THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
BACkACElE, RHEUMATISM AND DROPSY

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou-
pies 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

Dility headaches, chillincss and rheu-
matism In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-

forms into gravel or kidney stones.

and joints it causes lumbago, rhcuma-

soaring his steady old horses almost
to death, and breaking up one of his
best farm wagons, Deacon Phipps had
no patience with any kind Of a motor
vehicle.
Az time went on, and many OF his
neighbers bought automobiles, his
horses became wontcd to them and
turned never a hair when they whizzed
by; but the good deacon did not re-
lent. Whenever one passed him on
the road. throwing, perhaps, a shower
Of dust or mud upon his modest car

stayed at home to take care OF them
Tho four sons were prosperous, and
tho older daughter had married a very
rich man and lived one hundred or
moro miles away. Two sons had be-
come farmers and lived quite near.
One was a merchant in large town

one was a minister, settled III the

Phipps, all OF these sons, excepting
tho minister, owned automobiles, and
Thomas. the merchant actually sport

found this out, he came almost to the
point Of breaking off relations with
Thomas.
In the old days, the family had
used to gather on the day before
Thanksgiving, and the large, airy
chambers Of the ample Phipps home
stead could accommodate them all.
Now the children and the grandchil-
such gatherings we're no longer pos

or had become infirm. There had
been some pretty lonely Thanksgiv-
