Few Days Brew
Of Deadly
Uric Acid.

In few days you brew enough
uric acid In your own body to pro-
duce death.
Your kidneys are your only saliva
ton.
Because when they are well, they
filter out this deadly poison.
so, when your kidneys are sick,
you can understand how quickly
your entire body is affected, and how
every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
They are all being slowly poisoned.
Uric acid poison irrftates the
nerves. and causes rheumatic pains
in joints, muscles and limbs, headr
ache, backache, stomach and live
trouble, shortness Of breath, heart
trouble, dizziness, nervousness, irri-
liability, lassitute, loss of ambition,
weakness and wasting away.
Red brick dust and similar sedi-
ments III the urine are also caused
by various salts of uric acid.
The cure for these trouble is DR..
kilmer's swamp Root, the great
kidney remedy.
ltinstantly relieves the congested,
overworked kidneys, and gradually
brings them back to health.
Healthy kidneys keep down the
excess Of uric acid, and you soon feel
the benefit in new health and
strength.
Swamp-Root should at once be
taken upon the least sign of ILL
health. 1t will make you well and
is for sale the world over in bottles Of
two sizes and two prices, fifty cents
and one dollar,
Swamp-Root is used in the leading
hospitals; recommended by skillful
physicians in their private practice !;
Is taken by doctors themselves hwo
have kidney ailments, because they
recognize in 1t the greatest and most
successful remedy for kidney and
bladder troubles.
To prove it's wonderful efficacy,
send your name and address to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. V,
mentioning this paper, when you
will receive, free of all charges, a
sample bottle of Swamp-Root and a
valuable book, by mail, prepaid.
This book contains many of the
thousands upon thousands of testi-
monial letters received from men
and women cured.

HAVANA, Dec. 22.-The battleship
Texas left here for Washington, having
on board 1oi bodies of tine Maino vic.
tins, which few days after the blow.
ing up Of the battleship were buried in
the cemetery here. The bodies, on be.
ing exhumed, were nowly coffined and
placed in the fnortuary chapel Of the
cemetery until the work was com.
pleted. The l6l coffins were placed on
the Texas about 6 O'Clock Thursday
morning and about 10 o'clock the Texas
left. .f
All the remains were thoroughly dis.
infected. A difference was found be.
tween the number OF cotfins entered on
Chaplain Chidwick's list, which was
i54, and the actual number Of collins
exhumed. Search was made through
all the 80 graves in which the cofiins
were buried, but the missing three were
not found. Father Chidwick said the
difference could be explained by a cleri.
cal error at the time OF interring.
1t was also quite possible that after
ordering portions Of two different
bodies to be placed in different coffins,
they had carelessly been put into one
coffin. 1t was also impossible foI
Father Chadwick to superintend the
actual placing Of all the coiflns in the
graves owing to the haste necessitated
by the decomposition of the bodies. He
adds that the list gives two bodies un.
accounted for.

CAUSE OF DEAFNESS.
The Most Common Cause Only Recotly
Discovered,


1t has been stated on good medical
authority that nine-tenths of cases
of deafness are caused from catarrh
or from sore throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the
ear from the throat is lined with a
sort of velvety structure called
mucous membrane. This membrane
| is simply q continuation of the nue.
Gus membrane lining the throat.
| When disease of any sort attacks
| it Is very liable to extend into the
The history of nearly all cases of
deafness is like this: n cold is con-
tracted and neglected, other colds
are taken, the throat becomes sore
and infiamed, which is aggravated
by particles of dust and germs from
the air. This condition causes the
disease to spread into the tube that
leads to the ear.
1t seems little far fetched to say
that most cases of deafness are
caused from catarrh, but it is GER
tainly true, end any one who has
had a severe catarrhal cold must
have noticed how the hearing was
affected while the cold lasted.
With catarrh sufferers the impair
ment of hearing becomes chronic
and grows worse the longer the ca
tarrh is neglected..
You can cure catarrh and deafness
by the regular use of an excellent
new preparation, Stuart's Catarrh
tablets, composed of antiseptic reme-
dies which act both on the mucous
membranes but principally and most
efiectually on the. blood, eliminating
the catarrhal poison from the sys-
tenn.
People whose hearing is defective
may think it little remarkable that
q simple and harmless tablet would
very often remove. all traces of deaf
ness, but when it is remembered that
catarrh causes the deafness and that
the catarrh is easily cured by the
regular use of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets there is no mystery about 1t.
If you are subject to nasal catarrh
or catarrh of throat, bronchial tubes
or catarrh of stomach or liver, the
safest and most effective treatment
is the new catarrh specific, Stuart's
Catarrh Tables, sold by all druggists
at Roc for full sized package.
