A Continual Strain.

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual straip" because of some
financial or family trouble. 1t wears and
distresses them both mentally and physi-
cally, affecting their nerves badly and
bringing on liver and kidney ailments,
with the attendant evils Of constipation,
loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vital
ity and despondency. They cannot, as a
rule, get rid Of this continual strain"
but they can remedy it's th-destroy-
ing effects by taking frequent doses of
Green's August Flower. 1t tones up the
liver stimulates the kidneys, insures
healthy bodily functions, gives vim and
spirit to ones whole being, and eventu-
ally dispels the physical or mental dis
tress caused by that continual strain"

formed and believes and 80 alleges
and charges that Milburn and the
contracting firm, npon the accept
ance of the bid made by McIlvain 81
Unkefer Co. and the execution of
said contract, "then and there en-
tered into an agreement to cheat and
defraud the State of South Carolina,
whereby the said defendants should
not perform the work according to
the true intent and meaning of the
contract and it is also charged that
Milburn would protect them and de-
clare the work properly done.
The complaint charges further
that the firm, "after said collusion
and fraudulent agreement" carried
out the work improperly and fur
nished defective material, "it being
well understood that the plans and
specifications had been drawn and
would be 30 interpreted by the said
f. p. MilburD 80 as to permit the
same to be done," and that thereby
they procured from the plaintiff the
sum of $158,306 for the payment of
work done and material furnished
"wholly defective, insufficient and
valueless to the plaintiff for the pur-
poses of the completion of the State
House"
1t is charged that the contracting
firm "obtained and converted to
their own nse a large amount of
valuable material belonging to the
plaintiff" and also "when acting in
lretensive performances of said con-
tract exposed the exterior of the
State House to the weather." etc.
In conclusion the complaint de-
clares
"The plaintiff is informed and be.
lieves that by the aforesaid acts of
the defendants done and performed
under the aforesaid fraudulent and
collusive agreement to cheat and de-
fraud the plaintiff has been damaged
in the sum of 100000.
