the best aervlces of our best cltlxens
In the administration of departments,
without pay. and wo should continue to
rely upon them.”
Judge Candler said he would not ask
council to adopt the resolution, and ro
made no motion, but left action to the
discretion of his colleagues.
As If seeing the campaign for com
mission government approaching, some
seemed Impatient to adopt the reeolu-
tlon. Councilman Hatclmr and Vaughan
wanted copies furnished each member
of council and this was directed. Others
began to make speeches and urge delib
eration and care and pleaded lack of
understanding on their part until fur
ther Investigation. But the vote to re
fer to the committee, which It Is known
will make a favorable report, was unan
imous.
The action of council was In striking
contrast to some of its sessions at the
first or the year, when far less Impor
tant similar reforms were proposed, and
Mayor Winn warned council that It was
building a base for commission govern
ment.
Solid Against "Enemy."
■ Monday afternoon there was har
mony. General council had united; and,
as Is a well known fact In political cir
cles. united with a firm determination
to defeat the commission government
movement
Tho the members of council don't
say so. the revised charter la to be pre
sented ss a substitute for the commis
sion plan charter. Members of council
say they can defeat commission gov
ernment without revising the charter
at all. The councllmanlc charter and
the commission charter will be present
ed to the public for discussion, and a
hard fight will come In the legislature.
The opponents of the commission gov
ernment, who ars supporters of coun
cil's chsrter, will make an effort to pre
vent the commission charter from being
presented to the people by the legisla
ture. A number already express them
selves as believing that It will never
reach the people.
Resolutions Ae Adopted.

the city attorney and assistant city at

Be It further resolved. That said at

| The Man Who Had Many Pains
J UDGING from the letter which the professor wrote me, he
was sorely .afflicted. It was a wonder to me how he man
aged to keep "his position 1 and teach his classes. It w “
- - over a year ago that I received the first letter
■ -n.....—— from j n it he described his ease minute
ly, and told Bbout the many, pains which were
almost driving him frantic. lie had a pain in
his hip, first one side, then the other. This
affected his legs, too, and was felt as far down
as his ankle*; He also had severe pains in his
back and frcipiently there would be a-numb
ness of the limbs. In fact, he had difficulty
in walking at times. Several physicians had
been consulted and had treated the professor
without any results. One physician diagnosed
his case one way and each of the others
thought something else was wrong. Altho I
suspected from the professor’s letter that he
was suffering from nerve exhaustion, I asked
that he visit me, and my examination con
firmed what I suspected. I told him he never
would get a cure by taking medicine for rheumatism—by treat
ing the symptoms instead of treating the CAUSE of the symp
toms. I explained how nerves which supply the various or
gans of the body with vitality affect the organs when the nerve
centers are affected. He understood that he would never be
cured by taking the old line nerve tonics which stimulate and
which, after the reaction, leave the patient in worse shape. The
professor, I am glad to state, is now in perfect health. His
pains have disappeared. My success in his case was due, as in
others, to the fact that for more than a third of a century I
have studied and specialized in diseases of men, nervous disor
ders and ehronic diseases. •
My long experience enables me to ascertain when such
symptoms reflect a disordered nervous system. By knowing
the CAUSE of the trouble—just because I am a crank on diag
nosis—I am able to use my knowledge to advantage. That's
why I say I can cure any case which CAN be cured. I am at
my office from 8 to 7; Sundays and holidays, 10 to 1. My

Funk, that the understanding was that
the man elected "should be used by
those Interested In his election." .
The witness declared that his com
