Harrisburg Druggists Amazing
Message to Dyspeptics
Don't Diet Eat All You Want and Take B-nesia Money Back
If 1t Fals'-George A. Gorgas

Everybody in Harrisburg knows
George A. Gorgas; that his word is
as good as his bond Therefore,
chronic dyspeptics, sufferers from
indigestion, gastritis, acidity, gas.
ETC., who have suffered untold ag-
onies and spent large sums without
obtaining relief. will certainly be in
terested in this amazing offer.
Some Plain Common Sense. If
you paid a tailor for a suit of clothes
and when you called for it he should
say: II spoiled the material you
paid for, but if you will pay me for
another suit 1 think 1 can do better
next time" you wouldn't stand for
1t a minute. Yet this is the sort of
Heads 1 win, tails you lose" propo-
sition under which millions of stom-
ach sufferers have been paying out
good money for the last hundred
years
All this is now changed. In
Bi-nesia we have a product so good
so quick and positive in its action
that a binding guarantee of money
back If it fails is enclosed with
every package. Bi-nesia is not a
"cure-all." There are occasional
cases in which 1t fails to give relief,
but they are so rare that we feel
justified in claiming that in over 95
cases out of every 100 it will give
wonderfully satisfactory results.

A SPOONFUL OF
SALTS RELIEVES
ACHING KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat, which
clogs Kidneys, says
noted authority
If back hurts or Bladder bothers,
stop all meat for
while

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort of paralyZed
and loggy. When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels;
removing all the body's urinous
waste, else you have backache, sick
headache. dizzy spells; your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when
the weather is bad you have rheu-
matte twinges. The urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, channels often get
sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will
t1en act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia.
and has been used for generations TO
clean and stimulate sluggish kid
neys, also to neutralize acids in the
urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.

lar meat eaters 1t is inexpensive.

TOR three long years our front

land is quite flat around it.

our firing trench, and within two or
three hundred yards of the German

looking across the waste of No Man $

der his left are British soldiers hold
ing the line. Two "dud" shells lie
at the foot; one is even touching the
wood; but though hundreds of shells
must have swept by, and millions of
machine gun bullets, it remains un-
damaged. Trenches form a laby-

following ends:
"1-Emphasze the high purposes

"4-Plan the foundations for

In performance of these vital
functions the league has carried on
an extensive work both abroad and
at home. The principal literature Of
