ner together, few of the negroes
of the south would ever know of
the incident.—Rogers Democrat.
Very correctly said. The
Graphic has been of the opinion
ever since the Roosevelt-Wash
ington affair that too much prom
inence is given to such by the
southern press. Of course a
newspaper is justifiable in print-'
ing a mere mention of it as a
matter of news, but it is not of
importance enough to require
“scare headlines" and lengthy
editorial dissertations. It would
be much better if it were not
printed at all, and when it is j
done it should be done without i
display. The negroes can not)
be censured for attaching much
importance to an event to which
the newspapers attach the same.

BRIGHT’S MS IS A
I Many people who are neglecting symptoms of kidney trouble, hoping “it will wear away,” are 1
■ drifting towards Bright’s Disease, which is kidney trouble in one of its worst forms. ^
l«A FOLEYSKIDNEYCURE
I \\ stops Irregularities, strengthens the urinary organs and builds up the worn-out tissues
j§ of the kidneys so they will perform their functions properly. Healthy kidneys strain out ,
I the impurities from the blood as it passes through them. Diseased kidneys do not, and ■
fl -~ Hair^r^Ml iTf rr**T‘ > the poisonous waste matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body, ■
M 11 TjSfe- ish liver, irregular heart action, etc. H
I J vfrs commence taking FOLEY'S H
■ U t a few days and prevent a K
m fatal malady. It is pleasant to take and benefits the whole system. ■
I Now to Find Out.
You can easily determine if your kidneys ars
out of order by setting aside for 34 hours •
bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If
upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has
a brick-dust sediment or small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are diseased, and
FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE should be takes
at once.
8. B. BuHmiim TestHlee After Four Yeare.
G. B. Burhans of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes:
“About four years ago I wrote you stating that I bad baas entirely
cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bottles of
Foley's Kidney Cure. It entirely stopped the briek-dust sediment and
rlin and symptoms of kidney disease disappeared. I am glad to say that
have never had a return of any of those symptoms during the four
years that have elapsed, and I am evidently cured to stay cured, and
heartily recommend Foley's Kidney Cure to any one suffering from
kidney or bladder trouble.
