made by two carriers who were also re-

partment and all mail for the business
section of the city given to one man. An
auxiliary carrier has also been allowed

leave the office, but under the new sys-
tenn the auxiliary carrier will leave the
postoffce on his first trip at o'clock,

later than o'clock. More deliveries per

Of Silas, Ala, one of the largest lumber
companies of the south, in talking with
a representative of the Frankville Med
icine company incorporated, says: u was
all down and out with indigestion and
stomach trouble for two years. and was
getting worse every day; what l ate did
not agree with me, and 1 was very ner-
vcus and easily excited. l had to be very,
very particular about what l ate and
half of the time 1 could not retain my
meals, as this awful trouble seemed to
get worse on me, particularly after eating
my supper. I tried all kinds of medicine
that 1 saw advertised, and consulted spe-
cialists several different times, but none
Of them did me any good at all, ana
was about to give up hope, for the awful
stuffy feeling would cut off my breath,
and many times at night I would have to
get up and walk to get relief.
my heart seemed that it would stop
working on me several times, and at
times l was so nervous until it looked
like 1 would positively go crazy, l had
got to where l considered my case hope
less, until l came to Silas, Ala, and
there my attention was called to Fer
raline by my friend, John l.. Mcpherson.
who Is one of the largest turpentine and
timber operators in this part of the coun-
try.
"Mr Mcpherson is great believer in
Ferraline. and he told me to buy bottle
of this wonderful compound and IL l
was not pleased with the results that ne
would pay for the bottle himself.
This gave me courage, and much TO
my surprise, when l had taken several
doses could feel that l was being BEN
efiited, and before l had used all of the
second bottle l was a different person
and went about my work with energy and
vigor that I hadn't had for two years
previous to that date.
Words cannot express what I think of
the curative powers of Ferraline, and
what it has done for me, and I wish TO
state to everyone that has any kind of
stomach trouble that / feel and know
that Ferraline will restore their health.
II looked you up said Mr. Gavin Will
