The .announcement of your c'and d- (lacy in your present state of lhe,' has earnedl deep concern to m'.an earnest men in this state, since it aal plain to all how dangerous our pos he tion woulid b e if your physici ')le strength is insufficient.

Relief From Head. ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc. Ringgold, Ga.- Mrs. Chas. Gast of this place, writes: "I am a us of Thedford's Black-Draught;. in fa it was one of our family medicin Also in my mother's home, when was a child. When any of us chi ren complained of headache, usua I caused by constipation, she gave a dose of Black-Draught, which we rectify the trouble. Often in I Spi'ing, we would have malaria a chills, or troubles of this kind, would take Black-Draught pretty r ular until the liver acted well, a we would soon be up and aro again. We would not be without for It certainly has saved us lots doctor bills. Just a dose of Bla Draught when not so well saves lot of days in bed." Thedford's Black-Draught has be in use for many years in the tre ment of stomach, liver and boy troubles, and the popularity which now enjoys is proof of its merit. If your liver is not doing its du you will suffer from such disagr r.ble symptoms as headache, billo ness, constipation, indigestion. e and unless something is done, serik trouble may result. Thedford's Black-Draught has be found a valuable remedy for thi troubles. It is purely vegetable, a acts in a prompt and natural w regulating the liver to its proi functions and cleansing the bowels impurities. Try it. Insist on Th ford's, the original and genuine.

Our people are most influent by the spoken word and that you ha long emphasized in your politi career. I know that it is most i portant to inform our people face face about the war, in order that ti may know the whole truth. Mr. Lever is a mars of responsil ity and judgment, and he would dou less resent the suggestion that he the candidate of any man. His ko and prominent service in congr makes him worthy of the conside tion of any man in this connection. I stated my views with entire frai ness to the president and also to Pc master General Burleson, and sta to the latter that he was at libe to tell you what I said.
