to use, because it gives to the kid
neys the help they need to perform
their work.
If you have any, even one, of the
symptoms of kidney diseases, cure
yourself now, before diabetes dropsy

FEAR AS a DISEASE.
Physicians Now Recognize Many and
Strange Phobias.


Strange Phobias.
Medical Record: Fear as disease
had not received serious attention un-
til recent years. Now il is recognized
by the medical profession that there is
whole list OF phobias. as they are
called. which are quite distinct from a
normal and legitimate condition Of fear
due to some natural cause.
Thus there is the fear OF open or
closed places. fear of high places. fear
OF men or women. fear OF animals. fear
OF insects, fear OF darkness. fear Of
accidents, fear Of IRE. fear Of travel
and in fact. fear Of anything.
There Is no end to the absurdity OF
acts which may be occasioned by these
persistent ideas OF fear. Those that
possess the fear OF riding on a train
find no pleasure In travelling: those
that have fear Of closed places DO not
enjoy going to church, and generally
always sit near the door ready to fly
at the first sign OF danger.
Various fears may also develop IN
connection with the occupation of tho
patient for instance BARRIERS some
times suffer these attacks whenever
they see razor. or teIegraphers when
they catch sight of their Instruments
which finally necessitates giving UP
the occupation.
Among women especially there oc-
cars fear OF dirt. contagion or In
fection. The countless bacteria always
present In the air the chief source
Of annoyance The patients are al
ways complaining Of bad air and are
always throwing open the windows.
Books are especially avoided as pos
sibIe source Of contagion. In patients
with fear Of injury they will throw
away all needles In the house Or they
will no more wash windows for fear
that the glass might break and cut

An important musical event will be
the initial of two recitals which are to
be given by Hamilton Hunt, the cele-

ranged to mark the dedication Of the
fine new instrument which has been
erected in the sacred edifice TO take
the place of the organ destroyed in the
fire at this church over two years ago.
