IT MAY COST A PRECIOUS LIFE TO
FIND OUT BY EXPERIMENT.

II NAY JUST PkECAOLS LIFE TO
FIND OUT BY EXPERIMENT.
The heart of every user Of tobacco
bears a double burden. 1t does its aliot-
ted task and then fights nicotine for
supremacy. As long the heart wins he
lives; when it loses he dies, but before
the final victory of nicotine you pass
through many stages of decline and decay
and suffer many pangs- Hearts are like
human beings-some are stronger than
others. therefore some hearts will stand
more tobacco than others. but there is a
limit to what any heart can stand. The
man who puts this additional strain on his
heart a dozen times a day by smoking
cigarettes. a pipe or cigarS-or chewing
tObacco-is taking a mad-mans chance
with health and life to lose and nothing to
win but the chance that be may not lose
them He is INDUCING in a costly habit
at the expense of precious health. Ask
any doctor anywhere. and he will tell you
that using tobacco is injurious and that
it is far better to quit the habit than
to experiment to find how much tobacco
your heart will stand without serious
results.
But the thought of quitting is IN
pleasant to most men-even to those who
know that tobacco Injuries them-and to
really quit takes more Will power than
they have and causes more suffering than
they can voluntarily endure. To quit the
habit make it easy for yourself by get

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 par
alyzed and loggy. When your kid
neys get sluggish and clog you must
relieve them, like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the body's urin-
Gus waste else you have backache,
sick headache, dizzy spells; your
stomach sours, tongue is coated, and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic 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.
