 Calls. These Bring on the
 Deadly Bright's Disease.
Thousands Die of 1t Every Year.

Kidney disease is the enemy we have most to fear as a result of the feverish restlessness of modern civilization. It is treacherous enemy, working out it's deadly effect under cover of the most trifing symptoms. The first indication of changes in the urine, frequent head aches, digestive troubles, should be the signal for prompt remedial measures. Prickly Ash Bitters is kidney remedy of the greatest merit; it is soothing, healing and strengthening, quickly re- lieves the aching or soreness that always appears in advanced stages, checks the progress of the disease and through its excellent cleansing and regulating effect in the stomach, liver and bowels, 1t brings back the strength and ruddy glow of vigorous health.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having
