Doctors are not Infallible and there are
many Instances where they have decided
a case was hopeless and then the patients
astonished everyone by getting well and
tha sole cause of their cure was Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. A case la
point Is that of James Lettuce of Cans*
Joharie, N. Y., who writes:
"Soa« yssrsWo I was attacked with pains
In my back and sl4s that war* ftarful In tha
tatraa*. I could not control my kldasyt at

Dr. W- H. Morse, the famous physl-

of this great medicine:
"I hava known It to car* chronic Intaa-
aatlon of tha kldnays, whsrs th* attending

No form of kidney, liver, bladder or
blood disease, or the distressing sickness-
es so common to women, can long with-
stand the great curative power of this
famous specific. Its record of cures has
made it famous in medical circles every-
where.

GUESSING CONTEST HUST GO.
According to 'inv a lottery i*
not allowed to use the United
States mails, yet certain news-
papers ure openly violating the
spirit of that law, if not the letterf
Reference is made to the guessing
contents which have been started
from time to time to catch the
loose change of those who can be
induced to invest in a game of
chance.
There is no difference whatever
in principle between the guessing
contest and the ordinary lottery
In fact, the open lottery and the
wheel of fortune have some ad-
vantage over the guessing contest,
for in the former you know what
proportion your ticket bears to
the total number sold, but in this
contest the one who guesses does
not know whether he competes
with a thousand or a million.
The Commoner will bring the
matter to the attention of the
post office department, and fail-
ing to secure a ruling against the
guessing contest will urge con-
gressional action* Other news-
papers are asked to interest them-
selves and to appeal first to the
postmaster general and, if neces-
sary, to their senators and con-
gressmen.
The guessing contest must go.—
Wm. J. Bryan's Commoner.

To the Baptists of Collin Coun-
ty—Dear Brethren:—Peimit me
to take this method of saying
some thiugs to you, as the recent
rains have made it impossible for
me to be ut many places that 1
might have been and see mauy
people whom I might have seen,
iiad the weather been f..vorable.
Last month 1 was scarcely able to
do more than move and make ar-
rangement!? for continued work,
yet I wa* permitted to do some
work at fcrisco and Lebanon. At
Lebanon the church was pastor-
less and a small balance of $(54
due the retiring pastor, which the
brethren paid while 1 was thore
and in addition ti this tiicy raised
for state missions.
Feeling that the State Board
should have the right-of-way up
to the convention I went to Allen
on the fourth Sunday to assist
pastor Roten in his work for
state missions in connection with
my other work. We succeeded
in making u nice collection there
on Sunday at 11a. m-$53 were
given.
1 have just returned from tho
great Waco convention. Alto-
gether, I regard it as the greatest
convention ever held in Texas,
and atn now unxiously watching
the east for a breukmg loose of
the clouds that I may goto Dallas
for the gospel wagon which we
purchased some weeks ago, till it
with books and religious literature
and come to see you.
Please bear in mind that my
headquarters will bo at McKinney
and I earnestly ask that you write
me concerning the noeds of the
work in your location, We will
also be pleased to have the breth-
ren and sisters call when conven-
ient.
I earnestly crave your prayers,
sympathy and cooperation in the
work. Fraternally,
