1T Is VERY SCIENTIFIC.
Preferred to All Others of It's Kinds.
Few OF the Many Points of Excellence
Not to he Found Among Others.

Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, the great
remedy for kidney and urinary all
ments, is scientific preparation. 1t
has been projected after eighteen
years of hard work by an experienced
chemist. kid-ne-oi act gently,
thoroughly, quickly and directly on
the kidneys, nerves and urinary or
gans. They build up the system and
restore it's normal parts to their nat
ural condition.
Mrs. George Cough, 632 Grace
street, Eigin. ILL.,. speaks in favor OF
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids as follows: II
have had severe pain in my back for
a long time previous to taking Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids, but after taking
them relief came suddenly and 1 can
recommend Kid-ne-oids to anyone
suffering from a weak back, which is
caused by disordered kidne VS."
When the kidneys are sluggish and
overworked, backache is the first in
dication that something is wrong.
Do not let slight backache or pain
in the region of the kidneys go I'M
needed. A few doses of Morrow 8
Kid-ne- ODDS will remove the backache
in a very short time, and a course of
treatment with Kid ne-oids for about
two weeks is usually sufficient to
cure bad case of kidney complaint.
Kid-ne-oids are not pills, but yellow
tablets, which is a scientific form of
preparing medicine. They cure all
kidney ailments. They are put up in
wooden boxes, which contain enough
for about two weeks treatment and
sell at soc at all drug stores.

A telegram was received by Mr.. T. L.
Rowell yesterday, Informing him Of the
death Of his cousin, Mr.. Walter H.
Smaw, in Brooklyn, n. Y. Mr.. Smaw
was a former resident of Wilmington.
but for the past twenty years he has
lived in Brooklyn and at the time of
his death was a conductor on an ele-
waited railroad.
The death of Mr.. Smaw was very
sudden, as a. close friend of his in this
city received a long letter from him on
Thursday afternoon, dated Christmas
day, saying that he was well.
The telegram stated that the remains
would be brought to Wilmington, ac-
companied by his wife and his sister,
Mrs. Constantine, of New York. No
other definite news a been received
and the arrangements for the funeral
will probably be made today.
While in Wilmington Mr.. Smaw was
employed by The j. c. Stevenson Com
pany, and has many relatives and
friends in the city, who will learn of
his death with sadness.
