Well-Known Railroader Mr. Gilmer, who was well-known throughout the State, was born near Elverson, Berks county of Scotch- Irish parentage. His father was 'George Gilmer, a thrifty farmer of that place. During the Civil War Mr. Gilmer came to Harrisburg, where he has resided ever since. Starting work here with the Reading Railroad Company he remained with that cor poration for 4 2 years and was con sidered most efficient, refusing pro motion after he became baggage master because of personal timidity in taking higher positions. Since his retirement he has led a quiet life interested in his home and family. Mr. Gilmer was twice married, first 1o to Miss Sarah Bugles, of Lancaster and after her death to Mrs. Anna Greenawalt Boyer, of Lebanon, who died over twenty years ago. H. C.

Kidneys Cause Hysteria Some folks overwork; some over eat; some over drink, and many do all these things and neglect the ex cretory organs. Nervousness ensues. (Constipation sometimes, but most often the delicate function of the kidneys becomes disordered, follow ed soon by congestion. Then head ! ache, neuralgia, rheumatic pain, backache, and lumbago set in. Fre .quent urination sometimes bevond control. The voided liquid being dark of foetid odor, and its passage followed by burning, smarting spasms of pain, even hysteria being ■ often the result unless the greatest of all kidney medicines, is taken to regulate, allay and neu tralize the irritation of the organs.
