Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black -Draught.

Rossyille, Gains. Kate Lee Able, oi
this place, writes: "My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
iured himself with piece of heavy ma
ehinery, across the abdomen. He was
so sore he could not bear TO press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he
weighed 10 lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
II two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol-
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.

Draught. made him take a big dose,
and when it began TO act he tainted, he
was in such misery, but he got relief and
began TO mend at once. He got well,

thousands of people who have tried
many other medicines without being
benefited. And not any so far as can

BILE, are loudly proclaiming that Pura-
tone has restored their health. 1t

Or woman has suffered, they may,

dreds of people in this city, had the
following to say:
81 was miserable several years with
rheumatism and stomach trouble. My
appetite was scant and the little l
managed to eat disagreed with me
and caused severe pains in my stom
ach and chest. Gas would form on
my stomach and cause terrible bloat-
ing. | was so nervous and restless |
couldn't sleep well at night, and I
felt listless all the time. The rheu
matism caused terrible pains in my
legs, and at times l could hardly get
about. I took all kinds of medicines,
but nothing did me any good, and |
was going down hill all the time.
81 heard about Pomeroy's Pura-
tone and decided to give the medi-
cine a trial. 1t worked like charm.
/ now feel better than l have in
long time. Gas no longer forms on
my stomach. l have better appe-.
tite, can eat better and sleep better.
Ny strength has been increased won
derfully. The rheumatic pains have
been overcome. In fact | feel that |
am once again well man. Pura-
tone is just wonderful"

Candidate for Democratic Guber-

Wednesday Afternoon in
Butler.

John M. Atkinson, who is candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for Governor spent Wednesday after
noon in Butler in the interests of his
candidacy.
Mr.. Atkinson has many friends in

public career and who will support
him loyalty at the primaries.
He was born in Ripley county, and

and one of the state normals. He
served three terms in the state legis-

running second in field of seven
candidates. The primary defeat did
not dampen his desire for party Sue

JUDGE .MIDDLEroNs, RECORD
Mingo Township Farmer Has Made
Good Record as County Judge.

Judge Billy Middleton, of Mingo
township, who is candidate for re-
nomination for Judge OF the North
District, was in Butler the first of the
week meeting friends. MIR. Middle
ton is running on his record both as
Democrat and as a county official,
and his record as each is spotless.
Judge Middleton, who is a prom;-
nent Mingo township farmer, has al
ways been Democrat and has never
failed to support his ticket and his
party willingly and enthusiastically
and he may always be depended upon
TO do his part as Democrat wheth-
err candidate or not.
AS member of the county court
he has shown himself to be pains
taking, efficient, conservative Off
cial with the welfare of the county
always his first consideration, and it
is largely through his initiative and
that OF his colleague Judge Lowder
that the county bridge debt has been
so greatly reduced during the past
two years; and in this connection
Judge Middleton and Judge Lowder
have stood together in their claim
that the drainage district should pay
for drainage ditch bridges and not
the county, and their contention was
upheld by the Supreme Court in an
opinion handed down last week.
Among other notable accomplish
ments was the compromise made by
Judge Middleton and Judge Lowder
with the holders of the paving judg-
ment, whereby saving Of $2,7oo was
made for the county by these gentle
men, after final judgment had been
rendered against the county.
Never in years has the county been
in better condition financially and
the condition is due to the mature,
conscientious judgment of Judge w.
J. Middleton and Judge w. H. Low
der, who at all times have conducted
the county's business with the same
painstaking care which they as good
business men and successful farmers
would devote to their own affairs.
