A CONTINUAL STRAIN.

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual stain" because of some
financial or family trouble. 1t wears
and distresses them both mentally and
physically, affecting their nerves bad
ly and bringing on liver and kidney
ailments, with the attendant evils OF
constipation, loss of appetite, sleepless-
ness, low vitality and dependency
They cannot, as a rule, get rid of this
continual strain," but they can rene
dy its health destroying effects by TAX
ing frequent doses OF Green's August
Flower. 1t tones up the liver, stimu-
lates the kidneys, insures healthy bod
lily functions, gives vim and spirit to
ones whole being, and eventually dis
pels the physical or mental distress
caused by that Continual strain"

ed only six blue geese. once before
he captured one, and taking 1t to the
camp, he tied it securely by the leg
to tent stake.
Killed While Tethered.
In the party were several Kansas
City men, and one of them arose early
the next morning and in the dim light
he saw the blue goose, but did not
know that 1t was a captive. He ac-
cordingly slipped back into the tent
and secured his gun, and getting in
easy range he transformed Mr.. Nc
Nees prize into a mangled mass of
feathers. OF course, the man was very
sorry, and while Mr.. McNee did not
feel very kindly about it, he is too
much of a gentleman to have given
expression to his sentiments, and there
fore he turned il all off as a joke on
the tenderfoot hunter who thought that
wild geese came to hunters camps to
roost
Mr.. McNee is not a market hunter.
He hunts for pleasure and not for
financial gain. There are geese in the
McNee yard which haven't the mark
of shot or bullet on their bodies.
They are birds on which the hunter
has cut the feathered tips off wing
by his unerring aim without touching
the bone. When the feathers grew out
the geese did not care to leave. Only
once, says Mr. McNee, have any MEM
bers of the flock deserted. One even
ing one white goose and two speckled
brants disappeared They did not re-
turn the next day. but the following
morning they were back in the pen
with their companions and have never
since shown any disposition to leave
Their owner thinks that they left be-
cause he neglected to feed them.

follows:
Ten white or snow geese.

where a Senator and Judge Came
From.

From the Norfolk Virginian Pilot.
Judge Pritchard was born in East
Tennessee, beyond what is known in
the locality as the Red Banks of
Chuckee, Chuckee being a river.
He was raised with one gallus and
upon such forage as he could find.
He became a devil in a printing
office and came along up from the
case" to be editor of several little
papers of five or six hundred circula-
tion and knocked about among the
little villages of Western North Caro-
lima of about the same population, and
finally read law and was admitted to
the bar in 1887.
He located at Marshall. in Madison
county. Marshall has one street, and
will never have any morei because
it can't There isn't room for it. 1t

a great rarity, and. of course, fetches

One of the oldest of the early trans
lations is that which gives it's name to
the Bug Bible" In the present YER
sion the fifth verse of Psalms xci
reads:
Thou shalt not be afraid for the ter
ror by night, nor for the arrow that
fiieth by day." In the Bible printed
in 1549 under the authorization of Ed
ward VI, the first part of this most
comforting verse runs: $50 thou shalt
not need to be afraid for any bugges
by night"
At first reading this sounds grotes-
que error, but little investigation will
show that the different expressions,
bugges and terror, are more closely al
lied than one would imagine In the
first place, strip bugge of it's old re-
dundancy of spelling and it becomes a
bug. The dictionary informs us that
bug is derived from the Welsh word
''bwg," which means a hobgoblin, or u
scarecrow, and that it is only by COM
paratively recent usage that it has
grown to mean a nasty or terrifying
insect. Just below this are the three
words bug, bugbear and bugaboo, and
grouped as all meaning the same thing

that the Scotchman, much as he dis

1t is a system original with DIR.

years of successful practice, twenty
years of close study and devotion to
a profession. There are diseases &C.
easionally met with that defy human
skill to cure, but should yours be such
a case the doctor will be frank enough
to tell you. An examination and per-
sonal chat costs you nothing, and in
the course of the conversation you
can gain much valuable knowledge
from the doctor. He will tell you
about yourself and about his system
of cure, and by what means he will
bring your cure about. This will not
obligate you to put yourself under
treatment, for 1t is entirely free. Such
a visit cannot help but be of value
and instructive to you, and for your
own sake you really should call. The
doctor will see you within a few sec
onds of your arrival, and he will de-
vote plenty of time to you. If you
would prefer to make a more definite
appointment you can do so by tele-
phone, letter or telegram.
MEDICAL BOOKS FULL OF SOUND
ADVICE FREE TO ANYONE.
While the doctor naturally prefers
to make the personal acquaintance OF
each patient, yet he realizes that many
find it impossible to call, and for the
benefit of these he has system by
which treatment can be forwarded to
the home with detailed instructions
that are easy to follow. If you would
like to have the doctor send you treat
ment, but prefer to find out more
about 1t, forward your name and ad-
dress with a brief description of how
you suffer and a booklet covering your
case, as we'll as a complete personal

draw your own conclusions whether

The Savannah morning news., 1904-06-05

1t is a sad fact that so many other
wise intelligent persons permit them
selves to become used to disease and
to think that it is a necessary part
of their weary existence. This is de-
plorable, for in the majority of cases
cure is really easily obtained.
If you cough and. hawk don't think
that it must be so; millions do not
do it; if you cannot hold your water,
do not attribute it to old age or he
redity, for others are just as old as
you whose functions are perfect, and
who, in spite of hereditary disadvan-
tages, have overcome the disease by
Intelligent treatment from a reputable
specialist. Because you feel that your
system Is inclined to rheumatism is
no reason why you should permit 1t
to develop in your body until it makes
physical and mental wreck of you.
Many who were even born of rheu-
matte parents, and in whom the dis
ease afterwards developed, found a
means of routing 1t.
These precautions apply with special
force to the thousands of men and
women, both single and married, who
are almost totally devoid of vital pow
er. who would like to have it restored
and are perfectly willing to pay some
one for it, but who lack the energy
TO apply to a specialist for a cure.
Men can be seen any day on the pub
lie streets virtually rotting away from
specific blood poison, neglecting them
selves, treating themselves or allow
