scarcely noticed sharp advances or
declines in the minor industrials. In
the closing hour the market weakened
under pressure OF profess
sional spectators, who appeared to
reason that when prices were not adj
vancing at a time like this, they
ought to decline.

The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or IL
tho urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF
sediment, irregular of passage or at

get about four ounces Of Jad Salts
from any reliable pharmacy and take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water

your kidneys will then act fine. This

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question IS asked every day.
A cold is really fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fat-foods are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the system better
able to withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why
SCOTS Emulsion should always be
taken for colds, and it does more
builds strength to prevent sickness.
SCOTS Emulsion contains Natures
rare strength building fats, SO skillfully
blended that the blood profits from
every drop. 1t is free from harmful
drugs or alcohol. Sold at drug stores
always get the genuine.
