Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica.
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

You become nervous, despondent, sick,
feverish, irritable, have spots appearing
before the eyes, bagsunder the lids, and lack
ambition to do things.
The latest and most effective means OF
overcoming this trouble, is to eat sparingly
of meat, drink plenty of water between
meals and take single Anuric tablet before
each meal for while.
Simply ask your druggist for Anuric
(anti-uric-acid) II you aren't feeling up to
the standard. If you have lumbago, rheu-
matism, dropsy, begin Immediately this
treatment with Anuric.
The physicians and specialists at DR..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. "
have thoroughly tested this prescription
and have been with one accord successful in
eradicating these troubles.
Patients having once used Anuric at the
institution have repeatedly sent back for
more. Such demand has been created
that Doctor Pierce decided to put Anuric in
the drug stores Of this country, in ready
to-use form.
Omaha, Nebr.-'I ached all over and
felt so badly that could not sleep at night,
my bladder seemed weak, gave me consid-
erable trouble, and caused stinging sensa-
tions. I read an advertisement of DR..
Pierce's Anuric (anti-uric-acid) and pur-
chased bottle. 1t was only a few days

THREE OFFICERS SHOT BY BAN

KILLED.
FIGHT IN DARK ROOM
ONE POLICEMAN DYING FROM
WOUNDS RECEIVED IN
FIGHT.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver, Feb. 6.--Policeman James
f. BoggiO is dying, two companion Of
ficers, Sergt Jeremiah M. Barry and
Detective George Schneider, are
wounded, and a gunman, Adrian Pearl
Thompson, q, is dead, following des-
perate battle which occurred in a dark
ened house at 1884 West Forty-sixth
avenue when officers called there to
arrest young Thompson on a charge
Of stealing tools in Adams county.
The four policemen drove to the
house and entered by both the front
and rear doors. The mother and her
son, Albert Thompson, 90 showed the
police about the house and thorough
search failed to reveal the hunted man.
The mother, according to the police,
was insistent that her boy was out of
town.
The officers asked to see the base
ment and their request was complied
WITH three of them-Barry, BOggiO
and Chuven-inspecting the quarters
Meanwhile Schneider had Stumh!ed
upon blind stairway leading to an
attic. Without calling the other Of
ficers he mounted the stairs and be-
gan a search of a small room at the
sop, using his searchlight to penetrate
the darkness.
Suddenly he felt a revolver thrust at
his side and heard the words, You've
got me. | know | am Il gOner, but so
are yOu-March - With this the per-
son instructed Schneider to enter a
small room and as he did SO the Of
ficer quickly slammed the door shut
with his foot, leaving the gunman on
the outside.
The other three policemen failing to
find any trace Of Thompson in the
basement and thinking perhaps. that
the mother was truthful about her
sons absence, prepared to leave the
house, expecting to find Schneider
waiting outside. Then they heard the
the muffled cry, "Look out, Sarge !
He's got me -
Instantly the thought that Schneider
was being held at pistol point in some
unknown recess of the house dawned
on the three and they started back in
side. Chuven was the first to enter
the kitchen, into which the door to the
attic opened His progress was barred
by Mrs. Thompson, who, armed with a
heavy iron bar, began to beat him
about the head Then BOggio entered
the kitchen At the top of the small
stairs Thompson, gun in hand,
crouched waiting for the door to open
as his signal to open fire.
BoggiO opened the door and stepped
inside. AS he put his foot on the first
step he was met by a vOlley of shots.
Sergeant Barry, leaving Chuven to at
tend to Mrs Thompson and her son,
Albert Thompson, dashed through the
narrow door just in time to see BOggiO
fall.
Then Barry fired, and Schneider,
hearing the shots directed at BoggiO,
released himself He could discern the
gunman, a dim form in the darkness,
crouching at the top of the stairs.
Thompson returned "a shot at Barry,
the bullet striking him in the hip. Sim
ultaneOusly, both Schneider and Barry
emptied their guns at Thompson, who
crumpled in heap.
