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 S. B. Hartxnaa, M D. nma cure^ hl1^
is you say, it
would cure me also. 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

sacredly confidently I never use any
one's name or address without his
written consent. My correspondence
Is absolutely private. PERUNA IS
FOR SALE AT ALL DRUG STORES.

are making inquiries for the oldtime
Peruna. To such would say,
