood will change this conditi on aud
the flesh tissues will be nourished

there are about $4,000 idle cars in the
country. or only 11a per cent of the

1000 cars are standing on side tracks

to order annually about 100000 cars.
During the past three years they have
