Orange trees viii in some instances,

The jurors were worn out and half sick
and glad to get their freedom again.
Jurors Camp and Burns are the two

Their fellow jurors say they would not
examine the books, raised checks, etc.
The jury stood for some time eight for
conviction and four for acquttal, but
most of the reports which have been cir
culated were untrue. Even if Bridges
had been cleared on this charge there
were six other indictments against him
for forgery, larceny after trust, and cheat

1t was in July, 1896, that Bridges was
first indicted. He was tried in July, 1897

Austel of this city on promssory notes
aggregating $2S5OOO, secured by lien up
on the Austell building, the latest addi-

These things seem to be greatly increas-
ing of late, and without any apparent
cause. We see more men who lack vigor
than ever before. We meet more women
who seem broken down than in the past.
Surely there must be a cause for all this
and there is.
These troubles can arise from but one
cause, namely: disordered kidneys or
urinary organs. Indeed, it is now admit
ted that the region of the lower body is
the prime source of most physical ills.
When the kidneys become diseased the
blood becomes poisoned and all the
troubles such as sleeplessness, lack of
appetite nervelessness, restlessness, tired
and respondent feelings follow in its
wake
The truth is, people are not well; but
they should be. and they can be if they
would only take the means of recovery
that are near at hand. In writing upon
this subject, DR.. K. A. Gum, dean and
professor of surgery of the United States
Medical College, New York, says:
I'm a large class of ailments where the
blood is in an unhealthy state-where
there is no evidence of organic mischief
but where the general health is depleted
the face sallow, the urine colored, constl-
tuting the bilious condition-the advan-
tages gained from the use of Warner 8

1t is undoubtedly true that Americans,
as a people, are in a more or less serious
condition, and that there are complaints
which have become national diseases.
But it is also true that modern science
has provided an adequate remedy which
