D., OF THE DETROIT PRESBYTERY. Him: “I run now in my 73<1 year ami have servcil God fearlessly and to the best of my ability in my chosen calling. For more than forty years I have been afflicted with dyspepsia and nervous prostration. At times I would get so run down constitutionally through overwork as to be disqualified entirely from discharging my ministerial duties. 'J he older I grew the more the disease seemed to prey upon me. The most noted physicians failed to prescribe am medicines that benefited mo. I could neither eat nor sleep, ami lor more than two years I had to take sleeping powders every night. “My nervous prostration became well nigh unbearable. But for the grace of God helping me, I would not be in the land of the living. Language fails to express the agony of my mind. “Something over a month ago I began taking your preparation, Duffv’s Pure Malt Whiskey. In the brief period of two days I found that it began to help me. It gave me strength, helped my digestion, settled my nerves and 1 have gained ten pounds since taking it. I thank God there is such a medicine to be bad, and recommend all people with weak, broken-down constitutions and nervous people especially to use it. I feel that it w ill help them. I w ill be glad to answer any communications in regard to the healing virtue of your preparation. 1 am a temperance man, and 1 do not think my position in this matter will be mis understood.” Yours very truly, (REV.)

Many Important Matters Will Come Up for Consideration—Governor’s Message Transmitted—Amendments to Election Laws, Etc. Atlanta. June 22.—The legislative session of 11*()4 assembled this morn- i;.g with a lull atendance. Many mem bers nf both bodies reached the city Tm iday and Tuesday night, and were in conspicuous evidence around t he ho tel lobbies and in the corridors of the capitol. The meting hour was 10 a. m., and at that time President Clark Howell called the senate to order, while at the same time the gavel of Speaker Morris was heard in the hall of the house. The first thing after the roll call was the notice from the house to the senate and vice versa that each body was in session and ready for the transaction of business. Formal no tice to the same effect was also sent to Governor Terrell. Governor Terrell’s message was i ready for transmission to both houses. The governor’s message deals in large part with matters (hat have already been called to the attention of the leg islature in his annual messages and in . his recent speech of acceptance be fore' the state convention. The members of the legislature who arrived Tuesday said they were glad to get back for another session, and expressed the belief that it would be an Important and profitable one. “This is going to be strictly a bus iness session.” said a well known member of the house. "There are ! many important matters to be given i attention., and it is a fortunate thing we have no politics to bother us. We have plenty of time in which to attend properly to the matters before us, and 1 think the session will prove a prof itable ona to the people of the state.” Tne most pressing matters before the present general assembly will be the passage of general tax and general appropriation bills. These will be in troduced in the house early in the ses sion and referred to the proper com mitters. These measures naturally require some time for consideration, hut as they will probably be passed to cover only one year this time, it is not thought they will in any wise delay adjournment beyond a reason able hour, as is sometimes the case. Amendments to the election laws, particularly with a view to safeguard ing primary elections, will bo pre sented in large numbers. As the outcome of the judgeship race, in the Blue Ridge circuit, numerous bills along this line are looked for, and there is no doubt an effort will be disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid- j~- - neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppos*.. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trout le, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
