ARE YOU SUBJECT TO
B ACk AC H E :?
esekache is Usually Symptom or
Manifestation Of Some Real
Disease or Weakness.
Diseases Most Commonly Causing
eackache Are Kidney Troubles,
Liver Complaints and Special
Forms of Rheumatism.

Backache should he cured, not only
because of the discomfort attending it
but on account of the more or less ser
ious condition that lies behind it.
There is one remedy that is real
cure for backache. 1t appears to make
very little difference what the cause,
for the backache goes away after tax
ing DR.. Fenner's Kidney and Backache
Cure So say those who know.
"Had rheumatism in my back and
hips. Scarcely able to walk and pain
% severe at night could not sleep.
Took bottles of DR.. Fenner's Kidney
and Backache Cure and / now feel like
q new man." w. II. Muman,' Pinkerton,
Va.
Troubled for ten years with dun,
heavy, backache and at times could not
walk, 9 bottles of DR.. Fenner's Kidney
and Backache Cure completely cured
me-" John Tunnihoff, So. Byron, Mich.
Eight months in bed, heavy back
ache, pain and soreness across kidneys,
also rheumatism. Other remedies
failed. DIR. Fenner's Kidney and Back
ache Cure cured me completely. II.
Waters, Hamlet. n. T.
For years i had backache. severe
pains across kidneys and scalding ur-
ine. I could not get out of bed without
help. The use of DR.. Fenner's Kidney

great. After taking bottles of DR..
F,enneEs Kidney and Backache Cure
have completely recovered and have
not been troubled with it since" Geo.
Ospenlister. Sand Hill, Mich.
Afflicted with kidney disease em-
ployed the most experienced doctors
but obtained no permanent relief and
began to think there was little hope
for me. began the use of DR.. Fenner's
Kidney and Backache Cure, my diges-
ton improved, the soreness left my
sides and back, and I took on healthy
muscle and flesh. Two bottles COM
pletely cured me-" T. H. Johnson,
Busti, N. Y.
Who's opinion should be entitled to
as much consideration as that OF one
who speaks from personal experience?
What q remedy has done for others
It Is reasonable to expect 1t will do
for anyone like afflicted.
DR.. Fenner's Kidney and Backache
Cure is for sale at drug stores in two
sizes-50-c and dollar bottles. II
your druggist is out Of 1t he will get
1t for you If you ask him to. Accept
no substitute. There is no medicine
like 1t" or lust as good" for backache
and kidney trouble-none that can take
its place and do Its work. Get the
genuine medicine and you will find Ii
q true and satisfactory cure.

GERMANS FEAR TOBACCO TRUST
Prominent Frankfort Paper Asserts
Laws Exclude Tag Premiums.

A recent issue of the Frankfurter
Ze1tung contains the following article:
To the American perils' with which
part OF the German press scares it's
readers belongs also the American to-
bacco trust. 1t is now reported that
an English-American tobacco trust is
being formed which shall mainly oper-
ate in Germany for the purpose Of
Gripping the German tobacco Industry
or to force it to join the trust The
German public shall, in geninue Ameri-
can fashion, through fabulous adyertis
ing and even with presents of prizes
be induced to buy Of the trust firms
After the German tobacco Industry has
been destroyed, then the trust, being
in possession of the American tobacco
production, can dictate prices. The
prizes will consist of all sorts Of OBJ
Jects, from corkscreWs to automobiles.
and the trust is now completing con-
tracts with German manufacturers for
supplies on an immense scale. So far
the trust has only acquired one factory
in Germany, the cigarette factory OF
Jasmatzl, of Dresden, but this has been
greatly enlarged and rebuilt after
American methods. The trust has
been trying to acquire one of the larg-
est German tobacco establishments
but so far without success. Several
other factories have been offered the
trust, as the proprietors seek to avoid
a war of competition
The article further remarks that s11ch
a system of premiums, through the
judicature of the federal suDren1a
court, is excluded.

INSURANCE SWINDLES
GOING ON TEN YEARS
Companies Have Lost Hundreds Of
Thousands of Dollars.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1I-An exposure
Of the methods CT the conspirators in
the recently discovered Italian life in
surance frauds was made today by the
confession of one CT the men concern
ed. The frauds have been in operation
for ten years, during which time the
insurance companies have been de-
frauded by hundreds of thousands of
dollars. In one instance a company
paid out $4,000 on one fraudulent risk.
The head of the conspiracy, Mr. krOteI
says, was BartOlOmeO Cirino, who was
recently arrested and released under
$4,000 bail. Cirino is said to have dis
appeared, and his bond will be ordered
forfeited
The usual plan of operations was to
make an application for insurance in
the name of some person in a practi-
cally dying condition, a healthy substi-
tute being presented for medical exam
inatiOn. In cases where the original
risk fingered too long to satisfy the
conspirators, substitute body was
used on which to collect the amount of
the policy. These bodies are said to
have been furnished by Joseph Tripan,
an Italian undertaken, who is now
awaiting trial in the Tombs. In some
instances false death certificates were
presented, said to have been signed by
Cirino or by two Italian doctors who
are now under heavy bail
SO well organized was the scheme
that there was q regularly appointed
board of directors that used to meet
every week to discuss the payments of
premiums falling due and pass upon
the matter of substitution Of bogus
bodies in the case of risks that did
not die until the payment of premiums
became too heavy
