Constipation, it Neglected,
Causes Serious Illness
Constipation, it neglected, leads
to almost innumerable complica
tions affecting the general health.
Many cases of
typhoid fever,
appendicitis and
other severe dis
eases are trace
able to prolonged
clogging of the
bowels. Regard
t h e effects o f
constipation, C.
E. Ayers, 6 Sabin
St., Montpelier,
Vt., says:
"I was afflicted
with constipation
and biliousness for
years, and at times became so bad I
would become unconscious I have beea
found In that condition many times.
Physicians did not seem to be able to
do me any food I would become
weak and for daye at a time could do
no worn Not long ago I cot a box
of Dr. Miles' laxative Tablets, and
after using them found 5 had never
tried anything that acted in such a
mild and effective manner. I believe
I hare at iaat found the remedy that
suits my case."
Thousands of people are sufferers
from habitual constipation and
while possibly realizing something
of the danger of this condition, yet
neglect too long to employ proper
curative measures until serious ill
ness often results The advice of
all physicians is, “keep your bowels
clean," and it’s good advice.
Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets are
sold by all druggists, at 25 cents a
box containing 25 doses. If not
found satisfactory, your money ia
returned. r

GRAND JURY REPORTS
ONLY 29 INDICTMENTS
Following is the report of I
the grand jury which adjourn
ed last week: ]
To the lion. Dene H. Coleman,
Judge of the Third Judicial j
Circuit.
We, the grand jury of Inde
pendence county, for the spring 1
jterm, 1910, submit this our re
port.
We have examined all crimes,
felonies and misdemeaonrs, of •
which we have knowledge or i
received information,and in all t
cases where the law and evi- ;
dence warranted it we have re- I
turned true bills of indictment. (
We have examined 41 witness- (
,os and have returned into this l
'court 29 true bills of indict- ;
ment. Wre have examined the t
reports of the justices of the
peace and find that all the jus- i
(ices have reported as required (
by law. i
We desire to indorse the pre- ,
sent system of management of i
the county convict camp and
believe that if continued it will
entirelv relieve the countv of
any criticism in handling con
victs.
We have examined the re
ports of tlm various road over
seers for the county and find <
that all have filed reports as
! required by law.
We have visited the poor
farm and find that there are 7
white males and 15 white fe
males and 1 colored female; a
total of 23. All of these who
were questioned reported them
selves well cared for. We re
commend that the sleeping
apartments be kept in a more
sanitary condition. We find the
farm fences and buildings in
good repair. A new well has
been sunk in the front yard but
j no means of getting water from
this well has been provided.
The well is 190 feet deep and
the water Uses more than 150
feet. This should furnish an
|ample supply of water for all
purposes. We recommend an
immediate installation for some
means to get water from this
well.
Wre have examined the court
house and grounds in a body,
and made a close inspection of
same and recommend that all
exposed wood work of the court
house be painted to be better
present'd from the weather.
We find in the attic of the
court house a quanitity of loose
timber and rubbish, in thebase
ment quantities of rubbish,such
.as old barrels, empty boxes,and
wood scattered promiscously
over the whole basement, and
wo emphatically recommend
that a general cleaning up hr
! made, and we would further
call attention tof the custodian
of the building to the several
toilets and require the janitor i
to do his duty, and that the
court yard should be cleared
of unsightly bill boards, boxes :
and other rubbish, and the :
grounds given more attention,
also that he be asked to see
that the matter of so much
drinking in and about the coun
ty property be discontinued, as
it has become a nuisance and
should be abated.
We have examined the coun
ty jail and find that it is in a
very unsanitary condition, and
we recommend an improvement j
|therein, also that new bedding
be placed therein, and a gen
eral clean-up be made of the
|lot and yard, and that the sani
tary conditions be brought up
to a higher plane.
