Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou-
Dles 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
pains. heaviness. drowsiness. irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
When the uric acid affects the muscles
and joints it causes lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt or sciatica. This is the time

ports that are bathed by the seven seas. The creation of these wonderfully
accurate tables is not in the hands of a corps of seasoned computers, for the
good reason that even the best of them would have to devote six months or
more to the labor of computing tide tables for a year for a single port In
stead, the work is done by a great 250Gpound machine of iron and brass
which stands, like the ytaLs Of a giant clock, in n of the room of the
coast and geodetic survey in Washington. The mechanical tide computer is
IL feet long, but only 2 feet wide, and stands as high Is a man. 1t is a SEEM
ing tumble of shafts, cams, sliding plates puleys and chains, but each of the
elements stands carefully in place as a very tangible representative Of a far
away force of the sn or moon, and registers figures that indicate the pull
which, months in the future, will result in the raise OF millions of tons of
water perhaps thousands of miles away.
When the tide tables for any locality are desired the numerous cranks
on the side of the machine are set in accordance with harmonic constants"
for the place, already known from observation, and the figures for the tables
are then secured by turning the principal crank of the apparatus. Whenever
the indicator reaches a maximum or a minimum the machine is automatically
stopped by an electromagnetic, and the operator merely ios down the hour
indicated by one dial and the feet and inches by another At the same time
a moving fountain pen draws o a turning roll of paper a curve of the tide
In these ways the machine turns out in from ten to fifteen hours the work
that would keep a mere human calculator busy for six months.
