the editor, remain sick at least

Geewliilikens is dangerously
sick as we go to press and then
while lugging the papers to the
postoffice meet the said party
on the street looking well.

Kidney and Bladder complaints, has met
with almost instantaneous success be
cause it has made some noteworthy
cures of very severe cases.
Mr. John Post, of ths Atlanta Fire
Dept., writes:
For months I suffered with my kid
neys. I made every effort to get relief, 1
but failed until I accidentally came in ;
? 3ssession of a bottle of Black Weed.
he relief obtained from its use was so !
great before half the first bottle had i
been used, that I put aside all other ;
medicines and am now sound and well,
having been cured completely by Black
Weed. At the same time I had an ag
gravated case of Catairh of the head
and throat. Black Weed has completely
cured this, and my head is now as clear
as a bell. >1

gists at $1.00 a bottle, or we will send
