Many Aifments>One Cause,

l have called these the inside nerves for
simplicity's sake. Their usual name is the
Sympathetic" nerves. Physicians call
them by this name because they are so
closely allied-because each is in such
close sympathy with the others. The re-
suit is that when one branch is allowed
to become impaired, the others weaken.
That is why one kind of sickness leads to
another. That is why cases become com
picated." For this delicate nerve is the
most sensitive part of the human system.
Does this not explain to you some of the
uncertainties of medicines 1t not good
reason to your mind why other kinds of
treatment may have failed?
Don't you see that THIS is NEW in
medicine? That this is NOT the mere
patchwork of a stimulant-the mere
soothing of a narcotic? Don't you see
that 1t goes right to the root of the trou-
BILE and eradicates the cause?
But I do not ask you to take single
statement of mine-I do not ask you to
believe a word I say until you have tried
my medicine in your own home at my ex-
pense absolutely. Could l offer you a full
dollars worth free If there were any mis-
representation? Could I let you go to
your druggst-whom you know-and pick
out any bottle he has on his shelves of
my medicine were 1t not UNIFORMLY
helpful? Could I AFFORD to do this il
were not reasonably SURE that my
medicine will help you?

assessed valuation, while the gross earn
ings of the farming lands of the state
every year amount to almost as much
as their assessed valuations Therefore as
tax dodgers the railroads are far more
liberal than the owners of the farm lands.
After all why has the question of rail-
road rates been injected into the guberna-
torial fight? The governor of this state
is neither member nor an ex-officio
officer of the railroad commission, nor
has he under the new law power to APP
point the commissioners. AS chief execu-
tive of the state he merely has the power
to see to it that the commissioners live

Vote BUYING at Buffalo.

John Gilmer Speed in Harper's Weekly.
In the city of Buffalo, the waterfront
wards, the wards in which the railroads
are located and the wards containing
the big foreign population, are influenced
and controlled absolutely every year by
the use of money. District committeeman
are given from $50 to $10e each to spend
for liquor. cigars and carriage hire, and
candidates for aldermen and other minor
offices get out and spend large sums.

the shrewder poltj clans do it few days
before election. They figure to such a

are counted, whether the goods they bar
gained for have been delivered.

For Kidney Troubles

The kidneys are the blood filters. They
are operated solely by the inside nerves.
The branch which operates them and re-
gulates them is called the renal plexus.
When the renal plexus is weak or irregu-
lar. the kidneys become clogged with the
very poisons they should throw off. NO
kidney treatment can clean them out or
cure them and one stage leads into an
other until after n while the kidneys
themselves begin to break down and dis

In 1871 the Alabama and Chattanooga
road went into bankruptcy and the state
became responsible for the bonds. Gov
ernor Lindsay retained General Clanton
as counsel for the state to seize and
operate the property of the road. On ac-
count of other states owning interest in
the line some trouble was experienced,
but In the end the road was seized and
operated for time by the state.
The railroad debt continued to grow and
In 1872 with only 1900 miles of railway
the state has endorsed railroad bonds to
the amount of sl7,000,000
In 1909, when Governor Houston was
elected, there were only two roads in the
state that were paying expenses and the
amount of railroad bonds endorsed by the
state and other indebtedness exceeded
