JUST MATTER OF PERCENTAGE
Legislator Had Figured Out Method
by Which He Voted Right in Ma.
jority Of Cases.

During the last session of western
legislature one member, tall, angu-
lar man with white mustache of the
walrus pattern and the faculty of be
ing able to throw both his thumbs out
of joint at will, made himself conspic-
uous by voting "No" on every bill, res
olution, or other form of business that
came up. However innocent meas
ure might be, this man voted against 1t
stentoriously.
Finally legislator weakened under
the strain and approached the gentle
man with the walrus whiskers.
"Why is it2" asked the man, shat
you vote No on everything"
"I'll tell you," said he Of the walrus
mustache, with confidential air. "Sev-
enty-fve of those bills and resolutions
are bad and ought never to be passed.
And / iigger that any man who votes
right 75 per cent of the time is pretty
burned good legislator"

Uric Acid Poisoning /?

The most eminent physicians recog
nize that uric acid stored up In the
system is the cause OF rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison is present In
the joints, muscles, or nerves. By ex-
perimenting and analysis at the In
vallds' Hotel and Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, N. Y, DR.. Pierce discovered a
combination Of native remedies that he
called Anurlc-whlch drives out the
uric acid from the system, and In this
way the pain, swelling and inhamma-
ton subslde. II you are sufferer from
rheumatism, backache, pains here or
there. you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from tie
pains and ills brought about by uric
acid; or send DIR. Pierce 10c for trial
pkg. Anuric which you will find many
times more potent than llthia and
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial viii convince you.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
swamp-R0 DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
tion, 0verc0mes Kidney Trouble

Il is now conceded by physicians that
tbe kidneys should have more attention
a. they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount Of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
6ltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as.
,istance when needed. We take less ex.
,rcise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick.
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid.
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri.
yate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get a bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Bnghamton, n Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. ADV.
