Alcohol.

If every time you catch cold YOU feel

kidneys are your weak spot.
And every time your kidneys are thus

congestion, for that is all Brights dis
ease is.

backaches go unattended to another
day. Cure that persistent aching.
Stop the headaches and dizzy spells and
constipation. II your kidney trouble
has gone SO far as to cause these symp-
toms. Other worse symptoms will soon
appear if you shut your eyes to your
real condition.
If you have a touch Of kidney dis
ease. face it and cure 1t. The best
remedy in the world, and the one that
is accomplishing wonderful results In
hundreds of hospitals and convalescent
homes, is DR.. Pettingill's Kidney Wort
Tablets.
Athol, Feb. rs, 1908.
Wells & Richardson Co.:
Dear Sirs-I read of your Kidney
Wort Tablets and thought l would
try them. l never had taken any spec
ial kidney medicine, but l thought I
had some trouble, as had some bloat-
ing of my hands and limbs, and was
so tired in the morning and could not
hold my water and had to keep going
every little while. especially If l was on
my feet lot, which is necessary i'm
housework. The first bottle / took
helped me so much that l have taken
seven or eight. 1t stopped that SWELL
ing and that tired feeling and did not
have to make water every few min
utes. l have not taken any now for
four or five weeks. Have advised my
daughter to try your Kidney Wort
Tablets, as she has had trouble with
her kidneys. Yours truly,
MRS. ]. c. RICHARDSON.

Don't be afraid of the words kidney
disease. Taken in time, it is very
easily cured. All kidney disorders are
not equally dangerous. The peril is In
allowing one of the milder forms to
grow into a more dangerous sort.
Stone in the bladder or kidneys, maui
sea, constipation, depression of spirits.
backaches, sideaches. lumbago. head
aches, tired feelings, nervousness, gen.
eral weakness, and in female derange-
ments, many of which are due to dis
ordered kidneys, all these will cease to
cause anxiety after using Kidney Wort
Tablets.
Many kidney remedies aggravate the
disorder because of the alcohol they
contain. Beware of all liquid kidney
remedies. Use nothing but Kidney
Wort Tablets that contain no particle
of alcohol.

BATES COLLEGE,
Mass Meeting on Track Work-Base
ball Practice Begun.

Bates College, Lewiston, Me-, April
-tSpeciaD.-This morning after chap
el exercises. a mass meeting of the stu
dent and faculty body met to outline
begun at once. Nearly all the students
were aroused by the remarks of Cap
tain Piper, Manager Towne, Messrs.
Briggs and Flanders and Prof Bolster.
One important change has been made
in the time holding the inter-class meet.
This meet will hereafter be held in the
fall instead of the spring. 1t will be
remembered that the experiment was
tried last fall and resulted very salts
factorily.
Bates has never made a good Show
ing in track athletics when competing
with the other Maine colleges and it
was suggested in the meeting today
that it is due to lack of enthusiasm
in the students. Football and base
ball rouses enough interest but the
other equally important branches of
athletics have suffered. From the in
terest shown in the meeting today it
would seem that a change is about to
take place in this respect
The shield offered by the alumni as
a prize for the inter-class meet was on
exhibition, this morning. 1t is a beau
tiful design. A large central discus is
engraved with the Bates seal and the
purpose of the prize is also expressed
in very neatly engraved letters.
Around the central discus are twelve
smaller ones each bearing a date.
These dates are for each year from 1908
to 1914 and leave spaces for the numer-
ais of the class winning the meet rep
resented by each discus.
Baseball practice has begun we'll I'M
der the direction of Coach Pappalan
There is sharp competition for the va
ricus places but the battery will re-
main the same as last year. Leon
Paine '06 Westbrook's pitcher last
year, has engaged to teach school this
spring and his withdrawal from the
squad will give others a better chance.
The freshmen are well represented in
practice and are making some of the
old men hustle. Dwinal, Austin and
Paine are among the best of the fresh
men but several others are doing excel
lent work

stand and to share their just proper
