The international tuberculosis con-
gress In session at ST. Louis last week
agreed by resolutions that all civillzed
governments should take immediate
action for the arrest of the spread OF
tuberculosis: that a minister OF pup
lie health should have seat IN every
cabinet with power and means TO sup
press the disease, and that nuhlci-
nalities should maintain sanitariums
for tuberculosis patients. Municipal
laboratories for the examination OF
sputa. popular education as to the pre-
vention OF tuberculosis and the or
ganization of local and state societies
for the suppression of the disease
were favored.

WHEN TIE KIDNEYS
STOP WORK.
The Point Where the Kidneys Cease
to Do Their Duty Properly is the
Beginning of Bright's Disease.
This Stage of the Disease Leaves
the Victim Only a Fighting
Chance for Life.

When the liver becomes torpid it
throws upon the kidneys extra work in
keeping the body free from impurities.
This extra work they will perform for a
time without serious disturbance, for
they are tough organs, but at last the
strain becomes too heavy, they are
weakened and disordered, and unless
the liver is promptly stimulated they
break down and the more serious trouble
begins. When this stage IS reached the
valuable liver regulating and kidney
strengthening properties of Prick1y Ash
Bitters are badly needed. It is safe to
say that no one would ever die of Bright's
Disease if he would apply this remedy
at this critical time. Unfortunately,
however, the kidneys do not at first
manifest any decided symptoms. The
victim is conscious that something is
wrong, but fails to apply a remedy for
it, so he struggles on until the disease
some day prostrates him completely,
meanwhile the deadly work of destruc-
ton goes on steadily in his vital organs.
The kidneys being weakened and pow
erless are no longer able to extract the
urea and uric acid from the blood, so it
goes back into the system and gradually
decays changing to uric acid poison
which extends its malignant influence
to every part of the body. The a1bunen
which should nourish the system passes
unarrested through the liver and kidneys
and escapes with the urine, so the pa
TENTS strength fails for want of food.
At this point the disease takes on
decided character, dropsy sets in and
the signs of uraemic poisoning rapidly
appear. The importance of checking
the ravages of the disease at the earliest
possible moment cannot be over-esti-
mated. When the trouble is confined to
the liver it is bad enough, but when the
kidneys break down it at once becomes
a life and death struggle with the GER
tainty that death will win the race unless
nature is helped in its effort to restore
health. The prudent and best course is
to resort to the use of Prick1y Ash Bitters
on the first signs of disorder in the liver.
Warning symptoms are plentiful and
are first noticed when the stomach fails
to digest food properly. The victim be-
comes bilious, 1anguid, constipated and
suffers from indigestion, headache, diz-
illness, foul breath and hatu1ence. A
few doses of Prick1y Ash Bitters will
drive out the bilious impurities,
strengthen and revive the torpid liver,
cleanse and regulate the bowels and
impart a feeling of strength, vigor and
cheerfu1ness.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure in red on the front label.
Sold by Druggists, $1.O0 per bottle.
