kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble. because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

troubles were TO be traced TO the kidneys
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.

der Diseases in Every
Form Many People
Have Kidney Trouble
and DO Not Know 1t.
HOW TO FIND OUT.

1t is the function of the kidneys to filter
and purify the blood which is constantly
passing through them.
When the kidneys are out of order the
other organs are affected Immediately
and you may have symptoms of heart
trouble, stomach and liver trouble, and
other ailments, which are all owing to the
kidneys being weak and out of order.
If you are sick FOIey's Kidney
Cure will strengthen and build up the
worn out tissues of the kidneys so they
will act properly and the symptoms of
weakness, heart, stomach and liver
trouble will disappear and you will be
restored to perfect health.
How 10 Tell II You Have Kidney Trouble.
You can easily determine if your kid
neys are out of order by setting aside for
"a hours a bottle of the urine passed
upon arising. If upon examination it is
cloudy or milky or has brick-dust sed-
iment or small particles float about in it,
your kidneys are diseased and FOIey's
Kidney Cure should be taken at once.
FOley's Kidney Cure is pleasant to
take and acts directly upon the parts
affected and you begin to feel better
at once.
1t corrects slight disorders in few
days and it has cured many obstinate
cases after other treatment had failed.

The absence of water was a serious
drawback to subduing the fire and but
for the chemical engines it is believed
the entire business portion of the city
would have been destroyed. The fact
that scarcely any wind was blowing
was a point which aided materially in
preventing the flames from crossing
the street and burning over a larger
area. The fire was finally brought un-
der control and confined to the Parks
lumber yard, where it was subdued
after several hours of heroic fighting.
The origin of the fire is unknown but
it is supposed to have started in the
rear room Of the meat market where
some lard and grease was stored. The
