"I have taken Scott's
Emulsion for six weeks
and have found it a won-
derful remedy. Before I
took the Emulsion Ihad no
appetite; was weak; had
lost nearly fifty pounds of
flesh, and now I eat well
and am gaining every day.
I find Scott's Emulsion to
be very easily digested and
a good food for all weak
people." FLORENCE
ELEEIKER, No. 1 Myrtle
Avenue, Bridgeton, N. J.
This is only one of thousand of
cases Where
Scott's
Emulsion
has given an appetite. It's so
easily digested that it doesn't tax
the digestive organs and they rest;
yet the body is wonderfully nour-
ished and built up. The digestion
is unproved—then ordinary food
is sufficient.
Crowing boys and girls, who steed
so much food to keep theist Well
mid strong, and also growing,
sboild be given a bottle of Scores

much good.

Cold, Wet Weather Starts the rain
But the Trouble ig In the
Blood,
There wee an increase both in pas-
sengers train mileage and in number
of passengers oar.ied. In groes earn-
ings there was an increase at $180,098,
but this yeasmore than offset by an
increase of $355,470 in operating ex-
penees. Twenty-nine of the eighty-
seven roads had deficits on the year's
operations,
There was some improvement in the
matter of railway oasualities. The total
number of persons employed on Can-
adian railways was 100,789, of whom
224 were kilted, and 1,793 injured. The
total number ofpersona killed, em-
ployeee and publio, was 449, or 149 less
than in the preceding year, The injur-
ed totalled 2,347.

The trouble ie coated in the blood and

trouble --they can't resole the blood.

A little less mare for bonds and gbld,.
A little more seat for days of old,

ket.—Probably the bad weather and the
present exceptionally bad condition of
the roads, were in the main, responsible
for another very light run of cattle at
this market to -day. There are those in
the cattle trade, however, who say that
another reason Is that the number of
cattle in the,eoantry is smaller than at
this season for many years past. Owing
to the high price of feed and other reas-
ons ,the farmers, it is said, have in many
arses got rid of their stook, and in others
ars not carrying as much live stook as in
former years. At all events it is freely
stated by those who should know that
the Battle aro not in the country, and
therefore the present eueoession of light
runs.
The run was 49 loads, with 820 head
of cattle,. 200 sheep and Iambs, 850 hogs'
and 124 calves. -
