DO YOU KNOW
The symptoms of kidney Disorders


| If YOU don't we will give you some
of them. There are at least two hum
| dred symptoms. The reason there
are so many is because one trouble
! leads to something else and so on.
Backache or kidney backache, as
we call it, because it is that portion
of the back in the exact locality of
the kidnevs; severe headache in the
back of the head; sharp. stinging pain
in the groin or lower extremity of the
abdomen; frequent urination, highly
cOlored and strong odor or with
sediment in the urine; nervousness or
stiffness after sitting or lying in bed.
Here are a few, but bloating of the
body, limbs or under the eyes is one
where the disease assumes very bad
stage. Many people perfectly ignore
these symptoms and when told that
they mean serious trouble. only
laugh, but later, find the truth was
in it.
Harry Mahr, at 613 Warren street,
Davenport, and employed as candy
maker for Frank Mahr, 10 West Sec
ond street, Davenport, says a few
words on his using Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids, Il suffered for several months
with what L became convinced was
kidney complaint. l felt badly all
the time, was more tired when | got
up in the morning than when l went
to bed. | had severe and sharp
pain in my back and my appetite was
poor.
Il read about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
and thought would try them, and l
am glad | did, because they have
cured me. The pain in my back is
all gone, and L am feeling well and
have been ever since taking the Kid
ne-oids. Where did l get Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids? Why, at Frank Nadler
& Co.'S. drug store, who have a large
stock.
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are yellow
tablets (not pills) and cure all kidney
disorders, lame back, sleeplessness,
nervousness, loss of vitality, etc.
Morrow's Liver-Lax are very small
red granules and will cure constipa-
tion., These remedies are both put
up in wooden boxes, and are for sale

SPAIN HAS A KICK COMING.
Objects to Alleged Action of the United
States in the Philippines.


Madrid, Oct. 1.-The cabinet has de-
oided to authorize General Rios to grant
reforms in the Visayas islands on the
lines demanded by the inhabitants and
to concentrate his forces at Mindanao,
as there are only 45O men garrisoning
the Visayas. The Spanish ministers also
decided to protest to the government at
Washington against the refusal of the
Americans to permit Spanish troops to
be sent to the Visayas while, it is
claimed, the insurgents are constantly
receiving arms and cannon with which
to attack other islands (which the
Americans permit, without even pre-
tending to Intervene"
The Spanish cabinet, it is added, will
acquaint its Paris commissioners with
these contentious, in order that they
may be used in the peace negotiations.
Finally, it is announced, the govern
ment here would inform the government
at Washington that it has decided to
send reinforcements to the Visayas, and
it has ordered seven batteries of artil-
lery in Andalusia to set ready to start
for the Philippine islands in twenty
four hours. In addition TO this the cab
met will repeat its protests against the
insurgents continuing to hold Spanish
prisoners in the Philippine islands.

Considered Cuban Occupation.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The cabinet
meeting yesterday was devoted largely
to matters of detail in connection with
the formation of the army which is to
be sent to Cuba. Reports We're read
to the effect that by Oct. 10 the danger
from yellow fever will have passed and
it is understood that the movement of
the troops viii be begun about that
time. Secretary Hay attended the cab
met meeting for the first time and is
said to have made a very favorable i'm
preston on his colleagues. There was
also some consideration of the subject
OF mastering out a comparatively large
number of general officers of the volun-
teer army to meet the mastering out of
the regiments already ordered.
