ILLS OF AGE
Are Usually Due TO Some De-
rangement of the
KIDN EYS,
Which Can be Remedie by the Use of
Or. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills

In the evening of lfe-after the
battles are fought-why shouldn't the
old folks enjoy in comfort their we'll.
earned Iest1
1t is usually the kidneys which first
get out of order, and cause backaches,
headaches and urinary troubles. As
filters OF the blood the kidneys work
hard TO remove from the body the last
trace of poisonous uric acid, but they
do get tired and cause pain in the
back, and unless attended to will leave
foul poisons in the blood which will
cause the most painful and fatal dis
eases.
DR.. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills strike
at the root OF trouble by making the
kidneys strong, healthy and vigorous.
They cure Bright's disease, dropsy,
diabetes and all diseases of the kidneys,
liver aud bladder, as well as chronic
constipation. They have won the adj
miration of old people in particular, be-
cause they make il possible for them TO
enjoy in old age the comfort and rest
they have so we'll earned.
Mr.. J. ID. Brightman, Ledyard, ~ Y,
writes L am a blacksmith, aud have
had kidney disease in its worst form.
At times l could not straighten up. and
for five years was never free from back
ache and terrible pains. Mr.. Alexander
Thomas recommended DIR. A. W. Chases
Kidney Liver Pills so highly that 1 tried
them, and ain now entirely free from

their soldiers and sailors since the war

records thus put before them have in
nearly all cases been obtained at "a

of the majority OF lighting men. But
II is nevertheless true that the war

cases they exposed themselves con

gives an account OF the work OF the
war correspondents in the Cuban and
Porto Rican campaigns that throws
more light on the subject than the
people Of the United States have had
for years. The article is not written,
apparently, for the purpose OF exalt-
ing the men Of the press, but to des-
erioe one interesting coneomitant Of

correspondents the people at home
would know little Of the achievements
at the front IL is the inspiring stor-

the coldly brief official reports that
stir the patriotic fervor OF the nation

interest. II may be said without ex-
aggeration that whatever success in
war depends upon the masses OF peo.
pie at home is made possible through
the pen Of the men at the front with
glasses and camera and obseryant eye.
These come in for a share OF the glory
