DO YOU SUFFER- * 7
FROM BACKACHE?


When your kidneys are weak and
torpid they do not properly perform
their functions. your back aches
and you do not feel like doing much
OF anything. You are likely to be
respondent and to borrow trouble.
Just as II you hadn't enough al
ready. Don't be a victim any longer.
The old reliable medicine, Hoods
Sarsaparilla, gives strength and tone
to the kidneys and builds up the whole
system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is a peculiar
combination Of roots. banks and herbs.
No other medicine acts like 1t, because
no other medicine has the same form
ula or ingredients. Accept no substi-
tute. but insist on having Hoods, and
get it today.-Adv.

SOCIETY PLACES BLAME
FOR ADDICTION TO DRUGS
Responsibility Laid squarely on
Shoulders of Medical Schools and
Practicing Physicians.

Responsibility for much of the drug
addiction of today was placed squarely
on the shoulders of the medical schools
and the practicing physicians at the
morning session Of tho American So
clety for the Study of Alcohol and
Other Narcotics, in session at the Ra-
leigh Hotel
Dr. oscar NJ. Lesser, director of the
bureau OF public health education, New
YORK city, said the first thing for the
medical profession to do in its efforts
to eliminate drug addiction was ito
clean its own skirts first" He de-
clared the medical schools do not give
enough time to practical prescription
writing, upon graduation the physician
goes to hospital where he uses stock
solutions, and when he goes into prac-
tlce and patient comes to him, in
stead OF sitting down and writing a
practical prescription he will prescribe
some patent medicine which contains
elther alcohol or opium or both. In
