Several years ago. was troubled with
Brights disease. which worried me q
great deal as my father who had doc
tored a long time with the best doctors OF
Kendalville, Ind, without relief or cure
died OF that dreadful disease. Having
been around my father most Of the time
during his Illness became familiar with
the symptoms OF Brights Disease.
When 1 had my first attack my face be-
came swollen and all grew black before
my eyes and / felt as though there was
little hope for me. After having several
Of these attacks, 1 began taking DIR. Kill

mended to me and noticing some improve
ment continued its use for one year. never
missing one day but taking same as reg
ular as though a physician was prescrib-

1t is now two years that discontinued
the use OF swamp-Root as consider my
self absolutely cured OF any trouble, hay-

AGAINST FEDERAL CONTROL

CONTINUED from First Page)
msndS that complete publicity be re-
aulred to surround all issues OF securi-
ties and that any interstate railroad Is
suing stocks and bonds be required 10
furnish 10 the Interstate Commerce com
miAsion a full statement OF the details
OF the issue. the purposes for which the
proceeds are TO be used. and an account
ing for the expenditures OF such pro-
ceeds.
Accurate knowledge Of the facts sur
rounding the issue on securities and the
expenditure OF the proceeds IL the matter
OF most Importance" the commission
says. 1T Is the enc thing upon which
the federal government can effectively
insist today; IL Is the fundamental thing
which must serve as basis for whatever
regulation may be desirable In the future.
'Tf full publicity be given we shall also
lessen the fraudulent creation OF debt. 1,
is the degree Of publicity rather than the
atringency Of the law which gives to the
people any real protection. A stringent
law inadequately enforced and secretly
evaded Is the worst thing that can be
possibly offered to the public. because II
gives color TO claims which have no
foundation and fact"
In determining the physical value OF
railroads In relation TO their securities
now outstanding tho commission puts
aside as entirely out OF the question any
attempt 20 scale down outstanding securl-
ties on the ground that constitutional
difficulties. pablo expediency ana conf
dence In American railroad investments
would forbid Il.
The commission feels that railroad de-
Velopment has gone so far and such n
volume OF securities has already been
issued that the only questions Of real
importance are whether II Is desirable
for the federal government 20 regulate
the issue OF future securities, and, II 20,
10 what extent and In what manner.
The complex relations between securities
already outstanding has made II impossi.
BILE TO treat the question OF future rexula-
lion as Il might have been treated II
those securities were not already In
existence.
In cases where II Is found that the
issued securities exceed the physical
valuation the commission is not in favor
OF forbldding further issue until the de-
flciency Il made up. because the principle.
u generally applied. might prevent rail-
roads from securing capital necessary for
the service OF a community.
