Again, in the furious gale of Christmas,
1894, 200 of these poor fellowe were lost
in the trawling fleets.
Prior to 1881 the lot. of these men was
truly deplorable,. particulerly among the
floating villages of the Dogger bank -
that great prolific shallow which lies
280 miles front the names, and per-
haps 75 miles off the Jutland coast. The
famous "Dawger," as the men call it,
is the most notalale fishing.ground of the
North Sea; and from its size and fectin-
aity is vastly preferred before the "Bot-
ney Gut," the "Silver Pits," or any other
of the North Sea grounds.
In those early, days the fishing smacks
ran out singly, carrying a little ice for
the preserving 'of them catch, and choos-
ing their own markets. Thus every
week or tie the men were at home, Grad-
ually small fleets began to be formed,
which remained on the banks, and smart
sailing cutters were employed to "run"
their takes.
When steam trawlers came into use
the fleets increased immensely in size,
end special mew fish.earriers were built,
capable of carrying thousands of empty
fish trunks and many tons of ice for
each journey, besides the forty or fifty
tons of coal for the double trip -
Five or six of these carriers are now
allotted to ecteh fleet and plough their
way back to market, often with. 2,500
boxes of prime fish in the hold, •each
trunk weighing perhaps eighty pounds.

The steam trawlem mostly carry

on, vary in size from thirty-five or fifty

A NEW IDEA.
Ton lo Treat ment for Ind igestion-New
Strength for the Stomach from
New, Beall:lob Blood.
The Tonic Treatment -that ht the
latest and only scientific cure for in-
digestion. All the leading doctors of
Europe and .Aerterica are using it
with sensational success. No more pur-
gatives, no more pepsin, no more pat-
ent foods, no more long diet lists say-
ing; "Thou shalt not eat this or that."
No more of all this --nothing, fact,
but plenty of new, pura rich red blood
to tone the liver aid give the stomach
strength for its work. This is the Tonic
Treatment for Indigestion.
The tonie treatment is based on the
new idea that drugs which digest the
food for the stomach really weaken its
powers through disuse. The digestive
organs can never do their work proper-
ly until they are strong enough to do it
for themselves. The only thing that
can give the stomach and the liver new
strength is good blood -and the only
thing that can actually make new blood.
