What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of Sc
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that un
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected OF
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health of these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy ia
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp-Root at once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in bot
ties of two sizes-50c and 81 90.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

The Newest Discovery i'm Chemistry

T'his is O recent discovery Of Doctor
Pierce, who is head Of the Inyalid's
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Bulia!o,
N. Y. Experiments at DR.. Picrcc's
Hospital for several years proved that
there Is no Other eliminator Of uric
acid that can be compared to it. For
those easily recognized symptoms OF
lnilammation-as backachc, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in the urine, or If uric
acid IN the blood has caused rhcuma-
tism, 1t Is simply wonderful how sure
ly "Anuric" acts. The best of results are
always obtained in cases OF acute
rheumatism In the joints, in gravel
and gout, and invariably the pains and
stiffness which so frequently and per-
sistently accompany the disease rap
idly disappear.

improves efficiency?'' MT. Bassick was asked.
 .sI know it doesn't. he said. Our machines are mostly automatic four slide and they can't do as much in 48 hours as they can sin 55.
 This eight hour day idea costs the workman in the long run. He pays for it in the end. Look at the car penters. They got the eight hour day and the prices of houses was jump ed to make up for the loss. When the workmen is building house he pays more for it because of the fact that it is costing the contractors more than before.
 Its the same with the manufac- turers. When they go on the eight hour day, they have to raise the price of their product. The public then has to pay for the changes A We're going to deal with our ern- pIoyes directly anyway We don't want any interference.'
