In the six day bicycle races the pace
tells terribly at the end. Man after
man falls out exhausted. The victor
wabbles YEARLY over the line. In the
business race it's the same. Man after
man drops out exhausted. The success
full man is often a dyspeptic, unable to
enjoy success. When the stomach is
diseased there is not enough nutrition
assimilated to sustain the body and re-
pair the daily waste of tissues. The
result is weakness, tending to collapse.

Therefore, Calcura Solvent, the full name
of this greatest medical discovery of the
age, exactly defines what the medicine
does and how it does it. 1t goes to the
cause of disease, removes it, and the cure is
lasting. At the same time it tones up the
whole system, regulates the bowels, puri-
fes and enriches the blood, and strengthens
the nerves. All this is necessary, for
serious disease of one great vital organ al
ways involves others. Calcura Solvent was
discovered in 1898 by that veteran ply
stefan and surgeon, DIR. David Kennedy. 1t
has cured thousands. Kidney disease af-

Over the Land.

Why should an article in popular de-
mand be called Calcura, when the word is
so hard to remember2 This question is
often asked. Reflect moment. Calcura
is the word used by doctors to designate
stones in the Kidneys and Bladder, calculi
being the latin word for stones. The first
syllable of Calcura is, therefore, derived
from and suggestive of Calculi. Cura, of
course, suggests cure. There you have it.
Cal-cura, cure for stones in the bladder
or kidneys. How does Cal-cura cureP The
surgeon can cure by the use of the knife
that is, if he doesn't kill. Some remedies
may cure by expelling the stones from the
kidneys or bladder painfully, harshly,
dangerously. Calcura does not do this. 1t
slowly dissolves the foreign matter, so that
