full discussion and amendment was finally
adopted This report had been looked
forward to with interest for some time,
and the members were not disappointed
in the work of Messrs. William Lawler,
M. w. Murphy and Capt. Mike Lawler
The changes recommended and adopted
are calculated to place the Irish-American
Society in the front rank, as they en-
brace all the popular features of the most
progressive and successful social and be-
nevolent organizations. Therefore sick
benefits will be provided for sick and
needy members, and standing Relief
Committee has been created tor the
proper carrying out of this purpose.
1t was decided that The dues should be
collected monthly, beginning with Sep
TENDER |. The new constitution and by
laws we're ordered printed, and will be
distributed in the near future. When
these are issued they will disabuse the
minds of some who have been laboring
under a misapprehension as to the aims
and purposes of this society.
There are number of members who
have returned neither tickets nor money
for the recent excursion, which they are
urged to do at the next meeting The
matter of giving an entertainment for the
members and their friends was warmly
advocated. The date and place will be
determined on at one of next months
meetings.
In our next issue we will endeavor to
give a synopsis of the principal laws
governing this organization, that the
general public may better understand the
good work it is endeavoring to perform.

THE KIDNEY COMPLEXION.

The pale, SallOw, sunken-cheeked,
distressed-looking people you so often
meet are afflicted with Kidney Com
pleXion."
Their kidneys are turning to par
snip color. So is their complexion.
They may also have Indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, brain trouble, nerv-
GUS exhaustion and sometimes the
heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kid
nys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney
disease does not find out what the
trouble is until it is almost too late,
because the first symptoms are so like
mild sickness that they do not think
they need a medicine or a doctor I'M
til they find themselves sick in bed.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root will build
I'D and strengthen their weak and dis
eased kidneys, purify their diseased,
kidney-poisoned blood, clear their
complexion and soon they will enjoy
better health.

lar, or you may first prove for your
self the wonderful virtues Of this
