Downward COURSE

PEOPLE.


PEOPLE.
A little backache at first.
Daily increasing till the back is lame
and weak. Urinary disorders quickly
follow; diabetes and finally Bright's
disease. This is the downward course
of kidney Ills.
F. A. Davis, living at 1856 s. German
st. Harrisonburg. Va, says: when
1 came back from the army found
that my kidneys were much disorder
ed. I consulted physician but be gave
me little hope of ever getting better.
l suffered at times from the most ex-
cruciating pains through nv kidneys
and loins. A constant dull ache across
my back and hips aggravated me, l
had continual desire to pass the Sc
cretions and they plainly showed that
my kidneys were not acting properly,
being red in color, of an offensive OdOr
and filled with heavy sediment. My
general health kept gradually failing
and l became broken down and SO dis
couraged that was physical wreck.
At this time Doan's Kidney Pills were
brought to my attention and procur-
ed box at a drug store. I was de
lighted at the wonderful results I re-
ceived after taking them for a short
time, continued taking them and was
cured. l gave statement to this
effect on Feb. 26. 1908, and at this time,
June 10, 1907. l can conscientiously
say that have not had any return Of
the complaint from that day to this.
Consequently take pleasure in reit-
Grating all said and will be glad to do
iu a personal interview to anyone who
desires to call upon me.''

FREAK o. THE TIDES.
AT THE MOUTH OF ST. JOHN RIVER,
WHERE WATER FLOWS UP HILL

AT THE MOUTH OF ST. JOHN RIVER,
WHERE WATER FLOWS UP HILL
Speaking of freaks of the tide, there
is nothing in this world to equal the
phenomenon at the mouth of the st.
John river, where water flows up hill
and down twice daily. These revers-
ing falls are in class by themselves
in the worlds natural curiosities.
The rise of the tide in the bay of
Fundy, which ranges up to sixty feet,
averages at st. John harbor twenty
eight or thirty feet.
At the mouth of the st. John river
the great body of water IS forced
through deep and narrow gorge. On
the one side of this gorge the harbor
opens; above 1t the st. John river,
nearly 500 miles long. stretches away
into the province of Quebec.
When the tide in the bay of Fundy
is on the flow, the waters rise with
such rapiditY that the level in the har.
bor becomes In less than an hour con-
siderab higher than the level in the
river.
The water is forced through the
gorge at such rate that it literary
falls up into the river, the height Of
this fall reaching at times fourteen
feet. So great is the area of the river
so great is the amount of water rising
in the harbor and SO narrow Is the
gorge that it would take hours longer
than the interval of any tide to bring
the river level up to that of the harbor
at high water.
AS consequence, after the tide has
turned and is on the ebb in the harbor,
the level is still so much higher than
the river that the tide in the river con.
tinues to rise for two or three hours,
the water still falling upward.
The same force works in the flow.
After the water in the harbor has fall.
en- until the level In the harbor and in
tae river are the same the fall down
ward begins. During the next few
hours the harbor recedes until the drop
from the river to the harbO is as much
as sixteen or seventeen feet at the very
lowest tide. Once more the tide turns
inward and comes up quickly, but
over three hours elapss before 1t Is
sufficiently high to counteract the
downward flow from the river.
At half tide there is a period of
something less than an hour when
navigation is impossible. = Boston
