B|oodine
The Worlds Tonic

Is a body builder.

BLOODINE has cured thousands of
people of Kidney and Bladder diseases.
1t used to be considered that only uri-
nary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys, but now modern
science proves that nearly all diseases
have their beginning in the disorder OF
these most important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the
blood-that is their work.
Therefore when your kidneys are
weak or out of order, you can under
stand how quickly your entire body is
affected, and how every organ seems to
fail to do its duty. II you are sick or
"feel badly" begin taking the great kid
ney remedy, BLOoDINE, because as
soon as your kidneys are we'll they will
help all the other organs to health.
A trial will convince anyone. Weak
and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many kinds of diseases, and II per-
mitted to continue, much suffering IL
sure to follow.

of much neat comedy work at the Ma

play has real comedy in it and the COM

The humor was furnished by Mr.. Edward

do it ably.
While comedy predominates, the Mid

The story Of the play is as follows:

He falls 60 feet to the water and Is res
