Block Above Van Nets Nervous Indigestion The action of diges- tion is controlled by nerves leading to the stomach. When they are -weak, the stomach is de- prived of its energy. It has no power to do its work. If you want per- manent relief, you must restore this energy. Dr. Miles' Nervine restores nervous energy, and gives the organs power to per- form their functions. •Tor many years I waa an acute sufferer from nervous indigestion; at times I w&s bo despondent life eevxned almost a burden. I tried all Idnds of remedies and various physicians with little or no relief, until one nirht laist summer I saw Dr. Miles' Nervine ana Jleart Cure advertised. I resolved to make one more trial which I did In the purchase of on« bottle of Nervln* and one of Heart Cure. In a few days I began to feel better, which encour- aged me- bo much that I continued th« medicine until J had taken more than a doz*>ji bottles. I am very much Im- proved In c-«»ry way; in body, mlnq and spirits since. I make a eped&l ?o!nt to recommend the medicine, ana feel a sincere pleasure In knowing that several persons have been bene- fited throutrh mv recommendations. A. S. MELTdN. Asbville. N. C.

The manager of the Santa Clara line has already signified his willingness to meet the men more than half way in their demands. William Jennings Bryan, at the clos ing conference in connection with the recent Chicago Industrial exhibit, ex pressed the opinion that trades unions have done more for society than any other force In this country. In part "he said: The union* hare made some mistakes, but tbey hsve accomplished more good. When we ron sidpi- that through trades onions wages have been increased, hours Khortened and comfort afforded the working-men in greater measure. I think we bare a right to sir the benefits resulting from these union* cannot be orerentlmated. The Australian ballot syntem. for one thing. Is lhnrHy dne In thi* country to the agitation of the tra<ie« unions.
