The Evening Post, referring to the death
Of DR.. Isaac Wise, characterizes him as
"a man who for nearly half century was
of such National prominence in the jewish
reform movement in the United states
that he was commonly called the Jewish
Pope of America" DR.. Wise was native
of Bohemia, who, coming to this country
first settled In Albany, where he became
assistant librarian in the State library
Afterward he moved to Cincinnati, when
was his home until his death, although his
eervices were constantly in demand and ne

unremittingly for his people throughout
the length and breadth OF our common

e Christian alike.

GET AT
THE CAUSE
Of BackacheS and Headaches, and
Remove Ii by Using
DR.. q. w. CHASE'S
kIDNEY-LIVER PILLS.

The error Of the dav in medical treat
ment is the "doctoring" of effects in
stead of getting at the cause. A powder
for headache, a tablet for indigestion,
and plaster for backache. These may
afford slight temporary relief, but next
day the old trouble is back again. Be-
sides, think of the effect of a drug
strong enough to stop headaches almost
Immediately.
Backache is kidney ache. sure in
dication that the kidneys are badly dis.
eased. Backache is natures signal of
alarm to warn people that the kidnevs
are no longer able to perform their duty
of altering the blood. And this means
that the foul impurities which would
otherwise be carried off by the kidneys
remain in the blood, and find their way
to every organ of the body, where they
act as deadly poisons.
DR.. Chase's Kidney Liver Pills are the
worlds greatest kidney cure, because
they act directly on the kidneys and re-
store them to health, strength and vigor.
They remove the cause of headaches,
backache, and an endless chain Of most
fatal and complicated diseases.
DR.. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills are
purely vegetable, and act pleasantly and
naturally. One pill a dose; 25 cents a
box, at all dealers or Dr. A W. Chase

matters which usually occupy such a
