Our Locomotives the Best.
The ten locomotives recently sent to France
have been iound very satisfactory,and as this
number Is only the first shipment of an order
for fifty of them, it shows that foreign people

past fifty years, and that is Hostetter's Stom
ach Bitters, the standard medicine for stomach,
liver and bowel complaint*. Many people
who have experimented for years with unknown
