RHEUMATISM
DUE TO KIDNEYS.
Beware of Using Liquid
Kidney Remedies.
Alcohol In Them Will Make
natters Worse.

When the kidneys are healthy they
strain the uric acid from the blood; but
when unhealthy, the acid Is deposited in
minute crystals in the muscles and
causes rheumatic aches.
The close connection between the kid
neys and rheumatism Is never suspected
by thousands who trust to llniments
when 1t is their kidneys alone that need
help.
But don't make the mistake Of trying
to cure rheumatism with alcohol, or
with LIQUID kidney remedies that contain
alcohol. II will only make your rheu-
matism worse. Take a kidney remedy in
tablet form that has no reed of alcohol.
and there will lie no danger of a set
back from the after-effcet;. Dr. Pettin-
gilrs Kidley-Wcgt Tablets will perma.
nently cure your rheumatism ty max
ing your kidneys healthy. The Tablets
restore the h~t7lt'Iv balance Of blood
among the eNc.ttory organs; the over
worked kidneys are allowed to get back
their strength, tue dangerous habit Of
forming "s:cne" and brick-dust deposits
III the urine Is cured, and the many dis
tresSing symptoms OF approaching kid
ney disease removed.
Men and cme who have needed this
warning Of "brlck-dust" have been
saved from the racaing agonics of stone
in the kidreys and from the operating
tatis by Dr.. Pc..ingil!'s Kldney-Wort
Tablets. They stop at once the forma-
ton Of deposits. and the stone" thus
has nothing to add to its growth.
