CrystaIized Poison!

Your blood IS always full OF poison-the
poison you eat and drink and breathe into
your system. II is the purpose OF the blood
TO absorb and carry off this very poison.
And the kidneys, which are the blood filters,
are expected 10 cleanse the blood and send
it back through the system clean, to gather
more poison. which they. in turn. will elm
mate.
But sometimes the kidneys fail. And some
times, from some other cause the blood gets
SO full of poison that they cannot absorb IL

The twi8ge in your Ieg-the duh ache in
your arm on a rainy day-these are the out

twisted limbs and unspeakabIe anguish OF the
sufferer who has allowed his symptoms to

are the evidences Of what rheumatism,

BUILDING MUST STAND,
But OWNERS TO SUFFER

The District officials have decided they
have not sufficient authority to tear
down the frame building known at 1210
Quaker Court. The owner, Franklin z.
Nash, will be prosecuted. however, in
the Police Court for a violation of the
terms of his permit for repairs.
This is the building which Building
Inspector Ashford ordered condemned.
1t is an alley house and figured in a
recent hearing before the Commission
ers.
The Building Inspector recommended
on, February 8 that if Mr.. Nash failed
to remove the house within five days
the lowest bidder be authorized to
proceed with the work Of tearing it
down.
Captain Chester Harding, assistant to
the Engineer Commissioner, decided this
was loo radical a step @nd the fact that
the owner had exceeded the extent of
repairs authorized in his permit did not
give authority for removal of the struc-
Iure,
Colonel Biddle. in approving Captain
Hardings position, said: The practice
of violating the terms of permits should
be absolutely prevented. If possible
