That Lame Back Means
Kidney Disease
And to Relieve the Lame and Aching Back.
You Must First Relieve the Kidneys

There is no question about that
at all-for the lame and aching
back is caused by a diseased con-
dition of the kidneys and bladder.
1t is only common sense, any way
that you must cure a condition
by removing the cause of the con-
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms of arrangement Of the
kidneys and Bladder. There are a
multitude of well-known and I'M
mistakable indications of a more or
less dangerous condition. Some of
these are, for instance: Extreme
and unnatural 1assitude and weari-
ness, nervous irritability, heart ir-
regularity, "nerves on edge" Sleep
lessness and inability to secure
rest, scalding sensation and sedi-
ment in the urine, inflammation of
the bladder and passages, etc.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder
Pills are an exceptionally meritori-
GUS remedy for any and all affec-
tons or diseased conditions of
these organs. These Pills operate
directly and promptly-and their
beneficial results are at once felt.
They regulate. purify, and effec-
tually heal and restore the kid
neys. bladder and liver. to perfect
and healthy condition-even in
some Of the most advanced cases.

sThe Cat and the Fiddle. "

The forthcoming production OF the
merry musical musical extravaganza
ssThe Cat and the Fiddle" announced
for presentation at the Beverly Theatre
tonight, is being spoken of with no
small amount OF favorable comment.
The producer has been so in the habit
of doing things with this new and ex-
cellent production that a mere
announcement of its performance
in any city is sufficient to pack the
house to the doors. All the musical
numbers are spick, brand new this sea-
son and the tun and comedy, new
laugh-provoking sayings and situa-
lions, are humorous indeed.
s'The Cat and the Fiddle" is a play
of absorbing interest that contains
many new effects and several refresh
ingly new and unstagy types of satiri-
cal extravaganza. Its scenes are close
~ knit and the dramatic action is rapid;
humor is abundant and the players
give it adequate expression. The en-
tire original production will be seen at
the Beverly tonight.
