DRINK WATER TO CURE
KIDNEYS AND RHEUMATISM
The People Do Not Drink Enough
Water to Keep Healthy,
Says WeII-known
Authority.

THE numerous cases of kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
mainly due to the fact that the drink
ing of water, natures greatest medi-
cine, has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with med
icines and cure-alls; but get on the
water wagon. If you are really sick,
why, of course, take the proper medi-
cines-plain, common vegetable treat
ment, which will not shatter the
nerves OF rujp the stomach"
To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they ere
the filters Of the blood. They mus.
be made to strain out Of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-
tralized SO 1t will no longer be a
source OF irritation to the bladder. and.
most OF all. you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
is the cause Of stomach trouble and
poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do no better than take the
following prescription: Fluid Extract
Dandelion. one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking well in bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime, but don't forget the
water. Drink plenty and often.
This valuable information and sim.
pie prescription should be posted up
in each household and used at the
first sign Of an attack Of rheumatism.

turkeys used in the absence of presentday facili-
ties for transport to be driven long distances on

little flock Of four of the fowls of his fancy, and
Of betting high in favor of the tur-
keys And at first they seemed to justify their
hackers, for they stalked away from their
waddlng rivals and left them far behind. So
things went all day, but dusk the

In fact One Of the most valued possession Of the
Calcutta animal dealer have mentioned was a
fawn-colored European-bred turkey, whose color
much commended It in his eyes, since turkeys of
this hue seem not to be found In India This
privileged fowl used to circulate about his mas
ters chair, strutting and gobbling; and though he
often resented the entrance of natives into the
compound he respected Europeans. piece OF dis
elimination one does not expect In a being of such
limited intelligence turkey. Another inmate
of tho menagerie was young cassowary, and he
wrought the turkeys downfall; for, coming into
the compound day, missed the ginger-hued
gobbler, and asked what had become Of him.
"Ah, my poor turkey!" said the dealer; he
gave cheek tc the cassowary, and the cassowary
kicked him and burst his bag!" 1t sounded as II
the impudent bird had been collapsed like toy
balloon but did not inquire into details
The dealer, however, consoled himself with q
pair of local turkeys or the ordinary dark color,
and the gobbler was beginning to take the place
