KILLDEER WANTS
HOSPITAL OPENED

Killdeer is trying mighty hard to
get its new hospital started. A meet
ing was held in that town last week.
the trustees meeting with the citizens
to discuss ways to get the hospital
opened. 1t is believed by many there
that many lives have been lost while
patients were being transferred TO
hospitals in other places for treat
ment, whereas, if the hospital at Kill
deer had been in operation, those i'll
ones would have been spared the
hardships and discomfort Of being
moved while ill. Too, it is advanced
that so many physicians have gone
into Government service that there
are not enough doctors left in the
outside hospitals to give individual
attention to patients. No definite
plans were laid at the meeting last
week.

There are scores of people who drag
out a miserable existence without
realizing the cause Of their suffering.
Day after day they are racked with
backache and headache; suffer from
nervousness, dizziness, weakness,
languor and depression. Perhaps the
kidneys have fallen behind in their
work of fltering the blood and that
may be the root of the trouble. Look
to your kidneys assist them in their
work k-give them the help they need.
