The people i'll Pennsylvania willingly
add their evidence to that which has al
ready been given i'll favor of Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids, the best remedy that has
ever been sold in this state for backache,
kidney and urinary disorders, sleepless-
ness ard nervousness. Our druggists re
port wonderful cures and state that Kid
ne-oids are daily increasing III the opin-
ion of our people Kidne-oids act di-
rectly upon the kidneys and nerves and
restore them to their natural condition.
Good kidneys make good blood, good
blood makes strong nerves, k1d-De-olds
make good Kidneys and strong nerves.
Mr.. John Beightol, I23 Du -Bois street,
Du Bois, Fa., says:-For years was
troubled with kidney disorders, and dur
ing this time l tried different kinds of kid
ney rernedies,but aeyer found anything
that gave me relief like Morrow's KID
ne-oids Before taking Kid-ne-oids |
suffered with a dull heavy pain in the
small of my back which would be FREE
quented by sharp shooting pain just over
the kidney extending up the spine to
the shoulders, also urinary disturbances
of an annoying nature Since taking
Kid-ne-oids they have relieved me OF
these troubles and am feeling better in
every respect. l will continue to take
Kid d-ne-oids." rlta tr.zsrE
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills but

Burrows Great Speech.

The strongest speech on the Quay
case the Senate has yet heard was de-
| livcted by Senator Burrows last Thurs
Day afternoon For three hours he
argued against waat he calls the revo-
lutionary doctrine propounded by those
who favor seating Colonel Quay.
The Michigan Senator astonished
many of his colleaHues by the profundity
Of his research He not only cited all
Che precedents heretofore used in the
case, bur he went further He quoted
the utterances of nearly all the Senators
Of recognized ability during the 1906
years during which similar cases have
been before the Senate. But that does
not represent the scope Of his address.
Mr. Burrows quoted from the discus
sions IN in the constitutional convention
which framed the fundamental law
and the writings Of the members of that
body were searched for light upon the
purpose Of the fathers when they fran
cd the provision under the authority of
which Governor Stone pretend5 10 ap-
point Colonel Quay to fill the vacancy
caused by the expiration OF his own
term
AZ times the Senator, who has been
flic head and front Of the opposition to
the seating Of Quay, was lroEical In
Quoting Hamilton, Webster, Marshall
and Edmunds he remarked that he nm
derstcod they were constitutional law
yers Of some ability, though in view Of
what he had heard recently he was not
sure that his understanding was correct
Although the Michigan Senator in
dulged in some spread eagle flights Of
rhetoric, most Of the time he held him
self very close 10 the constitutional law
aspects Of the matter He marshalcd all
the really great lawyers Of the country
against the contention of Quay's friends
and even quoted Senator Hoar against
the position he now holds He apologize
cd for quoting the man who has made
the chief argument for Quay, but he
said Mr. Hoars arguments in 1879 were
50 cogent he could not resist the tcmpta-
ton n'f
None Of the Quay men undertook to
interrupt the Michigan Senator IL was
evident that Mr. Burrows was too well
prepared TO be tripped up on any point
As he proceeded Senators accorded him
the closest attention, notwithstanding
the fact that he was traversing grodnd
that had been gone over by every other
man who has spoken on the subject
Senator Hale, the most blase man in the
Senate, was 50 absorbed that he was
apparently oblivious 10 everything ex-
cept the earnest words and gestures of
the Senator from Michigan, who, in his
peroration, implored the Senators to pre-
vent further smirching Of the name of
the Senate and further lowering Of that
body in popular estimation by following
the precedents of n century.
