Kidney Trouble

Danger Point is Reached-Dr.
Derby's Kidney Pills Work
Wonders-.Sample Free!

Kidney disease is much more common
than most people imagine. Many sufferers
do not know what's ailing them-until the
trouble becomes serious. Some trifling af-
lection may run into the dread diabetes,
dropsy or Bright's disease before one realizes
there's anything wrong with his kidneys.
Usually the most noticeable symptoms
which first appear are far from the seat of
the trouble. ard the sufferer mistakes The
nature of his ailment. Dull headaches or
nervousness, for instance, he never thinks of
as signs of diseased kidneys.
Even the aching back and sides, fheurna-
tisrn, pains or twitching in groins Or limbs,
sore, inhamed muscles, he may consider in
dications of some other trouble. Unnaturally
colorcd or cloudy urine, too frequent or too
scanty urination, burning sensation, are of
course readily recognized as symptoms of
such disorders.
Because of the deceptive and dangerous
character of these ailments, if you suspect
your kidneys are diseased, lose no time in
beginning treatment. The best possible
remedy for you is DR.. Derbu's Kidney Pills.
They are quite different fro m anything else
in the market. They act in two ways

MYSTERIOUS AFRICAN LAKE

Lieutenant Graetz. German ON.
Ger is making his way across the Al
rican continent from the indian
ocean to the Atlantic in motor boat
his chief object being the exploration
of the mysterious Bangweolo lake,
which discharges into the Zambesi riv-
err.
This sheet of water. except at the
point where the Zambesi river leaves
1t, is surrounded with miles OF reeds,
and no white man has ever sailed its
surface. The natives tell curious tales
of what is to be found within its
swampy enclosures On the ISLANDS
which, they aver. stud the lake, are
to be found colossal elephants and tall
CRATES, while in the waters sea-ser-

natives, hot springs sprout into the

across the marshes carry death and
destruction to all living things.
or the few natives who have ever
ventured out upon the Bangweolo lake
in their small frail canoes. none have
ever returned to tell the tale OF their
adventures. Lieutenant Graetz thinks
that unknown species of animal and

'He has been great tea drinker
all his life and has always liked it

''Tea has, of late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. AT first it soothed him, but
only FOR an hour or SO, then 1t began
TO affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could. not sleep at night, and
he would go to his work in the morn
ing wretched and miserable from the
loss of rest. This condition grew. con-
stantly worse, until his friends per-
suaded him, some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum,
"At first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste Of
it. and it somehow seemed to do, him
good, he added it to his evening meal.
Then, as he grew better, he began to
drink it for his noon meal, and now
he will drink nothing else at table.
".His condition is so wonderfully i'm
proved that he could not be hired to
give up Postum and go back to tea.
His nerves have become steady and
reliable once more, and his sleep is
easy, natural and refreshing.
He owes all this to Postum, for he
has taken no medicine and made no
other change in his diet
