In 1905 The Rhea Live Sock Co. was formed with his brother, Thomas H. Rhea and others, and they have had an extensive business in" stock, buggies and waeone. of which he wa9 chief manager until his death.

Rhea, of Bristol, Tenn.; sister, Mrs. M. T. Ensor of Bristol, Tenn.; brother, Thomas H. Rhea, who is now the manager of The Rhea Live Stock Co., of Columbia, and brother, II. E.

As they did not seem to go away, I thought that my kidney were affected. At night when I lay down, my back pained me and I had a too frequent desire to pass the kidney secretions.
