After suffering from Kidney Disease for
three years; after taking treatment
from six different doctors without get

of Kidney Trouble from Backache to

Pills could not cure. They are the

Peccaries in the desert of Sonora live
in little dry hills, where there is no nat,

One of these mice has been kept for
three years with no other food than the
mixed bird seed of commerce. During
this period 1t has not taste of either
water or green food.
Other experimenters have found, In
fact, that these mice in captivity refuse
such treats, not seeming to know that
water is good to drink.
The bird seed put before this mouse
contained not more than 10 per cent of
moisture, which is less than is neces-
sary for digestion. Stuff so dry as this
cannot even be swallowed until it is
moistened by saliva. Yet this remark

The question is seriously raised
whether this mouse is provided with a
condenslng apparatus by which it is
able to absorb moisture from the at

and he hoped that he might thus stop
