KIDNEY CURE.

There Is no disease so insinuat-
ing, 80 slow but sure, as kidney dis
ease, or so widespread. The symp-
toms are so slight as TO generally
4 escape notice.
The first indications appear in
] the urine, with varied effects. The
I quantity may be increased or de-
creased; 1t Is likely to be highly col
ored and scalding; 1t may be pale
8 or thin, or thick and milky with
q sediment. Later on more pro-
4 nounced symptoms will be present,
i such as dizziness, bloating, etc,
with marked bladder and urinary
disorders.

4 kidneys are not only overworked, bu.
4 underfed. How necessary is Il, there
B fore, that the purity and vitality OF the
! blood should be maintain ed. IL plain
why the great blood purifier and
strengthener DIR. Harter Is Iron Tonic
has been successfully used in treating
kidney diseases and in preventing same.
In purifying the blood the kidneys are
greatly relieved, while, at the same time,
new strength and vitality are given
these organs. The following letter tells
a very old story:
PINE KNOT, KY, June Is, 1902.
4 The Dr.. Harter Medicine Co., Dayton, o.
GENTLEMEN: had q severe case OF
typhoid fever six years ago, which left
my kidneys in bad order / have tried
a number Of remedies and taken treat
ment from doctors, but DR.. Harters Iron
Tonic has done me more good than
everything else. q. CoRDELL,
Merchant and Mine Operator.
There are tho usands Of just such
cases as the above that are treated
without results because they are
wrongly treated. Mr.. Cordell's
condition resulted from an exhaust
ing fever; the kidneys, as well as
the rest Of the system, had been
wasted by disease. No wonder DR..

because it purified and enriched the
blood, and such blood carried new

TriHeS aS IrritnntS.

We are so constituted that what IS
occurring at the moment interests US
often out of all proportion TO its I'M
p~ortancc. For example, we are thrown
off our balance by. the merest tri1es
perhaps which occur today, but which
in a weeks time may have no signlh-
canoe whatever. Obstacles which seem
like mountains when We meet them
dwindle away to molehills when we
get away from them.
Even what seems tragedy at the mo
ment in the future may be the most
innocent comedy.
Most of US are so constituted that we
will make almost any sacrifice for pres
ent peace. 1t would seem easier to have
an arm or a leg amputated two years
hence than to lose a finger today. 1t is
human nature to shrink from pain, and
we purchase release at almost any cost.
If we could only train the mind to look
at today's trouble and annoyance from
the standpoint of the future, it would
be much easier to bear.-Success.
