TRAIN VIBRATION
CAUSES ILLNESS
■TORY OF A RAILROADER GIVEN
IN ILLUSTRATION—TEST OF
••PLANT JIM E' AND THE
RESULT.
It has. according to one authority
long been a matter of record that
trainmen and others who live almost
constantly aboard moving care are
sufferers from kidney trouble. The
continuous motion is assigned as the
cause k having an Injurious effect
upon these vital or guns. Therefore
the broken rail and the head and rear
end collisions are not the only perils
of the railroad man's life.
Mr. J. W. Giddings a well known
trainman who makes his Houston
home at the Woods hotel and who
has been with the Southern Pacific
tor eighteen years fourteen years of
the time as a trainman said:
** 'Plant Juice' Is doing wonders
me. I have been in bad health for
some time had to give up running a
train'on account of my health. Stom-
ach waa bad and my kidneys gave me
the most trouble. My rest was broken
and sound sleep was out of the ques-
tion sometimes having to get up every
ten or fifteen minutes. Those who
have suffered this way will understand
and those who have not can't realise
what life Is to one so afflicted. Today
I came In off the passenger run went
to the hotel took a bath and ate a
good meal. Had been using the
'Plant Juice* for four days. Took a
dose after eating and went to bed;
slept six hours sound and when I
awoke I could not believe it was pos-
sible I had slept that long. I don't
like to have my name in the paper or
In any way attract any attention. But
I consider this a duty I owe to every-
one who suffers with stomach or kid-
ney trouble. The 'Plant Juice* Is
surely doing a great work for me.”
Many who suffer with kidney
trouble wait for pains across the back
to tell them to try and do something.
One should begin before; such symp-
toms as puffing under the eyes fall-
ing eyesight stiffening of joints crisp-
ness of hair are early symptoms of
uric poison. “Plant Juice” Is the best
tonic know'n for reconstructing dis-
eased kidney tissue.
People who are half sick dyspeptic
nervous depressed in spirits lacking
in vitality dull morbid timid have
pains in the back and hips headaches
cold feet dizzy spells spots before the
eyes discolored skins blotches
pimples poor circulation; derange-
ment of liver and blood as well as of
stomach and kidneys. Immediate re-
lief and permaqent cure may be found
in "Plant Jui«e." Call at Fischer's
Drug Store and let the “Plant Juice"
man tell you about it.

PORTRAIT OF PORFIRIO
DIAZ BACK IN PLACE
Occupies Same Spate on Internal ton-
al Club'* Wall* Near New Paint-
ing of Madero.
Reframed and occupying the same
apace on the walls of the Internation-
al club parlors the full length por-
trait in oil of former President Diaz
which was stolen Friday night and
returned Monday morning today
again was placed on exhibition. Ad-
joining the Diaz portrait and replac-
ing the photograph of President Ma-
dero which was mutilated and de-
stroyed at the time of the theft ot
the Diaz painting now Is hanging an
oil painting of President Madero the
gift to the club of B. Melendez Redo
a Mexican stockman who has been a
resident of San Antonio for several
years.
The Madero painting is slightly
larger than the portrait which was
destroyed Friday night and Is the
work of Estln Arnaud a French
painter of note who ha* contributed
many portraits for exhibitions in
America. The painting was executed
under commission of Sr. Recto short-
ly after the accession of President
Madero as executive of the Mexican
republic. It represents the present
ruler in a strikingly effective light ar-
rangement. giving full prominence to
the features of the man who has oc-
cupied the public eye of Mexico since
the departure of former President
Diaz.
Several arrangements have been
made for the protection of the Ma-
dero painting though it is the belief
of Secretary Mills that no further
depredations of nature similar to
those of Friday night again will be
attempted. The meeting of the board
of directors of the club which was
called for today is expected to be
postponed because of the activity of
members engaged in obtaining sub-
scriptions for the English railroad
syndicate bonus.
