All the blood iu the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night snd day. When healthy they remove about 800 grains .of impure matter daily, when unhealthy
 some part Of this impure matter is left

 pack, headache, nervousness, hot, dry ,siD. rheumatism. gOut, gravel, disOr- durs Of the eyrSighJ aud h7ariug, di2Zi-

HIT by FLASH
IN MOTOR BOAT

While alone in the motor-boat Edith,
In the Trigg shipyard basin. yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. +. Maher. OF No. 2S0
North Thlrty-second; Street. was struck
by lightning, sustaining bad injuries
about the body and eyes, and narrow
~ escaping death. AT the time he was
struck Mr.. Maher was sitting IN the
rear of the boat. having just COM
pleted some repairs. The bolt hit some
of the brass fixtures. passing down
the curtains and into his body. He was
rendered unconscious.
When he recovered he struggled to
a telephone and called up the city am
bulance, the doctors taking him as far
as Eighteenth and Main. where he was
put on a street-car for home. The
physician informed Mr.. Maher that no
was suffering from a bilious attack.
When another physician was called In,
however. he stated that the patient
had been injured by lightning. At a
late hour he was resting comfortably.
Mr.. Maher does hot know. how long
he remained In the boat. though he
was probably unconscious for an hour
or more. Except for thu fact that the
lightning was divided by hitting an
iron bolt Mr.. Mahcr believes he would
have been instantly killed.
