The Eminent Kidney

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-77-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
of apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to adj
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilner's Swainp-Root the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney. bladder
and urinary troubles. 1t has cured thousands
Of apparently hopeless cases. after all other

Tendency of the Times

The tendency of medical science is to
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given TO
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been full
ly demonstrated that pneumonia, one
of the most dangerous diseases that
medical men have to contend with, can
be prevented by the use OF Chamber.
lain's Congh Remedy. Pneumonia al
ways results from ascold or from an at
tack of influenza grip, and it has been
observed that this remedy coun teracts
any tendency of these diseases to pneu
mona. This has been fully proven IN
many thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of grip and colds in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from slight cold when no dan
ger is apprehended until it is suddenly
that there is fever and diff

strength to the glands of the stomach,

effec upon the organs involved. and il

An exchange says: ut is no idle
statement to say that the merchant
who advertises will always, as a rule.
give better bargains than one who does
not. You ask why? For this reasen:
The merchant who never quotes prices
to the public, and who never makes the
public any promises, can easily stick up
the price after you have really bought
the goods or he can work off something
not worth the price. If he is promising
certain goods at certain prices through
the newspapers, then he IS bound to
do what he advertises or the people
will soon lose confidence in him. An
other thing, the man who wants your
business enou5h to aek for if, is more
apt i, treat you right"

wedding Anniversary

On Friday Of last week Z large COM
pany of relatives and friends gathered Il
the home of Mr.. VIM. D. Torton at Il q
light house to help celebrate their twen-
ty-ffth wedding anniversary. It was an
occasion Of especial pleasure and merri-
ment. The day was delightful and the
table was loaded with good things for
the inner man. Notwithstanding aunt
Mary's' injunction mo presents many
pretty and useful gifts came. Aunt
Mary has a remarkable record as this
was her second silver wedding anniyer-
sary. The first was after twenty-five
years OF married life with William 4.
Layton who lived four years after. Then
after two years of w~idowhood she became
the bride Of Mr.. VIM. d. Torton. Fri
day was the twenty-ffth anniversary of
this happy occasion.
A beautiful linen cloth which graced
the table on last Friday was the gift of
Mrs. Emily Summerill on the former am
niversary. Though getting old as years
count Aunt Mary and Uncle Will are
still young IN heart and can claim such a
host of warm friends as most Of rs are
strangers to and the large number present
on last Friday are but a small share Of.
We wish them many more happy years
together. Supper was served to one hum
bred and five persons.
