WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE
WEAK BODIES.
Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Conn
mon Aches and Ills of Ham
mond People.

AS one weak link weakens chain, SO
weak kidneys weaken the whole body
and hasten the final breaking down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes, injure the kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess of uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come, and there is an ever
increasing tendency towards diabetes
and fatal Brights disease. There is no
real help for the sufferer except kid
ney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney i'll
Hammond cures are the proof.
Mrs. c. Wise, of 407 Indiana avenue,
Hammond. Ind, says II was told by
friend that Doan's Kidney Pills were a
fine remedy for kidney trouble and on
her suggestion. 1 purchased box at
Bicknen & Co.'S drug store. I began
taking them as directed and in couple
of days could see that I was being
benefited The pain in my back was
less severe, the kidneys were more reg
ular in action and / felt much stronger
After a weeks use the pain had entirely
! disappeared from my back and this en-
couraged me. I continued untid en-
tireIy cured. I will always speak good
word for Doans Kidney Pills when 1

ACTUAL SITUATION
Kaufman & Wolf Give
Facts Regarding
Dyspepsia.

Although Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people do not
thoroughly understand their cause and
cure. There is no reason why people
should not eat anything they desire
if they will only chew it carefully and
thoroughly Many actually starve
themselves into sickness through fear
of eating every good-looking, good
smelling and good-tasting food, be-
cause it does not agree with them.
Dieting cannot cure Dyspepsia. If
we refuse every article of food that
disagrees with US, before long we have
nothing left, and find ourselves chronic
dyspeptics.
We can cure Dyspepsia. We are so
confident of this fact that we guaran-
tee a cure and promise to supply the
medicine free of all cost to everyone
who will use it, who is not perfectly
satisfied with the results which it pro-
duces. We exact no promises, and put
no one under any obligation whatever.
Surely, nothing could be fairer. We
are located right here in Hammond and
our reputation should be sufficient as
surance of the genuineness of our Of
fer
We want everyone in Hammond who
is troubled with Indigestion or Dyspep-
STA in any form to come to our store and
get a box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets. Take them home and give them
a reaso enable trial, according to direc-
tions. They are very pleasant to take;
they soothe the irritable stomach,
strengthen and invigorate the digestive
organs, promote a healthy and natural
bowel action, Immediately relieve naus-
ca and all stomach irritation, produce
perfect and healthy digestion and as
similation, and promote nutrition.
A Csc. package of RexaH Dyspepsia
Tablets furnishes Is days treatment
In ordinary cases. this is sufficient to
produce a cure. In more chronic cases
longer treatment, of course, is ne
cessary. and depends upon the severity
of the trouble. For such cases, we
have two larger sizes. which sell for

Heart Failure

OF the many deaths from heart
failure very few realize in advance
the seriousness of their condition.
When the heart shows a weakness,
such as palpitation, short breath,
pain in chest and in side, it needs
attention just as much as other
organs do when they fail to do their
work well. For any condition of
heart trouble you can rely on
DR.. Miles Heart Remedy.
1t will strengthen and regulate the
heart action, and enable it to over
come the strain upon its weakened
condition.
ST had heart trouble. My son in
duced me to try DR. Niles Heart Rem

complete cure"

HE WAS FOUND UNDER
evils OF COUNTY OPTION"
Unusual Spectacle Is Witnessed In
Crown Point Saturday Night.

Seventy years old. seven times old
enough to know better, hatless and
without an overcoat with the cold wind
whistling through his thread-bare
his drunken stupor, and with the skin
torn from his unkempt face by falling
again and again in his efforts to seek
some place of shelter. such was the
condition that passers-by found an old
man on Crown Point streets Saturday
night. Lying prone on the ground
making a lost feeble effort to arise,
with his numb fingers clutching at a
sign board that hung suspended from
a building where the gray haired old
man had made his last feeble stand
before succumbing to the intoxicants
he had previously partaken.
The picture presented was that
struck horror to the minds o. those
that saw it.
There is. perhaps, nothing unusual
in the above true description Of an
actual occurrence. Such scenes are
probably witnessed daily from one end
VI lH6 ldl0 ~ LIE OAAACA CAAAosPo NtAS
aged man was a little more than is
customarily seen of men in that condi-
ton. Usually the soul takes the place
of the bowl in their meditations at this
age of life Also his poverty, his hat
less and coatless condition are not out
of the ordinary. His being thrust bodi-
ly from some bar-room, to freeze. may
hap, for all that the one who bleeds
him alone for his last penny cares
All these are incidents of every day
occurrence. One thing alone stands out
to give the incident any undue promi-
hence, and the sports of late could not
have conjured up a more bizarre OF
grotesque situation with its accom-
panying settings. On the sign board
that the poor old derelict vainly
clutched in his feeble and totterine
efforts to rise was printed the words
in the large glazing red letters that
confronted every son and daughter in
old Indiana during the late campaign
the sign that was Haunted in the faces
of friend and foe alike of the brewery
trust of Indiana in their frantic effort:
to stem the wave that would over
whelm them. Could the bleary old eye:
have seen and the chattering numbeC
teeth have read those letters of RED
that even the dark of night did no
efface, could his deranged and fuddlet
brain have comprehended the situation
even he in his pitiable condition woult
have turned satirist and the sports o
fate that tripped the stumbling fee
directly under that sign certainly woul
have had their appetites appeased. 9TH
