Ahy They Were
Certified

Being a state official and authorized
to authenticate documents. have
been called upon in my official capac.
ity to authenticate hundreds of state
ments that are so at variance with
the popular beliefs, and the evidence
OF the text books, as TO the durability
of chronic kidney disease, that the I'M
usual precaution was taken to have
them authenticated with an official
seal.
Text books declare that inhammat-
ion of the kidneys in the chronic
forms Is incurable.
Several hundred letters and state
ments selected because they were
from supposed ircurables were pres
ented for attestation and certificates.
The recoveries reported by them pei
nit only two views, viz either the age
of miracles has not passed or the text
books are wrong and the supposed
dead line between the durable and the
incurable forms of kidney disease has
disappeared, To my mind there is
no escape from the latter view, and
chronic kidney disease, even in its
worst forms, is no longer an incurable
malady.
further certify that tle recoyeries
certified to as above were made by
Fulton's Renal Compound
In attestation of the foregoing |
hereby attach my signature and offici-
al seal at my Office in Montgomery
Block, San Francisco, California, this
2Sth day OF February, 1908.

years he has made speciality of book

fitting him for the position. He would
make an excellent County Clerk. He
is entitled to and should receive the

]. FRANCIS RUSH.

County Drain Commissioner Rush
filed his annual report with the Board
of Supervisors last week. 1t is proba-
bly, one Of the largest, most comprehen-
sive and complete of any such report
that ever came before the board and
speaks well of the splendid ability and
natural aptitude of Mr.. Rush for this
work The committee having this re-
port in charge gave Mr.. Rush many
nice compliments on his work and his
report and, although a democrat, the
general opinion seems to be that he
will be reelected this fall by a good
majority, both on account of his excel
lent work and on account of his being
really the only regular candidate in the
field. Mr.. Rush is certainly most de-
serving of reelection and it is to be
hoped that republicans as well as dem
ocrats throughout the county will give
him their solid support.
