The Stomach Cannot Rest.

1t is mistake to suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recuperate and by this
means dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process begins in the mouth and does not
end until the food has reached the in
testines. The salivary glands in the
mouth, the stomach, lower stomach, liver,
spleen, etc, take part in the digestive
process. This process is going on con-
tinously. Think of resting the heart or
the lungs for few minutes, or any other
organ. Pepsin pancreatin, etc. do not
rest the stomach, they digest the residue
of food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body of irri-
tating acids or gas. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets contain just enough Pepsin, and
Pancreatin to do this. They also con.
tain many vegetable tonics and stimulants
for the digestive tract Rydale's Stomach
Tablets cure dyspepsia the only way it
can be cured. Ask us about them. Eli

Why Kidney Disease Is Dangerous.

Kidney disease is dangerous because II
comes on unwares and progresses to a
fatal stage before the sufferer realizes
what the trouble is.
If you begin to run down, feel badly,
have indigestion, inactive Liver, ETC., you
have reason to suspect that your Kidneys
are affected and special Kidney treat
ment should be taken at once. Delays
are dangerous. Rydale's Kidney Remedy
is the best remedy known for the Kidneys.
1t never fails to restore them to health.
Rydale's Kidney Remedy will cure
Bright's Disease if taken before too much
of the Kidneys are destroyed. The
Remedy can do no harm if your kidneys
are not the cause of your ill.health. It
is the safest remedy if they are the cause

The Demon OF The Air

is the germ of La Grippe, that,
breathed in, brings suffering to
thousands. Its after effects are
weakness, nervousness, lack of ap-
petite, energy and ambition, with
disordered liver and kidneys. The
greatest need then is Electric Bit
tiers, the splendid tonic, blood puri-
fer and regulator of Stomach,
Liver and Kidneys. Thousands
have proved that they wonderfully
strengthen the nerves, build up the
system and restore health and good
spirits after an attack of Grip. If
suffering, try them. Only SOC.

Little Jimmy had arrived at the
questioning age. He had just made an
inquiry concerning perpetual motion
Of his father.
s'No," said his father; nobody has
ever discovered perpetual motion yet =
But Jimmy was not quite satisfied.
what is perpetual motion like, dad?''
he asked next.
Els father thought a moment. 'sWhy,
it's pretty hard to say, Jimmy" he re-
piled, "but it's something that keeps
going and going forever. Here is an
illustration. I once saw woman in a
train who had put on her gloves. She
then tried to button her right hand
glove, but she found that she must
take of her left hand glove to do so.
She took it off and buttoned the right
hand glove. Then she saw that In or
der to button her left hand glove she
must take Off her right hand glove,
which she did. Then she put on her
left hand glove, buttoned it and put
on the right hand one again. But she
couldn't button her right hand glove
with her left hand glove on, SO she
took off, That, Jimmy" he said after
a pause for breath, lis what perpetual
motion would be like If you could get
IT."

empress, Catherine H., in 1774 consists
Of 952 pieces, and on each piece is
painted different view. The body is
Of pale birthstone color, and the
