"For years we have secured 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.

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. By Aldermen Candler, Kelley and Warren: Be 1t Resolved, by the mayor and gen eral council of tho city of Atlanta, that the city attorney and assistant city at torney be Instructed to at once take up the present city charter and the amend ments to the same which have already been proposed by resolution of the mayor and the general councils of 1910 and till, and that they prepare and make a thor ough revlelon of the present city charter In said revision, leaving out all matters that are now obsolete, and to report to. this body at Its meeting on the first Mon day In July a thoroughly revised ebsrter for the city of Atlanta, to be submitted to the session of the general assembly of Georgia to meet on the fourth Wed nesday of this month. The said attorneys are directed to em body In this revised charter the proposed amendments already recommended by the mayor and council by resolution to change our tax assessment laws, with all amend ments to the tame. Be It further resolved. That said at torneys In such revision provide for a legislative department of said city, which shall be vested In a mayor, board of al dermen end board of councllmen. The mayor and board of councilman shall be styled the "Mayor and Counoll," and the mayor and board of councilman meeting with the hoard of aldermen, or acting and meeting on separata days, but on any matter requiring the concurrence of separate action of both the board of councilman and board of aldermen, shall be elyled the "Mayor and General Coun- cil." The said board of aldermen and coun. ellmen shall meet and act as now required under the present charter and ordinances of the city, . . Be It further resolved, by the author ity aforesaid.

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.
