THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
BACKAC1E, RHEUMATISM AND DROPSY

Kidney, Bladder and'Uric Acid trou-
bles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness. irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
When the uric acid affects the muscles
and joints it causes lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt or sciatica- This is the time

HE BLAMES PROBATE JUDGES
n. c. Bowman Of State Board of Con-
troll Says LAW Enforcement
Beats Eugenics.

1t is useless to talk about scien.
tiflc, eugenic marriages, Harry c..
Bowman of the Kansas. board of con-
! troll said in his address before the
Kansas conference of charities and
corrections at Lawrence. But the
probate judges of the state, he added,
can help by a more rigid enforcement
of the state law forbidding the marri-
age of epileptics, insane, imbeciles,
and feeble minded.
1.-THE juvenile courts accomplish
considerable good" Mr.. Bowman said,
but the county and city jails seldom
accomplish any permanent refOrma-
ton, and often do positive harm. The
juvenile court system is intended to
keep children out of jails and institu-
tions for delinquents, while jails are
for the purpose of Furnishing adults by
confinement, and to deter others by
punishment
That the number of insane and
feeble minded is increasing in start
ling ratio was pointed out by Bow
man.
There are more insane in inStitu-
lions in the United States than there
are students in the colleges and uni
versities,'' Bowman said, though it
to Kansas, where we have more COL
lege students than insane and feeble
minded in institutions. The census
shows that in the six years from 1904
to 1910 there was an increase of 25
per cent in the number of inmates in
the insane hospitals, and an increase
of only II per cent in the population
of the country"
