DOCTORS PRESCRIPTION FAILED.
The GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY
PROVES ITS MERIT

lie gives me great pleasure to say a good
word for DR.. Kilmer's SWamp-Root be-
cause it has cured me of severe case of
Kidney Trouble I had suffered for some
FIVE years with this trouble, and more
especially for the first three months of
1909.
Physicians prescribed for me, but with
out much success, and any relief obtained
was only temporary. had severe pains
in my back and at no time was free Of
pain. When stopped down it was with
some difficulty that I could straighten
my body again. could not lift any
weight of consequence without great
pain. I would be compelled to arise and
give the bladder relief. a friend of mine
advised me to take DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, whereupon wrote to DR.. Kilmer
for sample bottle which 80 benefited me
that I was led to believe it would be q
great help to me. Accordingly I pur-
chased two bottles of Swamp-Root from
Mr. A. p. Perry, my Druggist, and the
effect has been truly marvellous.
/ feel like a new man and have every
reason to believe that I am cured, and
that no other medicine could have accom-
plished SO much Now I can raise a
heavy load, can bend my back over my
desk all day, and feel none the worse for
it. In view of the foregoing facts, I
sincerely trust that this testimonial may
reach some of those who are suffering
after the manner before described and
that it may convince them that the merit
of this great medicine should be given q
fair trial in their case.

Those Concrete Walks.

How many feet of concrete paving
viii so down around the Square with
the advent of Spring? Has any pre-
paration been made to put down any?
We will venture to say not. Sometime
since the City Council passed an ordin-
ance placing it at their option to force
the putting down of concrete walks
around the square, conforming'to speri-
fcations submitted at the time. Surely
we stand in crying need of sidewalks
of some description around the square,
there are places that are a menace to
the public. Does the City Council ordain
just to be ordaining, or will they exer-
else their option when the weather will
permit. Or better still, will the enter
prlsing property owners around the
suuare get busy and put down concrete
walks ia front of their property with
out the intervention of the City dads.

MAY Refuse Admittance.

The Court of Appeals at Frankfort
last Friday held that persons who are
intoxicated are not in proper condition
to be received on train, and may be
refused admittance, even though they
have purchased tickets, reversing the
Judgment of the Lewis Circuit Court
which awarded M. B. Scissor 5000 dam
ages for being elected from train of
the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad.
Scissor bought ticket at Vanceburg
to South Portsmouth, KY, and when
he started to board the train the con-
ductor noticing his condition, told him
he could not get on his train for he
would not carry him.
Scissor then went up to the front
coach and boarded the smoker. After
the train pulled out of Vanceburg Sal
sor became so boisterous he was ejec-
ted. The court here says that after
being refused admittance by the con-
ductor Scissor was trespasser.
