H 222 South Peoria St., 1 B Chicago, III., Oct. 7,1902. ^ Eight months ago I was so ill || B that I was compelled to lie or sit m K down nearly all the time. My B stomach was so weak and upset a B that I could keep nothing on it ffl B and I vomited frequently. I ft B could not urinate without great j| B pain and I couched so much that g S my throat ana lungrs were raw g fi and sore. Th9 doctors pre- |g B nonnced it Bright's disease and % B others said it was consumption, g I It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no de- ?5 sire to live. A sister visited me IS from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. fl I told her I had not and she ii bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could save much suffer- flj ing if they but knew of its value. || Don't you want freedom from 9 pain? Take Wine of Cardui B and make one supreme effort to V be well.

Presentment of the Grand Jury STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. COUNTY OF LEXINGTON,. Court of General Sessions. To the Honorable Grand Jury of the county and State aforesaid: We, the undersigned special committee, appointed by your body to examine the public offices of the county, report as follower That, with the assistance of the expert of your selection, we made an examination of all the public offices of the county and found them well keDt. the records properly cared for and have no recommendations to make in regard to any of them. We found ail of the officials courteous and obliging and seemed to have the business of their respective offices well in band. From the examination madp, we find that each official had sufficient funds in bank to meet the obligations of bis office. We find the dispensary system of this county to be under good management and the books of account as kept by Mr. R L. Keisler to be correct in every inspect and above criticism. We have examined the improve! ments placed in the Clerk's office by the County Commissioners, are highly pleased with the same, and consider that the money for the same was well spent and in the end will be a great saving to the county. At the time cf our examination the county was free of debt and it will oaly be necessary to contract a short loan to meet the demands from now until the taxes for the present year are collected. We are informed that the levy for this year has been made sufficiently high to put the county on an absolutely cash basis for another year, and we desire to commend the Commissioners and the members of the General Assembly from this county for so doiDg. Respectfully submitted, W. M. Addy, James K. Swygert. Scott P. Shirey, Special Committee Grand Jury. September 20, 1904. STATE OF SOUrH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF LEXINGTON, i C^urfc of General Sessions. To the Honorable R 0 Purdy, Judge Presiding at the September Term of Court for said Couuty and State. We, the ^rand jury for said county and State, beg leave to report that - -lit # A 1 _ ? 3? !. ? we nave periormea an 01 me auuew rfquired of us at thiffterm, have acted upon all bills banded us by the Solicitor and have returned the same into the bands of the court with, our findings endorsed thereon. At a former term we appointed Messrs. W. M. Addy, J. K. Swygert and Scott Shirey, as a special com! mittee to examine the county offices ; ^nd elected F. E. Dreher, Esq., as expert to assist them in the work. Their report is herewith submitted as a part of this, our presentment, with our endorsement thereof. We recommend tha* the said expert be paid the usual fee of twenty dollar for his services. Our special committee appointed to visit the poor house report that | the buildings are in good repair, the I inmates well cared for, properly fed | and nursed and ail satisfied. The I farm has been satisfactorily cultivated and has a good crop thereon. They also report that some clothing, bedding and one or more bedsteads are j now needed, ana we aeK mat me County Commissioners attend to this at once. We have examined all of the pub lie buildings of the county and have no recommendations to make as to any needed repairs at this time. Reports have come to U3 from various sections of the county that eome of the road overseers have failed to apply all of the commutation taxes paid over to them to the roads where it lawfully belonge. Some of | the roads are in bad condition and should receive every dollar applicable to the working of same. We recommend and urge upon the County Commissioners to make a thorough investigation as to what I has been done with the commutation taxes paid out to the various overseers and see that it is properly applied to the roads. And should they had that any overseer hus willfully misapplied such funds entrusted to him, we recommend that the guilty party be prct-eeuted therefor. We deem it but fitting and proper at this time to express our high and public appreciation of the services of the Hon J. Wm. Thurmond. Tbi6 is the last term of court that this ad LUHttUtK UUU lucm ^jiuocwuviug uuai/v. will officiate at this place. Oa behalf of the whole county, we deBire to extend to him our thanks for the faithful services he has rendered his District. Through the able and conscientious discharge of his duties, we have been greatly aided, and crime and violation of law have been materially decreased. He shali carry with him our very best wishes and the plaudit of "well done.7' We desire also to express our/ appreciation of the courteous treatment that we have received from the Court and all of its cffiiers at this and previous terms. Respectfully submitted, W. M. Addy, Foreman of Grand Jury. September 20, 1904: Three Jurors Cured Of Cholera Morbus with One Small Bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Mr. G. W. Fowler, of Higbtower, Ala, relates an experience he had while serving on a petit jury in a murder case at Elwardsville, county seat of Clebourne county, Alabama. He say*: ''While there I ate some fresh meat and some soue6 meat and it gave me cholera morbus in a very severe form. I was never more sick in my life and sent to the drug store for a certain cholera mixture, but the druggist sent me a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Caolera and Diarrhoea Remedy instead, saying that h6 had what I sent for, but that this medicine was so much better be would rather send it to me in the fix I was in. I took one dose of it and was better in five minutes. The second dose cured me entirely. Two fellow jurors were tfflicted in the same manner and one small bottle cured the three of us."
