TYSON SAYS
s,x uoNT,1xs


The medical term for Kidney
trouble" is Nephritis. Medical works
agree that II is durable during the
acute or first stage and that II is in
durable in the second or chronic stage
When is the line crossed? One OF
the latest authorities, James Tyson
N. D.. Prof. OF Medicine In the Uni.
versity OF Penn. says in his late work
page 12i, that the changes have been
observed as early as the tenth week
and are probably established in all
cases by THE SIXTH MONTH,
The name Nephritis means inflam-
nation of the kidneys and the books
have nothing for It physicians have
been helpless 1.-THE deaths have grown
to 10 daily, and Prof. Tyson plain
ly says: Page loo as to curative meas
ures to restore the kidney to its nor
NAL condition, II BELIEVE THERE
ARE NONE"
The Inevitable logic of this situa.
ton is that as sFulton's Renal Com
pound is the only thing known that
reduces Inflammation of the kidneys
after it has become chronic, 1t is the
only thing in. the world that people
can look to for recovery who have
had kidney trouble longer than sis
months.
(Npte-In fact, II is the only thing
that acts directly on kidney infiamma'
tion at any stage, first or last, But Il
naturally reduces It more quickly be,
fore than after it becomes chronic.)

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards Co., June
i5.-The demand for good fat cattle ex-
ceeded the supply here last week and
prices are rs cents to SO cents higher
Anything fit for the block found quick
sale and packers could have used
great many more cattle. A new top for
the year was put on the steer market
at $685., at which some good Longmont
beeves sold. They were OF very good
quality, but right fancy stuff would
have brought considerably more. Other
steers sold at $500 and 1920 while a
bunch of good South Park hay feds
went at $6.O5. Cows were very scarce
and the few good ones offered went
like "hot cakes" rhe best sold at $4.75
to $5.25 and medium to fair at $4.25 to
$4.75. Anything fleshy enough to kill
was disposed of in short order, but
when 1t came to the poor grades, sales
men found 1t difficult to move them
even at lower prices Bulls were active
and firm with bulk a. 1880 $500.
Veals sharply higher. Good light
weights sold at $4,000 $3.50 with tops
at $500. Very few feeders and stockers
went to the country because very few
were offered. Not great many want
ed however, as eastern markets were
reported lower and demand light The
inquiry was very good for the good
fleshy steers. but anything of this kind
was quickly snapped up by killers, who
were willing to pay more than feeder
buyers could afford. The common
rough steers were lower and a slow
sale. Hogs closed a quarter higher
than week ago with demand very
good. Prices now range from s5.55 to
$3.50 here.
The sheep demand was good on this
market and values are so cents to
rs cents higher than week ago. Good
wooled lambs sold up to 5000 late in
the week. The supply here was very
light and packers are needing supplies.
