A VALUABLE PRESCRIPTION.

The average person does not realize how much the bodily health depends upon the proper action of the kidneys and bladder, nor how widespread disorders of those organs are. It is quite safe to say that they give physicians as many sleep less nights on account of their patients as do any of the others, and perhaps it would not be too much to say that. directly and indirectly, they are charge able with as much sickness as all the other organs of the human body com bined. As result of a vast amount of careful study, many physicians are now using with great success in the treatment of disorders traceable to the kidneys and bladder a prescription composed of A oz. Fluid Extract of Buchu. A OF. Fluid Ex- tract of Uva Ursi. 1 OF. Amet Cordial, h OF. Fluid Extract of Liverwort and 15 ozs. water. This is administered in doses of a tablespoonful three times day and while the treatment is continued. which.
 in order that all impurities may be elimi- mated from the system, should be for a month, the patient is advised to drink large quantities of water The materials called for by the prescription are car ried in stock by every first class phar- macy.

LIN VIRGINIA

"IN VIRGINIA" The following lines were contributed by a young woman from Virginia: ''The roses nowhere bloom so white As in Virginia. The Sunshine nowhere shines so bright As in Virginia. The birds sing nowhere quite so sweet As in Virginia. And nowhere hearts so lightly beat As in Virginia. The days are never quite so long As in Virginia. Nor quite so filled with happy song As in Virginia. And when my time has come to die, Just take me back and let me lie, Close where the James goes rolling by Down in Virginia There is nowhere a land so fair As in Virginia So full of song, so free from care, As In Virginia. And I believe that happy land The Lords prepared for happy man, Is built exactly on the plan
