Railroad Commission.
Turn- 15 from tho governors act,; of
OBiissIi n to his deeds of extravagance
Jet us look at the present railroad txmi-
mlsslori.
Under the mandate cf tin? constltu*
ticn of 1377, our fathers established
the commission with throe motnbers
of whom one must be “of experJe
In law” and on« "of experience in
railway affairs."
This commission, when 1
member of It, coat tho people about
$11,000 annually. Governor Smith,
however, Inat August, had the number
' of commission Increased to five, be-
aides an atorney for the commission,
and removed the requirement that Do
hoard which regulates the railroads
vboulJ have at least one member who
Knew something about operating u
railroad.
Thus under Governor Smith’s domi
nance five Irresponsible office seekers
Without any qualifications, can be
named to supervise tho building of
AtpoU, the operation of trains, the
adjustment of freight and passenger
tariffs and otherwise In the regulat
tlan of railroads, which constitute one-
seventh of the tuxuble values of our
state, bo called upon to protect the
welfare of the people of Georgia, hue
whose want of qualifications would
make.them utterly unfitted for this
pesltkai.
The expense to the People 01 this
commission of non-ex ports under Gov
ernor Smith’s itipcnlslon has grown
in this rhort space of time to more
than $35,000 per ufinum.

The only valuable testimony which any household remedy
caq have is the testimony of those who have used it It
is worse than useless to discuss Peruna from a theo
retical standpoint. It is what Peruna will do, not
what people say about it, that constitutes evi
dence. The housewives of the United States
know what Peruna will do. They have
tried it. They have realized its benefit
in the family. They are the ones that
are competent to speak of it
Self-appointed critics know noth
ing: of it whatever.
Peruna Their Family Medicine.
Mrs. Anna C. Hyde, 712 E. Yamhill

of New Hampshire, writes:
"I am pleased to endorse Pernna as an
all-round good family medicine, ar.d

it to mine at tho least suggestion of a
cold, and tako it myself to build up my
strength and nerves.
"My sister, who is JivIngTwith mo,

"Your medicine is certainly worthy
of praise.”
The Testimony of These Three Housewives Demonstrates Beyond All Cavil
That Peruna Is a Safe and Useful Remedy.

Mrs. Anthony Rauch, 300 N. Walnut
street, Bucyrus, O., writes:
"I was suffering from obstinsto con
stipation and torpid liver, when I took
your advice and purchased six bottles of
Peruna and Manalin. When 1 had taken
only one bottle I felt much better, and
since I have taken two more bottles I
feel entirely well, but I will contlnnc
taking the medicine for a short timo to
make sure of my cure.
"I think Manalin is one of the finest
remedies for constipation that I
tried. I will never be without it. It
has made me so strong. I can do a
day’s work and never tiro. I am' ao
glad I do not get those dizzy spells any
more. I haven’t had one since 1 took
your medicine.
"1 cannot thank yon enough for what
your medicine has done for me. All
sick people should give it a fair trial,”
Kidneys and Bladder.
Mrs. Gu*. H. Carlson, Box 201, Orton-
ville, Minn., writes:
"I had catarrh of tho kidneys and
bladder. I have taken Peruna until
now, and I do not think I need to take It
s.uy longer.
“I feel wMI, and my tongue is clear,
and I have no bitter taste in my mouth,
am very thankful for Peruna.”
Backache, Headache.
Mrs. Treble Nelson,000 N. Fifth Ave.,
Nashville, Tenn., writes:
“As Peruna hng done mo a world of
good, I feel in duty bound to tell of it. In
hopes that it may meet tho eyo of some
woman who has suffered as I did.
For five years I really did not know
what a perfectly well day was, and If I
did not have headache, I had backache
a pain somewhere and really life was
not worth the effort I made to keep
going.
'A good friend advised me to use
Peruna and I Mas glad to try anything,
and I am very pleased to say that six
bottles mado a new woman of mo and I
have no more pains and life looks bright
again.”
Catarrh of Bowels.
Mrs. Maggie Durbin, 1332 North street.
Little Rock, Ark., writes:
"I was troubled for five years with a.
chronic disease. I tried everything I
heard of, but nothing did me any good.
Some doctors said my ^rouble was ca
tarrh of the bowels, and some said con
sumption of the bowels. One doctor
said he could cure me. 1 took his medi
cine two months, but it did me no good-
A friend of mine advised me to try
Pernna and I did so. After I had taken
two bottles I found it was helping me,
so 1 continued its use, and it has cured
e sound and well.
“I can recommend Peruna to anyone,
and if anyone wants to know what
Pernna did for me if they will write to
me I will answer promptly.”
