HAS CURE FOR
DREAD PELLACRA
E. w. Desmond Has Made Late
Discovery in Regard to
Pellagra.

In order that he might benefit
some of his neighbors who are
suffering from pellagra, j. L.
Shuts has secured from E. w.
Desmond some of his experience
in regard to the dread disease.
Mr.. Desmond calls attention to
the many errors he has found in
pellagra literature and says that
he has not written any for the
public because of this fact: AS to
his discovery he writes that it is
very simple and cheap to cure pei
legra, and that in many instances
a person may buy enough of their
medicine to make a permanent
cure for less than it would cost
them to go to a hospital. Mr..
Desmond is an uneducated man
living near Clinton, S. c., and his
success has attracted the attention
of the physicians of the country
and it was reported in the medical
journal of March 1912.
Mr.. Shuts letter is as follows:
Cosby, Tenn. Oct. 1, 1918.
Editor Plain Talk,
Newport, Tenn. .
Sir: Several weeks ago |
saw a sketch Cor clipping in your
paper concerning the dread di-
sease known as Pellagra.
AS it happened | was also &C
quainted with personal friend,
Mr.. E. w. Demond, of Clinton, S.
c., who successfully treated sever
al hundred cases within the past
few years.
| inclose you a letter received
from Mr.. Dedmond concerning
the disease and its treatment,
which if in print might be a help
or information to the public or the
people.
Very respectfully,
j. L. SHUTS.

The TEST OF MERIT
Newport People Are Given Con.
vincing Proof.

No better test of any article can be
made than the test of time and this Is
particularly true of kidney medicine.
Eoan's Kidney Pills have stood this
test and stood 1t we'll. What better
proof of the merits of this remedy
could you demand, than the statement
of a Newport resident who used it snc-
cessfully and tells of lasting results.
Read the following:
Mrs. M. E. Fancher, College Hill,
Newport, Tenn, Says: "For several
years was distressed by backache
and weakness through my loins and
| believe the trouble was caused by an
injury. The kidney secretions were
also disordered. Doan's Kidney Pills,
which l obtained from the MINIS
Drug Co., strengthened my back and
kidneys and after that my condition
imprsved in every way. 1 am glad
to confirm what | said about Doan's
Kidney Pills when l recommended them
before"
Remember The name-Doan's-and
take no other.

Roman Laws AGAINST Suicide.

Roman laws, permeated with stole
doctrines, looked indulgently upon
those who took their own life and
frowned only when this means was
employed to evade punishment for
some capital offense. Retribution,
however, followed the suicide, for his
goods were coniiscated unless some
measures were taken TO placate the
reigning and angered Caesar.

Haywood said today the attitude of
the police is explained by the fact
that of the four commissioners, one
is silk manufactures, another is SUI

owns department store and the
fourth is a newspaper publisher who
has always favored the employers.
These four appoint the chief of po-

dollars week is the very least any
girl can live on. And twelve dollars
a week leaves none too big a surplus
for emergencies.
"Once the girls are thoroughly or
gained, do not think they will stop
at demanding an eight dollar week
minimum. They might accept that
as beginning, but they certainly will
finish by demanding more.
''That is why the employers are
using every effort in their power to
crush down the organization move
ment.
They're afraid They probably are
pretty sure they can control the legis-
lature if it comes down to cases. But
they know that they cannot control
their own employees if once their own
employees unite.
"And their employees are uniting
now. They are beginning to see how
much they need the strength of I'M

in two meetings is pretty good con-
sidering the way the employers have
been fighting any attempt at organi-
