GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY SAVES
TWO CHILDREN In ONE FAMILY

About one year ago two OF my children
suffered badly from weak kidneys and
diabetes. They would have severe spells
of dizziness and we're all run down in
health. I was just about discouraged. /
tried several remedies and finally a doc
tor, but they did not seem to improve,
knew of a friend who was taking
Swamp-Root for kidney trouble with good
results and 1 decided to get some for the
children / had noticed that there was
some improvement after they had taken
two large bottles and continued to give
ii to them until they had taken one-half
dozen bottles and were well on the road
to recovery. 1 think DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root has done more for my children than
any other medicine I have tried and rec
ommend 1t to anyone having children
that suffer as mine did.
Very truly yours,

Dothan, Ala.

day of July, 1909, r. w. Lisenby, who
subscribed to the above statement and
made oath that the same is true in sub

OFFICERS PUZZLED
BY STEPHENS DEATH

swAINSBORO, Ga. Dec. 5.-The mys-
terry surrounding the killing of William
Stephens, who was murdered while
asleep in his bed in his home in the up
per part of Emanuel county. Is puzzling
the officers deeply still. since they cam
not find any clue TO the murderer or
what the motive for the killing was,
Some one entered the room in which
Mr.. Stephens slept, committed the crime
and left before the murdered mans
daughter, who was cooking breakfast IN
the kitchen, could reach her fathers
bedside. The bullet penetrated the top
of Mr.. Stephens head, causing instant
death. Stephens had pistol between
the bed and mattress, but 1t was found
loaded all around. which precludes all
idea of suicide. The bali which entered
re top of the head ranged down the
backbone. The officers are busy try
ing to obtain some clue from which TO
work.
