AS a result of correspondence with
Henry Ford. the Detroit automobile
manufacturer. Thomas A. Edison de-
cided to be a crusader against the Gig

Mr.. Edison made analyses OF at least
twenty brands of cigarettes. While
he found the tobacco contained in
them was of all qualities, he found
poisonous matter in all the papers I'm
which they were rolled. Said Mr.. Ed
son:
THAT poison attacks the brain and
works havoc with mans mental ac-
tivity. His mind becomes clouded.

president of Mexico, told here a few
days ago that men. women and chill

Mr.. Edison has always abhorred Gig

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About Kidney
Troubles

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of
the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their wo' k
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Brigbt's disease which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in
1918, in the state of New York alone.
Therefore, it behooves us to pay more
attention to the health of the, most i'm
portant organs.
