Concentrating his mind, Carlton
Clarke gazed steadily into her eyes
for a few moments. Her muscles be.
came tense, her face pallid and her
eyes CLASSY, and then they closed in
what appeared to be the sleep of ma.

1t against her forehead.

raising his head, poured brandy down
his throat. His eyes roved until they
lighted upon the uniform and star Of
the inspector.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.

Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily. when I'M
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood This brings on
many diseases and symptoms pain
in the back, headache. nervousness,
hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt, grav-
ell disorders of the eyesight and hear
ing. dizziness. irregular heart. debility.
drowsiness. dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.
Mrs E. C. WiIkie. living at High
| St., Barton VT. says: Severe pains
| in my back bothered me for long
time, and there were other symptoms
