THE KIDNEYS.

Kidney troubles are undoubtedly
the cause of more deaths than any 9TH
err disease, for the reason that their
is slow and grad ua', and, as
a rule, unaccompanied by warning
symptoms. The Kidney relieves the
sy stem of all poisonous material, and
discharge it through the urine. When
they become diseased the poison re-
mains in the blood, gradually increas-
ing In minute quantities until the sys-
tenn can no longer resist its effects.
The heart becomes affected, action
fails and dropsy appears. The nervous
system is poisoned and commissions are
followed by death.
The liver and kidneys act like drains,
to collect ana carry away waste and
worn out materials from the body. In
the spring the functions of these organs
are imperfectly performed, and the or
gans become clogged by the waste
matters which are thus retained in the
system. That is why you are so weak,
tired and lanquid, wake tired morn
ings, and lack your usual strength, en-
ergy and vim in the spring. That is
why you have weakness and pain in the
side or back, high-colored urine. with
sediments, headache, coated tongue
bad taste in the mouth, thirst, bilious
ness, constipation, cold feet, poor cir
culation, extreme nervousness and
Frustrated feelings.

1t is a sad fact, which many realize,
that the high fees charged by most
physicians are a very serious burden
upon patients, especially when the
cost of having their prescriptions filled
is added. This burden Mr.. Kerr does
away with entirely by charging no fee
whatever. The ONLY charge made und-
er any circumstances is the price

DON'T wORRYI

The latest information comes that
eVen-in Pennsylvania, the colored mill
tia has been gifted that it is not want
ed
It seems that the Grey Invincibles be-
long to the first brigade and went into
camp with the other militia.
They wanted to enlist in body, but
this was not permitted. They were
told they could SO enroll themselves
provided they would consent to go to
one of the frontier posts and hold the
Indians in cheek.
And yet there are people who tell US
about patriotism, when men of our race
are thus Inundated and insultsd.
We think it is time for colored men
to stop surrendering their self-respect
by Offering their services to either
state OF national governments.
When they are wanted, they will be
wanted badly, and will be called for.
For our part, the victories of peace
are even more glorious than war.
Let US lay down the rife for the gov
eminent, and secure money for our
selves.
Industrial and mercantile pursuits
are open to US. Let as buy land and
accumulate money.
When we own q goodly portion OF
this earth and a large proportion OF
what is on top Of it, we shall be among
the first called for both in war and
peace. No officers no fight.
