Get New Kidneys !

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of filtering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begir to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease. for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
1t is the pure, original HARLEM Oil your
great-grandmother used. About two cap
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store, and
II 1T does not give you almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded Be
sure you get the GOLD MEDAL brand.
None other genuine. In boxes, three
sizes.-Adv.

ages and for grown-ups plainly on the

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
II the Kidneys are not in healthy
condition. they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle inn
mediately from any drug store.

once more demonstrated by Ed Strain

Of st. Benedict, producing bale of
cotton an acre on cut-over land brok-

SPANISH INFLUENZA WHAT IT IS
AND HOW IT SHOULD Be TREATED
Nothing New Simply the Old Grip or La Grippe That
Wa. Epidemic in 1SS9-9O, Only Then 1t Came
From Russia by Way of France and
This Time by Way of Spain
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining OF
the air passages 10 throw off the grippe
germs, TO aid in loosening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing easier, Vick's
VapoRub will be found effective. Hot,
wet towels should be applied over the
throat, chest and back between the
shoulder blades TO open the pores
Then VapoRub should be rubbed in
over the parts until the skin Is red,
spread on thickly and cover with two
thicknesses of hot flannel cloths Leave
the clothing loose around the neck, as
the heat of the body liberates the in
gradients in the form Of vapors.
These vapors. inhaled with each breath.
carry the medication directly to the
parts affected. At the same time
VapORub is absorbed through and
stimulates the skin. attracting the
blood TO the surface, and thus aids
in relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this IN
n germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing. sneeZing or splitting. So
avoid persons having cOlds--whlch
drinking cups. roller towels, etc. Keep
mp your bodily strength by plenty OF
exercise in the open air, and good food.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first
sign Of a cold. For head cold, melt a
little VapORub In spoon and inhale
the vapOrs, or better still, use VapO-
Rub in q benZoin steam kettle. II this
is not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half-full of boiling wa
ter. put in half teaspoon Of VapoRub
from time TO time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
Note-Vick's vapoRub is the dis
covery Of North Carolina druggist,
who found how TO combine, in salve
form, Mcnthol and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Gu
bebs, ETC.. so that when the salve is APP
piled TO the body heat, these ingredi-
ents are liberated in the form of va
pors.
VapoRub is comparatively new in
New York State and New England and
few Western states where it is just
now being introduced, but in other sec
lions of the country it is the standard
home remedy in more than a million
homes for all forms of cold troubles.
Over six million Jars were sold last
year. vapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists. 1t is particular
ly recommended for children's Group
and colds, since it is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmful
effects.

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

Spanish influenza, which appeared in
Spain in May, has all the appearances
Of grip, or In grippe, which has swept
over the world In numerous epidemics
as far back as history runs. Hippoc-
rates refers to an epidemic in 412
b. c., which is regarded by many to
have been influenza. Every century
has had it's attacks. Beginning with
1881 this country has had five epidem-
les, the last in 1SS9-90.
There Is no occasion for panic-infiu-
enZa itself has very low percentage
of fatalities-not over one death out
of every 400 cases, according to the
\. G. board of health. The chief danger
lies in complications arising attack
ing principally patients in a rundown
condition-those who don't go to bed
soon enough or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as II is now called,
usually begins with n. chill. followed by
aching, feverishnesS. and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and a general
feeling of weakness and depression.
The temperature is from 100 to 1O4,
and the fever usually lasts from three
to five days. The germs attack the
mucous membrane or lining Of the air
passages, nose, throat and bronchial
tubes; there is usually a hard cough.
especially bad Mt night; oftentimes a
sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently
all the appearances of a severe head
cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to he'd at the first symptoms, not
only for your own sake, hut to avoid
spreading the disease to others--take
Il purgative. eat plenty of nourishing
food. remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's
Powders, etc, may be administered by
the physicians directions 10 relieve the
aching. But there is no cure or Spe-
cific for influenza-the disease must
run it's course. Nature herself will
throw off the attack If only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakenS the bodily
resistance that there is danger Of pneu-
rionia or bronchitis developing, and
sometimes inflammation of the middle
ear. or heart affections. For these rea-
sons ii is very important that the
patient remain i'm bed until his strength
returns-stay in bed at least two days
or more after the fever has left you, or
If you are over 80 or not strong stay
In bed four days or more, according to
the severity of the attack.
