Remedy for 40 Years
A Pronounced Success

When kidney diseases have been
successfully treated for a period of
more than forty years, it is reason
able to assume that the remedy
therefore must possess unusual mer-
it. Such is the remarkable record
of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Remedy. Without it's ability to give
relief and benefit it's users so that
they would continue it's use, it could
not have existed 40 months, much
less than 40 years of it's enviable
record. Many letters have come to
us to prove that it has been house.
hold remedy for years and years.
Here is what one grateful woman
has recently written
"I wish to say that your remedies
have been used in our family for
fifteen years. We are never with
out bottle of Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Remedy in our home, and
it has saved many a doctors bill.

ROOT OPPOSES
R. R. GUARANTY
Says Railroads Would Lose
Incentive For Private
Enterprise

st. Louis, Mo-. May 14.-Compul-
sorry federal incorporation of rail-
roads, government guarantees of in
come and the removal of the roads
from the Jurisdiction of the present
state commissions, as steps proposed
prior to the return of the railroads
to private ownership. were con-
demned by Elihu Root in a letter
read yesterday before the Missouri
Bankers convention in session here.
Mr.. Roots letter was read by S.
Davies Warfeld. president of the
National Association of Owners of
Railroad Securities. who had re-
quested an opinion from Mr.. Root
as advisory counsel to the assoc:a-
ton.
AS an alternative. Mr.. Root un-
qualifedly endorsed the plan put
forward by the Security Owners As
sociation under which Congress
would fix a fair rate of return for
the railroads of each rate-making
district as a whole and require the
rate-making authorities to fix rates
which would presumptively yield
that return. In the event of any
road making more than the pre-
scribed return the excess would be
taken by the government and used
to promote public interest in trans
portation.
A general rate fixed by the gov-
ernment for all railroads. Mr.. Root
contends. has this defect: If the
rate is fixed so as to give fair re-
turn to weak roads it will give an
excessive return to the strong roads
while if the rate is fixed on the
basis of an equitable return to the
strong roads it would drive out of
business their weaker competitors.
In regard to federal Incorporation
Mr.. Root says: There is only one
avowed purpose which could be ac-
complished by this plan, and that
is to withdraw the railroads entire
~ from the jurisdiction of the State
Commissions. This is unnecessary
because Congress has power to au-
thoriZe the federal rate-making au-
thorities to overrrle the State Com
missions"
The proposal for a government
guaranty is objected to by Mr.. Root
on the ground that as the govern
ment must make the guaranty good
there would be neither opportunity
nor incentive for private enterprise
in the management or development
of railroads

Skin Ablaze
With Eczema

''I suffered with a most ag-
gravated case of Eczema, the
itching being so severe that L
could not sleep. I used thirteen
pounds of ointment tried nearly

treated by two skin specialists 1
am now convinced that Eczema
for ftan GHf seHepa e91a t6hogbie hote:
of S. S. s., 1 am entirely cured"
Years of untold suffering can
be avoided if the real cause of a
disease can be definitely deter.
mined, and the proper method
of treatment employed. Hence
those afflicted with Eczema will
continue to suffer as long as
they consider the disease con-
dition of the skin, and rely sole-
ly upon local applications Of
salves, ointments and similar
remedies. If you really want to
be cured you must realize that
the disease is in the blood, and
you can expect relief only from
treatment that is directed to-
ward cleansing the blood of the
disease germs. This is why
S. S. S. is so successful in the
treatment of Eczema and all
other diseases of the blood; be-
cause it acts as an antidote to
any impurity that finds lodg-
ment in the blood. Being pure
ly vegetable and guaranteed not
to contain a particle of mineral
substance, it is an exceptionally
fine tonic, and besides eliminate
ing from the blood all traces of
impurity, it builds UP and
strengthens the entire system at
the same time.
We invite everyone afflicted
with Eczema, or other blood or
skin disease, to write Our medi-
cal department for advice, which
is gladly given without charge.
Full instructions as to how to
treat your own Individual case
will be gladly furnished by our
chief medical adviser, who is an
expert on these diseases. ADJ

Constant Itching Almost
Unbearable.

Only those afflicted with Ec-
zema, with its terrifying irri-
tation and ceaseless itching
know what constant torture
this disease can cause. The dis
ease appears in different ways,
sometimes with a reddening and
irritation of the skin, sometimes
in the form of blisters. Other
cases of Eczema take the form
of a dry, scaly condition of the
skin that cracks and peels. But
no matter in what form the dis
ease appears, it is source of
constant fiery irritation that is
well-nigh unbearable.
Eczema is very often consid-
cred a skin disease. This is a
natural mistake, as it attacks
the skin and it is through the
skin that it causes so much dis
comfort and suffering. But the
real seat of the disease is the
blood. The germs of Eczema
are in the blood, and the irri-
tated and. diseased condition of
the skin is the result of the
germs trying to break out of the
system. Beyond the use of an
tiseptics to promote cleanliness,
there is no local treatment that
will accomplish a permanent
cure of this disease. And those
who have been relying altogeth-
er upon salves, soaps, ointments
and other local applications to
the skin will find that no perma-
nent good will come from such
treatment by itself.
Read how Basil M. Lanneau,
who resides on Confederate
Avenue, in Atlanta, Ga, found
relief from this terrifying dis
ease, after all local treatment
had failed. He writes:
