K. D. Haltiwanger. Death of Engineer Padgett. The body of Engineer L. H. Pad-; gett was found in the Seaboard Air ! . Line yards at Cayce, this county, Sunday morning. Mr. Padgett was to have made tiie run to Savannah | that morning and his failure to re- ; port for duty caused Inquiries to be ! instituted and a search made for him with the result that his dead body,not yet quite cold, was found iu a "drop pit." | It i9 not known uhfther his death j was caused from an accident, or was I the result of a murder and on this j point there seems to be a difference of opinion. The employee of the road say it was an accident, but there are oil er3 who believe ifc was murder, fl.ironer Weed held an inquest and the jury returned the verdict, that I 4,L. H. Padgett came to his death by I falling into a drop pit, which was open and situated in a roundhouse of the Seaboard company and which building was without lights.

I am losj Ing flesh rapidly and the doctors say I have every symptom of Bright's disease of the kidneys. If you think I would be benefited by Peruna I will certainly try some as the doctors have practically given me up, the same as A: A klm II uicj uxu inn** In reply I wish to say, first, that I i never make any promises as to what Peruna will cure. No physician can make positive statements of that sort. I can say this much, however, If I were in your place I should certainly give Peruna a trial. I know of no other remedy that would be so likely | to be of use to you in your present condition as Peruna. Take a tablespoonful before each meal and at bedtime. Continue this for two or three weeks and then if there is anything you wish to ask me further write me and I will give your letter prompt attention. If I find that the Peruna is not helping you I will be perfectly frank and tell you so, for I would not have you take Peruna unless it was really helping you. But it has rescued so many cases of kidney disease that I am quite confident you will find It exactly suited to your case. Kidney disease begins with catarrh of the kidneys. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Unless the destruction of the kidneys is already too great Peruna relieves the catarrh and-the' cause of the kidney disease is removed. I shall anxiously await a report of mM Pom?m' oil 1?ttorg arA /UUi VO0VI *WM4va " y sacredly confidently I never use any one's name or address without his written consent.
