favor of the defendant who, upon q
decision against him, had taken the
to the st. Louis Court of Appeals.

hands of Constable johnson. Craig
claimed that the goods to be seized
were exempt and forbid Johnson SELL
ing them. RagsdaIe furnished John
son a bond and told him to proceed
with the sale, which he did and Craig
sued him and got a judgment; then
johnson sued Ragsdale on the indem-
nlfying bond and, as above stated, the
Appellate Court reversed the lower
courts decision that the bond was
valid and could be collected. Edmon-
ston & Cullen represented the defend
ant and o. Hit and F. R. Jesse the

to urinate. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cure of the most distress

When your stomach begins to trou-
Bile you, it needs help. The help it
need, is to digest your food, and,
until it gets it, you won't have any
peace. Stomach trouble IL very dis
tressing, very obstinate, very dan
gerous. Many of the most dangerous
diseases begin with simple indigestion.
The a is that Indigestion (not-
digestion not-nourIshment) aueakens
the system and allows disease germs
to attack it. The antidote is Shaker
Digestive Cordial, strengthening ,nour-
ishing, curative. 1t cures indigestion
and enc strength and health. 1t
does this by strengthening the stom-
ach, by helping it to digest your food.
1t nourishes you. Shaker Digestive
Cordial is made of pure herbs,

and will certainly cure all genuine
stomach trouble. Sold by druggists,
