or the mixture would be put up if asked
NO do so. He further stated that while
this prescription is often prescribed in
rheumatic affections with splendid re-
suits, he could see no reason why it
would not be splendid remedy for kid
ney and urinary troubles and backache
as it has peculiar action upon the kid
ney structure, cleansing these most inn
portant organs and helping them to sift
and filter from the blood the foul acids
ard waste matter which cause sickness
and suffering. Those of our readers

Tribute If Respect

The following resolutions of respect were
on account of the death of Mr.. J. Mason
Heidwohl, with whom that body was init
mately associated for number of years
while Mr.. Heidwohl was Superintendent OF
the County Infrmary.
Whereas. On the 3rd day of December

dom, to lay the hand of death upon our be-
loved, friend, ]. Mason Heidwohl, who was
then in the prime of life, and the zenith OF
his usefulness, to call him from his earthly
home. and
Whereas. BY his untiring devotion and
Jealous work in the position he filed, caused
the members of this court to regard him with
high esteem. To know him was to know a
man strong, st, adfast, trHe. gentle and pure,
his devotion to the church was thorough.
His christian experience was rich. full and
constantly enlarging. He was thoroughly
unselfish and always ready in his love for
his brethren to make sacrifices of himself.
His charity was a. boundless as his thought
fu!ness was tender. His sympathy was
touching in extreme and his su4vity Of man
ner and courtesy were the utcome of the
gentleuess of his life. His domestic life and
devotion to the home circle was beautiful
as the clear sunshine, pure az the atmosphere
of the perfect day. His cheertulness was
contagious His wealth of sympathy APP
pealed to the hearts of all with whom he
came in contact, and his perfect resignation
when the dark shadow lowered over and
surrounded at the critical moment was a
beautiful exempifcaiion of death being
swallowed up in victory" To his family he
was faithful and loving husband and faith
er. ample in his provisions, tender and SYM
pathetic in his affections. Be it therefore
Resolved. That we bow in submission to
the will of Him who doeth all things we'll;
our loss is his eternal gain.
70 the beloved family we extend our sin
cere sympathy and trust that they look to
Him who is a very present help in time of
trouble, and receive the consultations of the
gosnel of peace.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes. published in the County
newspapers and copy be sent to the family
of the deceased.
