FOR AMENDMENT

show that any article Loses
something of its value by be

To put an article i'll the

If, therefore, one wishes tc

In all the world there is no man or
woman who can afford to neglect the
slightest kidney disorder for one single

Kidney diseases are the most danger
GUS because the first signs are seen in
other parts of the body before anything
wrong is noticed with the kidneys them
selves.
Some Of the symptoms, though, can
not be mistaken; for instance, con-
slant aching or misery in the back, sides
or loins, or headaches and dizzy spells,
nervous twitehings, disturbed sleep, in
famed or puffy eyelids, heart palpita-
tions, rheumatic pains, weakness, bilious
stomach or a feeling of languor and fa.
tigue Sick, unhealthy kidneys also
cause thick, cloudy offensive urine or
it Is full Of sediment, irregular OF pass
age and often uncomfortable or attended
by a sensation of scalding.
The time to cure kidney trouble is
before it settles into diabetes, dropsy,
gravel or Bright's disease. The moment
you suspect the slightest kidney, bladder
or urinary disorder. begin taking Papes
Diuretic as directed, with the knowledge
that there Is no other medicine, at any
price, made anywhere In the world, which
will effect SO prompt cure. In just a
few days you feel and know that the

healthy, clean and normal and all dan
ger passed.
