Alma-Tadema confesses to a super

My wife was IL when 1 first met

house to which l took her when we
we're married was II. My present

Women Suffer Agonies
from Diseased Kidneys
And Most Women Do This Not Knowing the
Real Cause of their Condition

These poor, suffering women
have been led to believe that their
misery of mind and body is entire
ly due to ellis of their sex" Usually
the kidneys and bladder are re-
sponsible-or largely so. And in
such cases, the kidneys and blad-
der are the organs, that need and
must have attention.
Those torturing, enervating sick
headaches, dragging pains in back,
groin and limbs, bloating and SWELL

Pills have, in thousands of cases.,
been demonstrated as remarkably
beneficial in all such conditions Of

most prompt relief and permanent
benefit.
As an illustration Of what these
Pills will do, Mrs. P. M. Bray of
Columbus, Ca, writes that she was

that she is now well-and that
these Pills are what cured her.

Seed Of the Guaya Plant.

According to NJ. c. Mohr of st. Pc
tersburg, one of the peculiarities about
the guava is that the seed from the
same guava will not produce the same
fruit the second time. Take seeds
from the same fruit, plant them and
you will almost have as many differ
ent varieties of the fruit as the num-
Der of seeds planted. The best way
to get a second tree is to take the
branches from the guava bush, cover
them with earth for more than a foot.
The result. in less than a year, will be
that the limb has rooted and from this
the tree can be had.
