1t used to be considered that only
urinary troubles were to be traced to
Kidneys, but now modern science
proves that nearly all constitutional
diseases have their beginning in the
disorder OF these useful organs.
What more natural?
The kidneys filter and purify the
blood.
Your other organs may need care,
but your kidneys most, because they
do most.
If you are sick, begin doctoring your
kidneys, because as soon as they are
we'll they will help all the other organs
to health.
The immediate sy symptoms and first
proofs OF weak kidneys and pain or
dull ache in the back, rheumatism,
d zziness, headache, nerve mess, heart
trouble, pain in the limbs, bloating,
salIoW complexion, puffy or dark Cir
Giles under the eyes, bladder irritation,
suppression of urine, obliged to pass
water often day and night, worn out,
tired feeling, lack of ambition.
IL your water, when allowed to re.
main undisturbed in a glass or bottle
for twenty four hours, forms q sedi.
ment or settling, or has a cloudy ap
pearance, it is evidence that your kid

tention.
Swamp Root ia the great medical
triumph of the 195h century; discov-
cred after years Of untiring efforts
and research by the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, Dr.. KiImer.

4 Shooting Scrape.

Monday night. between the hours

trouble grew out of talking about
the girls There was n knife play
near the church entrance before
services and after the close Clark
and John Doris waited upon their
grrls home and then with Art
Neacham and George Doris went
20 Taylor's restaurant To settle mat
tcrs. The outcome was that Tay-
Tor stepped into IN adjoining room,
picked up II shot gun. aimed at the
Doris boys and pulled the trigger.
At the critical nom mt Taylor's
brother grabbed hold of his arm
and diverted the charge and it took
effect in the ileshy par; of Clark S
thigh. making an ugly hole and
narrowly escaped shnttcring the
bone. 1t was also narrow escape
for all the boys who were hunting

will recover without serious results.
Since the shooting Clark has suf.
fercd much pain and has had 4
high fever and, consequently, has
been kept under the influence o.
