The Battle Greek Idea" is not a fad
nor a mushroom growth. 1t is a sciep-
tific system which traces the main roots
of its origin far back into the CEN
turtles. 1t is not the product of a single
brain. but of hundreds and thousands
of tireless workers and thinkers who
have ~garnered the choicest fruits of
generations of experience and have
collated the results of centuries of
scientific research.

Wort Tablets were used.
Dalton, Mass, April %, 1905.
Gentlemen wish you to know how
very much better my husband is since
taking Kidney-Wort Tablets. His appe-
title has improved, sleeps we'll, has no
pain in back or head, nor any stomach
trouble. His urine has cleared, so that It
Is quite its natural color. He has i'm
proved greatly in looks and grows
stronger every day. have recommended
the Tablets to my acquaintance. ! think
they are wonderful. He has had no at
tack of the commissions since taking the
Tablets. Respectfully yours,
MRS. G. II. WOODWORK.
No liquid kidney remedy could have
done this-the alcohol present in all such
remedies would have made such a recov-
cry impossible. Alcohol inflames the tiny
fltering tubes, hardens them so that they
cannot do their work. Kidney-Wort
Tablets contain no alcohol. They cure
kidney diseases where other remedies
have no effect.
The spring is favorable to the begin
ming of kidney troubles. The dampness
leads to colds; backaehes are prevalent.
Every one should watch any change that
takes place in the urine.
II your back, aches, your appetite
grows tickle, your urine becomes dark
and cloudy, smells bad, has a heavy sedi-
ment, or your feet, legs or hands swell,
make this test:
Allow 4 bottle of your morning urine
to stand for twenty-four hours. If you
find a dark sediment, "brick dust" de-
post or particles floating on top, take
the Tablets and notice the rapid clearing
Of the urine and the improvement in the
general health.
