Beware Of Deadly
Uric Acid Poison.
When There Uric Acid in Your System That Means q
Very Dangerous Condition.
Y Dangerous Condition.

A great many people do not know
what uric acid is. 1t is one Of the dead
Hest poisons that can exist in the human
system. And it cannot exist long in the
human system, without very Serious
consequences resulting. These conse-
quences often terminate in death - If
neglected. The kidneys and bladder
are depended upon to expel uric acid
from the human system. That is their
business.
When the kidneys and bladder are
sound and healthy, and in good work
ing order, they with the assistance of
the livery will effectually operate to
keep the system free from this uric
acid poison. But if the kidneys, blad-
der and liver are sick, over-worked,
exhausted, and diseased, they cannot ex-
pei the uric acid. Then the system be-
comes charged and overloaded with
this deadly poison = and the immediate
results are: foul and impure blood, ex-
IRENE nervousness, and sometimes total
mental breakdown, lame and aching
back and groins, rheumatism, govt,
lumbago, deposits of stone and gravel
in the bladder, and, later = if neglec-
ted = painful and incurable or fatal
diseases.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills
are genuinely good and the depend
able remedy for all weak, debilitated,
and diseased conditions of the kidney,
bladder and liver. They act directly
and at once upon these organs, and by
their especially cleansing, healing, an
tiseptic and curative action, speedily
put them into sound, active and healthy
condition again. Thousands of persons
have taken these Pills for diseases of
the kidneys and bladder - and in no

, trees in the state have living fruit buds.
DIR. George NJ Chapel says peaches
grown in Iowa this year will not
amount to much. Peaches We're killed
during the winter by the variable cold
snaps, the sudden changes to extreme
cold weather having much to do with
the failure of the crop. In general all
varieties of fruit trees are in good
condition, altho the fruit buds have
been somewhat retarded by the cold.
For the first time in three years the
prospects for banner cherry crop are
favorable. Strawberries will be about
70 per cent of full crop.
