AN ATTACK OF GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited SO many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in a run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
airy troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report large sale on DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root which SO many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp-Root,
being an herbal compound, has gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, offer to send sam
pie size bottle of Swamp-Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need of it. Regular medi

CHECK HEAVY WATER FLOW
Side of Hills to Carry Flow to
Ends of Cut.

On the side hills where the flow of
water is heavy it should be kept from
reaching the road by constructing a
catch-drain q few feet back and above
the edge of the cut. This will carry the
water along to the ends of the cut and
thus keep it off the road. If the cut
is long one, the water in the catch
drain can be disposed Of at intervals
by dropping it through a pipe or gut
ter into the culverts.

aging the venture, but why forget the
women with their poultry and egg
produce? Why not carlot shipments of
poultry and eggs, allowing contribu-
tons in any amounts, from the small

The county agent responded by going
to his office and ordering circulars an
nouncing that cooperative shipment
of poultry would be made few days
later. 1t was a nSY and untried idea
in Carroll county, but he believed it
would go. 1t was explained In the cir
cular that the produce would be
shipped ON the same basis that hogs
had been handled-the total expense
of the shipment to be deducted from
the total receipts and the ba4dnce d.
vided according to the number of
pounds received from each contribu-

The following communication is be-

thy.
We hope that you will soon see the
amendment to the army medical law
which recognizes the osteOpaths.
want you to know why | am interest
cd in this amendment.
In the first place the osteOpaths are
asking no favors. They want TO take
the same examinations as the drug
man takes and To have his papers
graded by the same men. Last sum
mer Surgeon General Gorgas made
the ruling that four-year osteOpaths
were eligible To medical commissions.
Immediately ID OsteOpaths ayailed
themselves Of the opportunity and -
passed but were refused commissions.
Surely this proves their fitness.
] will enclose table of subjects
and hours required by one osteo-
pathic and two drug colleges.
The new school teaches everything
the old school does aside from the
drug training. Their surgical course
is as complete as that OF the best
medical schools. Their course requires
four years Of nine months each.
Surely after considering these facts
the osteopath has no business in the
trenches. How much greater service
they could render in the medical corp.
4 good many Osteopaths are privates
in the infantry now. The VI. D.'s are
not responding in sufficient numbers !:
according to the Medical Journal.
Look at the great service the Dental
corps is doing. They had the same
fight with the medical organization
that the osteopaths are having.
These men are anxious to serve
their country in the department in
which they will be most efficient.
thank YOU for your support of this
amendment
