RYDALE’S TONIC A REAL CURE FOR IMLAILiAI&ILA.. It has recently been discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system bv means of the blood. This fact ex plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Rydale’s Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease breeding mi crobes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all tx>isonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap point you.

J., be tween the Long Branch express and the Florida Special on the Pennsylvania railroad, one, the Rev. Mr. Keller, of Asbury Park. N. Ja probably will die. He sus tained concussion of the brain and in ternal injuries. The acc’dent was a peculiar one in railroad history. Eight Pullman cars made up the Florida traSn. Soon af ter it passed Elizabeth station the air brake pipe connecting the engine and first coach parted. That caused the automatic air brakes to be applied at once, the strain on the engine causing the coupling between the ten der and the first car to break and the engine started ahead, while the cars stopped within a short distance. The engineer at once applied the brakes to the locomotive, and started back to pick up his train. Just as the coupling was being made the Long Branch express, rumung at high speed, rounded the curve. The engineer threw on the air brakes, but the rear coach of the stalled train, which, fortunately was empty, was split in twain. All of the people were in the two forward cars of the Long Branch express. The fireman of the Long Branch train lost his life by jumping against a fence and reeling back beneath the train.
