THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER
 SUSPECT IT
Applicants For Insurance Often
 Reflected

Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very sue cessful in overcoming these condi tions. The mild and healing in fluence of pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the high est for it's remarkable record of sue cess.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing state ment that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are reject ed is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, med ium and large.
 However, if you wish to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer &Co., Binghamton, N. r., for a sample bottle. When writ ing be sure and mention the Alaska Daily Empire. Juneau, Alaska.-adv.

TAKE SALTS TO
 FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If You Feel Back achy or Bladder Troubles You
 Salts Is Fine for Kidneys

Meat forms uric acid which ex- cites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system Regular caters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must relieve them like you re- lieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney re- zion, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stom- ach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheu- matic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinious waste get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimu late sluggish kidneys and stop blad- der irritation. lad Salts is ineX- pensiye; harmless and makes de- lightful effervescent Whitewater drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoiding serious kidney and blad- der diseases.

Rupture Kills
1000 Annually

Seven thousand persons each year are
laid away-the burial certificates being
marked Rupture" Why? Because the
unfortunate ones had neglected themselves
or had been merely taking care of the
sign (swelling) of the affliction and pay
ing no attention to the cause. What ars
you doing? Are you neglecting yourself
by wearing a truss. appliance, or what
ever name you choose to call it? At best.
the truss is only a makeshift-a false
prop against q collapsing wall-and can
not be expected to act as more than
mere mechanical support. The binding
pressure retards blood circulation. thus
robbing the weakened muscles Of that
which they need most-nourishment.
But science has found way, and every
truss sufferer in the land is invited to
make a FREE test right in the privacy
of their own home. The PLAPAO method
is nquestionably the most scientific, logi-
cal and successful self-treatment for rup-
ture the world has ever known.
The PLAPAO PAD when adhering
closely to the body cannot possibly slip or
shift out of place, therefore, cannot chafe
or pinch. Soft velvet-easy to apply
inexpensive. To be used whilst you work
and whilst you sleep. No straps, buckles
or springs attached.
Learn how to close the hernial opening
as nature intended so the rupture CAN'T
