Women as Weii as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind. diS' 3»uragcs and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfu'ness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent ~\] that it is not uncommon H for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid- * neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the avtate scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to eoittrol the passage, it is yet af.licted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the firs* 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 suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

Items from Part of the Southern Cherokee. Ravenna, ftec. 18.—Rev. W. E. Crocker, missionary to China, and who is spending a short vacation here, accompanied by Mrs Crocker, nrcached a very interesting sermon at Croucher last Sunday Mr Crock er is a wed educated man and knows how to ably handle the missionary work. As he so beautifully illustrat ed in his lecture. A well filled house greeted the speaker. Just after Mr. Crocker's fine mis sionary sermon. Rev. F. C. Hickson, nastor of church, delivered a beau tiful address, giving some interesting figures of this cl rch during his pas toral of eleven : ears. Your corres- pondent was pres- nt and never saw a more serious congregation as Mr. Hickson was speaking and a pin could have been heard strike the floor, as everything was so still and quiet. During Mr. Hickson’s pastorate one hundred and fifty have been bantized and many received by letter. Sever al times during these eleven years have dark and gloomy times been passed. But Mr| Hickson has been r- v ady always with his ever-ready help and has never, as we know, ever failed to do his duty. A resolu tion was read and adopted, praising Mr. Hickson for his faithful and en ergetic work which he has so ably carried out. Goucher has lost its "tost loved pastor and Mr. Hickson’s place is one that will be very hard to fill. Wherever he goes, our heart felt. sympathies follow him and we hope some sweet day to be abe to bear hitiT preach again. A collection was at once started to present Mr. Hickson with a nice present, hut as left before th - congregation was dismissed, we are not able to say how much was raised. After Mr. Hickson’s lecture was over, the Lord’s Supper was partaken of and today’s services leaves Goucher with out. a pastor. (’apt. John D. Jefferies and Mr. and Mrs. T. B.

James Donahue. New Britain, Con necticut, writes; “I tried several kid ney remedies, and was treated by our best physicians for diabetes, but did not improve until I took Foley’s Kidney Cure.
