whether the initial carrier shall be

THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK

Work has been mans lot since the
creation, but a day of toll should not
have its penalty of pain. Why is it,
then, you ask, that backache so often
follows? 1t is because the modern
tendency is to overwOrk, to tear down
faster than nature can rebuild. An
unnatural strain is thrown upon the
vital organs, and more especially upon
the kidneys, which have the work of
filtering the blood free of waste and
poison.
The heavy tax of overwork, -the
strain uDon the back that is SO COM
mon TO many trades and occupations,
Is too great. The kidneys begin to
fail in their work, and there is a
double danger of health. The poison
Gus matter collects in the system, and
the kidneys themselves begin to break
down.
Pain in the back is only a warning
of trouble in the kidneys. An in
fiammatiOn has set in, and a disordeTed
condition of the urine soon becomes
apparent.
Too much or too little urine, with a
constant desire to void the secretions;
any noticeable deviation from the nor
NAL color; the appearance Of sandy
sediment, proves a disOrdered cOndi-

has suffered from kidney trouble for
about two months. The complaint
gradually grew worse and worse, until
he had TO give up work. Doan's Kid

and the pain in his back ceased and
the irregularity OF the kidney secre-
