WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills Of MaysvIlle People.

As one weak link weakens a chain
so may weak Kidneys weaken the
whole body and hasten the final
breaking-down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys and gener-
ally when their activity is lessened the
whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills frequently come, and there
ia an ever-increaslng tendency to-
wards dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's
disease. When the kidneys fail there
is no real help for the sufferer except
kidney help.

Changes which mean great deal to

line, according to Judge A. L. SUIT

called at republican headquarters.
"The republican ticket will surely
be elected from top to bottom said
the Judge. Il have been especially
pleased with the sentiment in favor

the republicans. The Hughes senti-

be sufficient to carry him across as

Georgia, and the South, by H. r. But
Ter, of Atlanta, a negro physician, well
thought of by both blacks and whites
il. this city, in connection with the
movement which is said to be taking
thousands of negroes out of the South
to the North on promises of bigger SAL
aries and pay.
Butler tells them that nobody denies
their right to go anywhere they want
to, but that they would be foolish o
leave without making sure they would
better themselves, and that movements
of this kind have resulted principally
in misery and suffering in the past. He
points out the failure of the deluded
ones who focked to Kansas in the
exodus years ago, and the suffering
and actual deaths that came to many Of
the negroes who followed the chimeri-
cal scheme to go back to Africa.
