Dodd's Kidney Pills have cured hun

exactly what Dodd's Kidney Pills do.

Philadelphia Press: Every one hal

master on horseback. and the dog that
leads the old blind man. and the one
that carries his masters cane or pa
per, and the dog that can do tricks,
but 1t has been left to an uptown ex-

Protesting Aea,ns, Rate Reduction


The recent proposition of j. Pope
Brown, Chairman of the Georgia Rail
road Commission, to reduce the passen-

railway train men, carpenters and
ioiners. clerks and car men. These or
CARNATIONS employed an attorney cs-
pccialy to represent them. who urge
that such Il reduction would work
against the prosperity of the State and
lead to reduction in the number of
railroad employees. as we'll as of their
wages The Travellers Protective AS

POINTERS FOR FARMERS.

From the Farmer and Breeder.
Tobacco water will destroy bugs and
worms on rose bushes.
Keep the ground which the crops oc-
cupy free from weeds and soft and
mellow.
1t always pays to make every addi-
tion to the manure heap possible.
Loose hair in the name and tail of
horse usually denotes bad blood.
A noisy and slow mixer will soon ruin
the most gentle of COWS.
\ slow. sluggish horse is nuisance
everywhere except at heavy dray work.
While salt is beneficial to trees it
must be used in limited quantities or it
may kill them.
DO not be too cautious about thinning
out the plants as the remainder will
only grow the larger.
The best stock for any farmer to keep
is the kind best adapted to his farm
and his markets.
The dairy COW should be we'll suited
to her business in life and not be a
mere stock or beef animal.
Feed will obviate many difficulties in
breeding and building up amy animal,
\ and sheep are no exception.
The future horse depends good deal
on the treatment the young colt re-
I ceives the first summer of its exist
/ ence.

Mrs. Pinllham claims that there is :.
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which. while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof OF this theory we call at
tention to the ease of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, n. Y. who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
/" For two years | suffered with dyspepsia
which SO degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. | tried different dyspepsia cures,
hut nothing seemed to help me. ! was adj
vised to give Lydia E. Pnkhnm's Vegetable
Compound n trial, and was happily surprised
to fin that it acted like fine tonic and in a
fewe.ays began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was n we'll woman. / have rec
Commended it TO many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
tied endorsement, or has such a record OF
cures of female troubles. as has Lydia
h. Iinlham's Vegetable Compound.
