Some time ago / began the use of

remarkable results. For years was almost

tors who treated me made me believe that
my great sufferings were due to female
trouble. / was SO bad at times / would
faint away and had sinking spells.
Finally a new doctor was called in and
he said that / had kidney trouble and
gave me medicine, of which / took sew
eral bottles. / obtained some relief from
this but l was getting weaker all the
time; could not sleep and suffered so
much pain that my husband and children
had to lift me in and out of bed. After
this time two friends sent me word to try
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, which / did,
and l am glad to state that the first dose
third dose / was helped into bed and slept
half of the night.
/ took several bottles of Swamp Root
and / feel that / owe my life to this
wonderful remedy. The two family doc
tors said that / could not live three
months; my urine was in terrible con-
dition-thick and slimy-and would have
to be helped in and out of bed ten to
twenty times every night. After taking
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root for two days I
was entirely free from getting up and
could sleep soundly.

Dare TO Be Happy.

Let us never be afraid of innocent
Joy; God is good and what he does is
well done; resign yourself to every
thing. even to happiness; ask for the
spirit of sacrifice, of detachment, of re-
nunciation, and above all, for the spirit
Of Joy and gratitude. that genuine and
religious optimism which sees in God
a Father, and asks no pardon for his
benefits. We must dare to be happy
and dare to confess it, regarding our
selves always as the repositories, not
as the authors of our own Joy

the people of Louisiana do not
care so much for euch debasing
kind of campaign thunder. They
want to be shown wherein Mr..
Michel lacks the proper qualifica-
lions for the exalted office to
which he aspires. The fact that
he may not be a silver-tongued
orator is no argument against
mis- aspirations, for some of the
best men in the State are not
near as we'll off in that respect.
These men are to be found in
every community of the State,
and there are hundreds of them
who would unquestionably make
good in the Executive chair.
Mr.. Michel has been "boss"
in that he has ruled the destinies
of his home ward in Orleans par
ish for a number of years. Well
what of that? Has he ever done
anything really dishonest or dis
reputable as such? He has served
the State as it's secretary for sew

universally conceded that in this
capacity he has been all that could
be DESIRED? Then what is it that
is really tangible or Objectionable
that units him for the Governor

voters, unswayed by prejudice.

certainly reason it out to them
