When the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse the
blood sufficiently, and the polson9 are
carried to all parts of the body. There
follow depression, aches and pains, heavi'
ness, drowsiness, irritability, headaches,
chilliness and rheumatism. In some peo-
pie there are sharp pains in the back
and loins, distressing bladder disorders
and sometimes obstinate dropsy. The
uric acid sometimes forms into gravel
or kidney stones. When the uric acid
affects the tissues, muscles and joints,
IL causes lumbago, rheumatism, govt OF
sciatica. This Is the time to try Anuric,

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would adj
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

FRENCH REPULSE GERMANS
French Stop Violent Attack In Region
OF verdun-Bitter Fighting caus-
co Intense Suffering BY All
the BellIgerents.

With the British Armies in France
Germany made surprise attack
over practically the entire arc which
her troops lost In Gen. Byng's surprise
drive. Taking her cue from the Brit
fish victory, the Germans wasted no ar
tillery preparations. The first tremen-
dous blows pressed the British back in
few places, all of which has been re-
claimed.
At Gouzeacourt the German assault
was like bolt out of the blue A min
ute before the town was as quiet as q
churchyard. British officers were eat
ing breakfast, lounging around, bath
ing, shaving.
Suddenly there was burst of rifle
fire in the streets. Those who looked
out saw the Prussians pouring into
the city. One officer was in tub,
taking his bath, covered with lather.
He grabbed bath towel and escaped,
stark naked.
A British dressing station for
wounded at Gouzeacourt was suddenly
surrounded. Headquarters reports
the rush of the enemy later made their
escape when British troops drove the
Germans out again. In that interval
of German occupation the enemy hur-
riedly carried off all surgical materi-
ais of the station.
1t was reported at headquarters that
the Germans had taken a considerable
number of guns. The British, however,
recaptured many of them. One British
battery of six-inch howitZers spied the
Germans suddenly coming over the
top of hill a few score yards distant.
The gunners yanked down the muz-
zles of their guns, fired point blank at
the advancing wave and then bolted.
There were many other instances
where British gunners, after firing
point blank on the enemy up to 800
yards range, escaped, then joined the
infantry, and, by counter attacking, re-
captured their own guns.
Two great attacks have been deliv-
cred. One extended from Moeuvres to
Bourbon wood; the other was along
approximately a 12,000-yard front be-
tween Vendhulle on the south and Gre
veecouer on the north. Both assaults
were made in very strong force and
the infantry was supported by fire
from newly concentrated German
guns.
In the northern attack the Germans
succeeded in pushing down between
Moeuvres and Bourbon wood for con-
siderable distance, but were hurled
back by counter-attack after particu-
larly sanguinary fighting. The line
in this section is now virtually as it
stood before the Germans attacked.
In the southern battle the Germans
broke through the British front south
of Where Guisiain and, by executing
a turning movement to the north, sue
ceeded in enveloping Gauche wood,
Gouzeaucourt, Genneliu and La Vac
querie temporarily.

rEuT0NS SUFFER BIG LOSS
British and French Armies On italian
Front and VIII Operate As sepa-
rate Unlts-Teutons Attack
italian Positions In Albania.

London.-The long rumored turn OF
the Italian armies In the offensive IS
indicated in late official communica-
tons from both Berlin and Rome.
From the report of observers who
have been allowed to visit the battle
front much may be taken to assume
that such is the plan of Diaz and his
generals. Great masses of infantry re-
serves have been brought up, together
with a marked concentration OF big
guns.
1t is very doubtful if any major OPP
Grafton on the part Of the Italians
would be directed along the Piavc
front, but along the line between the
Bretna and the Pave the Italians
have carried out several feinting ope
rations in an endeavor to determine
the strength of the enemy. 1t is prob
able that any offensive would be d.
rected at this point.
With the arrival of the Anglo
French reinforcements the whole sit
uation has taken turn for the bet
ter. The announcement by Gen. Maui
rice, British director of the bureau OF
military operations, that the crisis In
Italy had passed, was taken by many
experts to indicate that the situation
had taken a most encouraging and
hopeful aspect.
Both the British army under Gen
Blumer and the French under Gen.
Mayerole are real armies in every
sense Of the word. They are fresh,
and were not merely sent for the sake
of a reinforcement in the general
sense of the word. They are there for
the definite purpose of operating as
separate units.
Berlin in its official report admits
that the Italians have successfully
conducted heavy attacks against their
positions on the west bank of the
Brenta and on Monte Tomba (on the
northern 'front.'. These attacks failed.
according to the German communica-
ton, but they bear out the theory now
advanced that the Italians are putting
out feelers in the hope of locating a
weak spot in the enemy line.
According to Rome there has been
heavy artillery fire along the entire
front, but no infantry engagement II
