WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
NEED Stf AMP-ROOT
Thousands upon thousands of wom
en have kidney anu bladder trouble
and never suspect it.
Women's complaints i?ften prove to
be nothing else but kidney trouble, or
the result of kidney or bladder dis
ease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss
of ambition, nervousness, are often
times symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physician's
prescription, obtained at any drug
store, may be just the remedy need
ed to overcome such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle
immediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.
Y., for a sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention the Rich
mond Presbyterian of the South.

NEW YORK. N. Y.? Most people foolishly seem
to think they aro going to got renewed health
and strength from some stimulating med
icine. socret nostrum or naracotic drug, said
Dr. E. Suuer. a Boston Pbysiclon wlio has
studied widely both in this country and Great
European Medical institutions when, as a
milter of fact, real aud true strength can only
come from the food you eat. Hut people often
fail to got the strength out of their food because
they haven't enough Iron in their blood to
euableitto change food into living matter.
From their weakened, nervous condition they
know something is wrong but they can't tell
vrhai so they generally commence doctoring
for stomach, liver or kidney trouble or symp
toms of some otiier ailment caused by lack of
iron IS the blood. 'Iliis thing may go on for
years, while the patient suffers untold agony.
If you are not strong or well, you owe it to
yourself to make the following test: See how
long you can work or how far you can walk
without becoming tired. Next, take two Ave
jrrain tablets of ordinary nuxatcd Iron three
times per day after nn als for two weeks. Then
test your strength again find see far yourself
how much you have gamed. 1 have sceu

ailing all the while, rtoublo tliclr strength and

iron in the proper form. And t'.iis after they
had in some cases been doctoring for months
without obtaining nny benefit. Hut don't take
the old forms of reduced iron, iron aeot-te or
tincture of iron simply tosavo a few cents. Yon

NOTE ? Xuxated Iron recommended aboto by
Dr. E. Saner, is ono of the newer organic iron
compounds. Unlike the older inorganic Iron
products it Is easily assimilated, dues not

upset the stomach: on the contrary, it Is
a most potent remedy. In nearly all forms
of Indigestion, as well ns for nervous,

Rev. W. H. White was dismissed
to the Presbytery of East Alabama,
and Rev. J. S. Jennings to the Pres
bytery of Suwanee.
The Home Missions Committee was
authorized to employ a Presbyterial
evangelist and Sunday-school expert
at a salary of $2,000 and expenses.
It is gratifying to be able to add that
the larger part of the salary for tbe
current year has already been pro
vided by a few consecrated persons
who have hearts interested in the Mas
ter's work.'
Meetings in the interest of Home
and Foreign Missions were held, at
which these causes were presented in
a manner to hold the attention and
arouse the interest of presbyters and
visitors alike.
The overture sent down by the Gen
eral Assembly to amend the Rules 01
Discipline, chapter 12, section 2, was
rejected.
The Stated Clerk was directed to
prepare and present at tbe next stated
meeting of Presbytery, an overture to
the General Assembly to send down
to the Presbyteries the question,
"Shall the present method of paying
the expenses of commissioners to the
General Assembly be continued, or
should the former plan be returned
to, of each Presbytery's paying the
expenses of its commissioners?"
The Presbyterial sermon was
preached by Rev. C. M. Boyd from
the text, "Who knoweth the error of
his ways? Cleanse Thou me from
secret faults."
Rev. D. W. Holllngsworth was ap
pointed to preach at the next stated
meeting on "The Duty of Our Church
in Regard to Home Missions."
The next stated meeting will be held
at Gurdo, Ala., 7:30 P. M. Tuesday,
April 15, 1918.
Both business sessions and religious
services were largely attended, ana
the good people of the church ana
the vicinity did all in their power to
contribute to the comfort and enjoy
ment of members and visitors. That
they succeeded admirably was the
judgment of all.
Presbytery adjourned to meet, on
the call of the Moderator, at such
time and place as he may designate.
