Accord ing to tho report of State Treasurer George, published yesterday, Uiere. aro outstanding warrants amounting to about $000,000. This Is caused by the In creased appropriations of the last legis lature and may be sufficient Inducement to the State Board of Assessment to call Into uso tho Sheldon law, passed several years ago, providing that a one-mill levy may be made for the purpose of paying off outstanding warrants.

One Is for the heart and the other is an Iron tonic. Yet If the case Is chronic tho books admit the out come will be failure. Then why give them? necauso there Is nothing In the pharmacopeia to counter act degeneration In the kidneys which Is tho real trouble and by holding up the heart and giving a tonic tho patient muy laxt a little longer. Hut la It not clear that If an nnrant has been worked out that counteracts Renal I degeneration and thus prevents the I escape of albumen that there la hope? That Is the motive of Fulton's Itenal Compound, a new rrauit not reucneil by the pharmacopeia. That It gets this re sult can be proven by chemists with a little llcrlo and Clrrlc acid. We know of no chronic cases recovering under Digitalis and Uoaham'a Mixture without Fulton's Renal Compound, but thousands are getting results under the Itenal Compound without DlgltnlU or Baaham's Mixture. But they can be con tlriuod If necessary. There ia no conflict. If you have Brlght's Disease you owe it to younwir and family to try Fulton'a Renal Compound before giving up.
