new medicine, has helped me more than
any other treatment or medicine I ever
had. 1 am IS years of age. For years
was troubled with severe case of kidney
and bladder disease. I consulted numer-

have used various kinds of medicine, but
nothing equals Cal-cura Solvent. consider
myself completely cured, and I am doing
my best in recommending this grand medi-
cine to my friends, for want to spread
its reputation throughout this territory"
There are hundreds of people who have
been absolutely cured of kidney, bladder
and liver disorders by the thorough and
systematic use of Cal-cura Solvent. The
greatest work of this new medicine is that
it prevents the formation of stone and
gravel in the Kidneys and Bladder by dis
solving the uric acid and phosphate sedi-
ments, thus purifying the blood and cor
recting all those uric acid conditions of the
stomach which are responsible for the
formation of uric acid and govt poisoning
and rheumatism.
Cal-cura Solvent gives q healthy action
to the liver and freedom from constipation.

Geography, ever an important fac
tor in human history, has nowhere op-
Grated more powerfully upon nation
than upon the Dutch. On the other
hand no nation has ever held so COM
plete mastery over it's geographical
conditions and forces. By building
over 1900 miles of dykes, by making
their country network of canals, and
by erecting some thousands of wind
mills, the Netherlanders have reclaimed
from the sea vast area of the most
fertile soil in Europe. Altitude is
measured from the Amsterdam zero,
or mean height Of the sea at high tide,
and ranges from $50 feet in the back
provinces to 20 feet below sea level in
the maritime provinces. Thus the
highest points in Holland have about
the altitude Of Newtown Street. If
the dykes should break away the sea
and rivers would submerge the lower
provinces to an average depth of 10
feet.

be paralleled Of the triumphant strug-
giles of brave people against human

appear titanic. The commercial en-
terprise of the Dutch became world re-

One Of the most popular routes from

London, Bury St Edmunds, and other

80 miles by rail takes the tourist to
all of them and in the order named.
II the trip is begun at Schiedam, be-
tween Rotterdam and The Hague, the
first place of note is Delft, formerly
famous for its pottery. At Delfthaven,
near by, the Pilgrims embarked for
America in 1920.
The Hague, the capital of Holland,
is q few minutes farther on. This
cleanest of European cities has many
attractions chief of which is the Pict-
ure Gallery, containing Paul Potter's
Bull" Rembrandt's "School of An
atomy," The Presentation in the Tenn
ple," and others almost as well known.
There are several other collections of
paintings in the city. OF the,mon-
uments which adorn the public squares

writer called him the other day 1.-THE
greatest of his time and the only man
in history who can properly be com

much talked of for the past few years
because of its royal villa, the Huis ten
Bosch House in the Wood), in which
the meetings of the International
Peace conference have been held.
|. Leyden, 10 miles north from The
Hague, is the seat of an old and re-
nowned university the library of which
is the richest in Holland. HARLEM, II
miles farther north, is renowned for it's
museums and picture gallery but
chiefly for the organ in the Groote

Amsterdam, 10 miles east of Haar-
lem and called from the number Of it's
canals the "Venice of the North" is
the metropolis of Holland and one of
the wealthiest cities of it's size in the
world. Built on 80 islands connected
by 300 bridges and its countless liquid
streets filed with Strengthening craft
it presents most unusual appearance.
