lives saved by a postal card. They got the

Liver, Bladder and Blood Rheumatism, Dys-
pepsia and Chronic Constipation. They
bought large sized bottle of their druggists
and it benefited or cured them (the above is
not an idle statement but the result of careful
investigation).

doubt as to whether you have trouble with
your Kidneys or Bladder, put some of your
urine in glass tumbler and let it stand "a
hours, If it has sediment, or milky, cloudy
appearance, if it is ropy or stringy, pale or
dlscolored, you should lose no time in taking
DIR. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, it
can be had of all druggists at sl a large bottle
or six bottles for s5. It is without question
the surest medicine of the age to put stop to
such dangerous symptoms as pain in the
back, frequent desire to urinate especially
at night, scalding, burning pain in passing
water, inability to hold urine and all the un-
pleasant and dangerous effects produced on
the system by the use of whiskey and beer.

Blowing a Cork Into a Bottle.

Ask some of the company if they can
blow small bit of cork which you have
placed in the mouth of bottle SO that
1t will go into the body OF the bottle.
Lay the bottle on the table upon its
side and place the bit of cork about an
inch or less inside the open end. The
uninitiated will blow until they get red
in the face, and the cork will invariably
come out of the bottle instead Of going
into it. There is simple reason for 1t
too. The direction of the air forced by
the one blowing brings 1t against the
bottom of the bottle. The air congresses
within the bottles walls and must find
an outlet therefore it is turned and fore
ed out at the only vent the bottle has,
necessarily blowing the cork with 1t
But take common lemonade straw,
place the end of it near the cork in the
bottle neck. blow very gently-and the
cork rolls in.
