Mr.. Switzer IL at all times Q very busy
man and close student of his profession, but
when approached on the subject herein con.
tanned he dropped everything and gave the
reporter his enthusiastic and unqualified en-
dorsement Of what he had been reported as
saying in regard to his recent return to good
health. Years ago he was severely injured
BY fall from n horse, sustaining hurt in
the right side in the region of the sciatic
nerve, leaving this portion of his anatomy
weak and susceptible to disease. When last
February's term Of circuit court came on he
found himself. from close application to his
business, sadly run down !; in fact he was
on the verge OF nervous prostration. He
was weak and nervous and in this condition

disabled him for further duties and he had
to be taken home by his friends. This set
tied his court duties for some time. Mr..

He still keeps the pills in the house and con.
tinues to use them at this time, and is EN-.
phatic in his claim that they are doing him
good continually. He expressed himself as
not being able TO say too much in praise Of
the pills.
If anything more were needed to fortify
the reliability Of 30 unimpeachable a tcsti
mony, the good words of his colleagues and
fellow citizens rs TO his reliability and con
servatism in stating facts, can readily b.
brought to bear.
For instance, L. Y. Sherman, who is sec
ond 70 none in the practice Of law in this sec

judge Of the McDonough County Court, q.
States and City Attorney, and is at present
the Republican nominee for Representative
