JOHN MORROK'S DISCOVERY GIVES
HEALTH TO DIABETES PATIENTS.
One OF the Worst Diseases Known to
Man Is Overcome by Modern
Spianea

When the common symptoms of kid
ney troubles are neglected the careless
sufferer is in great danger of contract
ing diabetes or Bright's disease. two or
the most terrible affection that have
been imposed on mankind The rem
edy for the earliest stages, as well as
the worst cases, one that will restore
the kidneys to sound health, is Nor
rows Kidneoids. These yellow tablets
should be taken when the back aches.
or when headaches, chillness, loss OF
energy or pain IN urinating show that
the kidneys are out OF order
Diabetes. that disease which is almost
as deadly as Bright's disease, is indi-
Gated by failure of strength and emac-
iation. The mouth is pasty, skin dry
and hard, the bowels are constipated,
vomiting Is frequent. the vision becomes
dim. memory and intellect fail, and the
temper becomes irritable
A recent case Of the cure of this aw-
full disease by Morrow's Kidneoids is
that of Mr. c. E. Clippinger, we'll
known confectioner of SO South Lime
stone street, Springfield. Ohio. He
writes:
II have been a constant sufferer from
kidney disease for the past year. Very
often upon arising in the morning the
pain was so severe that could scarcely
get about at all I consulted with diff
that I was troubled with diabetes, and
treated me for same, but failed to de-
rive any benefit from their medicine
was finally persuaded to give MOrrOwS
Kidneoids a trial, and to my great sur
prise. after I had taken but one box,
the pain LEFT me and have experienced
no trouble since then. I feel entirely
well, and am enjoying better health in
every way than for several years"
The fame of Morrow's Kidneoids has
created a demand for them everywhere
and they are now sold by all dealers at
so cents a box, six boxes for 81. 80. If
for any reason the dealer cannot sup
ply you. they will be sent postpaid on
receipt of the price by the Herb Medi7
cine Co., Springfield, Ohio.

CUBA IS HEALTHY.
Physicians Conclude That the Coast
of Florida is Worse Than the
Island.

New York. May PA meeting Of Cuban
Physicians was held at the Red Cross hos
pital today to discuss the effect of eli
matte diseases in Cuba
DR.. MunOZ. recently chief of the civil
hospital in Havana, was made chairman.
and Dr.. SolOsso. until recently surgeon in
the Spanish army, secretary. The points
determined were that men from the Unit
ed States suffer from diseases in Cuba
more than men from southern countries.
OF the Spanish soldiers who have gone to
Cuba % per cent have suffered from ma
laria and % per cent from yellow fever.
Deaths have occurred in about p per cent
of the cases The seriousness of the
diseases in Cuba has depended on the sea-
sons and location. Malaria has prevailed
during the entire year and yellow fever
only during the months of August. Sep
TENDER, October and November. Yellow
fever prevails mostly on the coast and in
the cities; at a distance of eight to ten
miles from the coast and in the mountains
the island is healthy during the entire
year
The physicians came to the conclusion
from their observa lions that diseases do
not spread rapidly nor are they as Sc
we're as on the southern coast of Florida

WATER SOAKED TRACKS.
Continuous Rains Have Caused Much
Trouble to Kansas Roads.

The heavy rains, which have been
universal over the Santa Fe lines in
Kansas, have caused a great deal of
trouble. The rains have been contin-
uous for about three weeks and the
roadbeds have become soaked. On the
main line between Emporia and Flor
ence, where the double track is being
laid, the contractors have been unable
to do any work to amount to anything
for some time The men are camped
alongside the track, waiting for the
good weather, before they can continue
the grading.
On the Rock Island tracks, near
Rushville, used by the Santa Fe from
Atchison to St. Joe, there is six inches
of water on the track, and the trains
have to run with great caution, as there
is no sight of the track for several hun
dred yards.
On the Arkansas City branch. from
Newton to Arkansas City, there has
been a great deal of water and the road
bed Is feeling the effects of it Between
Topeka and Kansas City the new Gull
verts and bridges have been thorough
ly tested and have proven to be capable
of carrying off the result of the heavy
rains
