YOUR friends have this disease you know
how disagreeable it is. Its symptoms
are inHamed eyes, throbbing temples,

is not question of what you will give,
but what you will take. If you will
take Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great
constitutional remedy, which purities,
enriches and vitalizes the blood, you
may expect to be completely and per-

MARRIED BY LETTER.
Court Says That Georgia Woman
Was Legally Married by Mail.

Miss Winifred Johnston of Carriers
vile, Ca, and Phillip Kinney, tray
cling man, were married by letter, and
the marriage has been declared bind
ing. Miss Johnston's parents are
wealthy farmers. While visiting in
Atlanta she met Kinney, who was IN ak
ing a southern trip. Miss Johnston's
parents objected to the marriage. An
elopement arranged was frustrated by
Miss Johnston's parents, and strict
watch was set up on Miss JOhnst n.
Kinney managed to communicate with
her and proposed marriage by letter.
An attorney was consulted, who de-
clared it would be perfectly legal. and
and a civil contract was drawn up IN
which the marriage question is lncor-
porated. A minister signed the doom
ments and they were submitted to the
parties by mail, they filling in the an
swers and signing in the presence OF
witnesses. Subsequently Miss John
ston went north. The question of le-
gality came up when Kinney was de-
frauded in land deal and made an eff
fort to recover the property on the
grounds that his wife had not signed
the conveyance. The defense made
was that he was not legally married.
The court reviewed the contracts and
held that the marriage was legal and
the transfer without the wife's sigma
ture was void.
