A Moral Lesion.

Occasionally during Enoch's conva-
lescence Dorcas found him listening to
common noises about the house with
feverish anxiety which was half-ter-
ror.

the nurse one day. Il wish l could

OLD SOLDIER WISHES TO
HELP SUFFERERS FROM KID
NEY, LIVER AND BLADDER
TROUBLES,

I am frequently troubled with kidney
and bladder trouble, especially in the
Spring and Fall. Being an old Veteran
of the Civil War, little exposure or
cold settles on my kidneys, and then
I am laid up with kidney or bladder
trouble. DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root was
recommended to me number OF years
ago, and | took number of bottles Of it
and was more than pleased with the re
suits. l consider Swamp-Root the great.
est and best kidney medicine on the
market and it never fails to give quick
results in kidney trouble, bladder trouble
and lame back.
DR.. Kimers Swamp Root has done me
SO much good that l feel if any words Of
mine will be the means of relieving any
poor sufferers, that YOU are at liberty to
use this letter you see fit.

She smiled and nodded. She was

Her stalwart body and her wholesome
rosy face were pleasant for sick eyes
to look upon. Yes. you've come

the doctor left an hour ago he said we
had pulled you safely around the cor

for me is to see you are kept quiet and

with laugh.

A pathetic eagerness came into his
face; then it grew still with the grav-

about his mouth crept the old dogged

MANY CASES OF

Says We Must Keep Feet Dry,
Avoid Exposure and Eat
Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid X
posture, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots Of water, and above all take
q spoonful of salts occasionally to
keep down uric acid. 2
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene.
rated in the bowels and absorbed hto
the blood. 1t is the function Of the
Kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast 1t out in the urine.
The pores Of the skin are also a means
Of freeing the blood of this impurity.
In damp and chilly, cold weather the
skin pores are closed, thus forcing the
kidneys to do double work, they be.
come weak and sluggish and fail to
eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon.
full In a gless of water and drink
before Breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor
NAL action, thus Kidding the blood
Of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas

which overcomes uric acid and is
beneficial to your kidneys as well.-

is apparent is q range of duties FAR
wider than that of any other arm OF
