Doctor's Prescription Failed
The Great Kidney Remedy
Proves Its Merit.
It gives me great pleasure to say a good
word for Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, be?
cause it has cured mc of a severe case of
Kidney Trouble. I had suffered for sonic
five years with this trouble, and more
especially for the first three mouths of
1909.
Physicians prescribed for mc, but with?
out much success, and any relief obtained
v. as only temporary. I had severe pains
in my back, and at no time was I free of
pain. When I stooped down it was with
some difficulty that I could straighten my
body again. I could not lilt any weight
of consequence without great pain. I
would be compelled to arise and give the
bladder relief. A friend of mine advised I
me to take Swamp-Root) whereupon I i
wrote to Dr. Kilmer for a sample bottle, i
which so benefited mc that I was led to ;
believe it would be a great help to inc. '
Accordingly I purchased two bottles of j
Swamp-Root from Mr. A. P. Perry, my
druggist, and the effect has been truly
marvelous.
I feel like a new man, and have every
reason to believe- that I am cured, and
that no other medicine could have accom
dished so much. Now I can raise a heavy i
oad, can bend my back over iny desk ail I
day, and feel none the worse for it. In ;
view of the foregoing facts, I sincerely
trust that this testimonial may reach some
of th(jr,e who are suffering after the man
ncr before described, and thai it may eon- ',
vincc them that the merit of this great
medicine should be given a fair trial in I
their case.

AEROPLANE RUNS AWAY
fi'ovcrnor-Elect Colqult, n Pnnticueer, '
Has Nnrrntv Escape.
Dallas, Tex.. January 10. John J. !
Trisble's biplane ran away with Gov- |
ernor-Elect Colqult. of Texas, early yes- j
terjday afternoon and later smashed Into
a fence when Friable attempted to
land after a short Might. As a net
result of Its misbehavior, the machine j
I? a wreck, and the Governor-elect
and the aviator are be'ns congratu?
lated on escaping- from Injury.
.Mr. Colqult had climbed into the
machine at the request of newspaper i
photographers. To add to the realism 1
of the picture one of the mechanicians \
Marted the motor. Cameras were
trained and all ready when the Gov?
ernor shifted his position and struck
Ids foot asrainst the accelerator. This
released the machine, and for several
hundred yards the machine bounded i
along the track wltn half a dozen men j
holding It to the ground. Finally:
Frlsble, who was being drauped along. !
'succeeded In cutting the string which'
held the throttle open and the motor!
stopped. The Governor-elect seethed i
to enjoy the experience. "1 believe 1 ,
could run one of those things in a lit- ,
tie while." he declared.
Frlsble'S escape from injury, when
the machine later smashed into a
fence, bordered on the miraculous.
After a short cross-country dicht, the ;
Irish-American aviator glided down
for a landing near the grandstand.
A few feel above the ground he en- 1
deavored to shut off his motor, but '
the machinery was slow In respond- ;
tng. Ills machine was pointed dl- I
re'etly toward several fences. The >
first he jumped over, but lost control '
of the planes before he reached the ?
second. Frisble was thrown several
feet and momentarily stunned but was
otherwise uninjured.

Happy Ending To Experience That
Might Have Developed
Fatal Results.
Hayne. X. C.?"I was in a very low
state of health last spring," writes Mrs.
Z. V. Spell, of this place, "and was hot
able to be up and tend to my duties. YVc
consulted our family doctor, and he ad?
vised me to try Cardui, which I did, and
soon began to feel belter. I got able to be
up and help do my housework.
I continued to take your medicine, and
I am now able to do my housework and
to care for my children, and I do not feel
as though I could ever I hank you enough
for the benefits I have received. I shall
heartily recommend Cardui to all simi?
larly afflicted, for I think your medicine
a Godsend to all women."
Cardui is successful because it contains
ingredients that act on the weak womanly
organs. They arc imported especially
from Europe by us, and arc not in general
use norvfor sale at drug stores, except in
the form of Cardui. As a result of the
experience of over SO years, Cardui is now
known as a medicine for women, of real
merit, that can always be depended on.

?OES NOT COMPLY!
WITH SM LAWS
Odd-Fellows Accident Company
Withdraws From Virginia
Business.
As a result of a ruling by the Vir?
ginia Bureau of Insurance to the effect
that Insurance societies, even though
limiting their beneficiaries to mem?
bers of some regular fraternal order,
must hnve Independent lodge, systems,
ritualistic work and representative
forms of government. In order to con?
form to the law, the Brotherhood Ac?
cident Company, of Boston, has with?
drawn from business in Virginia. This
Interests a great number of people,
since tho society has more than 2,000
members In Virginia alone, all of them
Odd-Fellows.
Those who now belong will, ol
course, lose nothing. They may con?
tinue their payments and receive bene?
fits as before. The difference is that
no new meml ers may be solle'ted oi
any additional insurance written in this
State.
Wanted Rvlllence.
As previously .stated In The Times
Dispatch, the bureau began the year
with a demand for compliance with the
law respecting fraternal beneficiary
societies. It sent out notices requiring
each sucii association, when applying
for a renewal of Its annual license, to
furnish evidence that it was a bona
li.le fraternal society, with a lodge
system, with ritualistic work and with
a representative form of government,
it was predicted at the time that more
than one organization would fail t..
secure a renewal of license under this
ruling, which follows the lines laid
down by tho law.
The Brotherhood Accident Company
showed no disposition to quibble or
to evade the statute. Its representa?
tive frankly stated that It had in itself
no ritualistic work or what nilghl
strictly be known as a lodge- system.
Yet it writes business only among
Odd-Fellows In good standing. Com?
missioner Joseph Button had no re?
course but to rule that this qualifi?
cation was Insufficient, and that he
must require Just what the law re?
quires.
.tiny Hnve Stock Company.
Thereupon the company announced
that it would make no effort to se?
cure a renewal of Its license to do
business In Virginia. It was stated,
however, that probably a stock com?
pany would be organized, and that ap?
plication would very likely be mnde
later to do business ns a regular In?
surance i ompariy, In this evont its
npplicath i will be considered on this
basis The company expressed Its en?
tire ? uequlcfcenso with t,lf! ruling of
the department.
Tho oorno offlco of the company is
located In Boston. It began business '
In 1S92. and probably entered Virginia
very soon afterward, for It has been
licensed here for a number of years.
According to Its last annual report.
It had a total Income of $15>n.!)74."2 for
the year, with disbursements of $10-,
7? 3. Ol'.
INDEPENDENTS WIN
Jiitltse Hough, of Circuit Court, Ite
ftiftcx to I'pbold Seiden Patent.
New Vork. January 10.?The so-called
independent automobile manufacturers
won a sweeping victory yesterday in the
I'nited States Circuit Court of Appeals
!n a reversal of the decree of Judge
Hough, In the Circuit Court, wherein
the Seiden patent was upheld.
The higher court's ruling declares
that the defendants "neither legally
nor morally" owed anything to the pat?
entee, and holds that the Improved
Otto engine, used by the defendants In
motor vehicle construction. is the
equivalent of the Seiden engine, but
that Its use Is not an lnfrlngment of
the Seiden patent. Accordingly, Judge
Hough's injunctions against the Ford
Motor Company, Panhard & l^vaszer
and others, restraining them front
using the Otto engine, on the ground
of Infringement must be dismissed by
tiie lower court, to which the causes
were remanded with such instruction.
The Sehlen patent seeks to control
the manufacture of virtually all gaso?
lene automobiles In America. Many of
the manufacturing companies hold
licenses under that patent, but there,
are many others which operated inde?
pendently and in dctlaneo of the pat
