the Following Frank md
Outspoken Statement of
What Duffy’s Pure Malt
Whiskey Has Done for
REV. A. McLEOD, D. 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.) A. McLEOD, D. D. Greenleaf, Mich., Jan. 211, l 1 .*04.

Wires Laid to Rock Are Electrified by

Toccoa, (la., June 22.—As the result:

Tocoa Rock Crushing company, 31
miles west of Tocoa, on the main line
of the Southern railway, one man

The men were ready to set off 24
blasts. This is done by electricity
from a battery at a safe distance from
the quarry. A wire connects the bat
tery with each hole in the rock in
which dynamite has been placed.
About 15 men had just finished ad
justing the wires to the 24 blast shots.
As the men were beginning to movd
away in order that the blast might ba
set off there came a Hash of light
ning and at once the air was filled
with rock.
The lightning had sent an electric
current through the wire to the. dyna
mite in the blast holes and the 24
were set off at once, showering rock
down over yie men.

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.
