CHURCH HEALING IN u. S.
GIVEN STRONG IMPETUS
Baltimore Pastor Says Action il
England Will Advance Move
ment in America.
Special Dispatch to The star.

BALTIMORE, November l4.-An ad
vance in healing within the church
, not only in England but in this country
as we'll, is looked for by Rev. DR.. II.
+. Almon Abbott, rector of Grace and
st. Peters Protestant Episcopal
Church, by the appointment by the
Archbishop of Canterbury of Il perma.
nent committee to advise the church
on all matters relating to spiritual
healing questions.
DR.. Abbott conducts regular weekly
healing services. He has been con
Quoting the "clinic" at Grace and St.
Peters since the visit Of James Moore
Hickson of England six years ago.
Similar commissions have been at
work in the Episcopal Church of the
United States for six years, and ii is
DR.. Abhott's belief that the action in
England will have the effect of en-.
couraging the work here.
The movement has been one of slow
progression, and probably will CON
tinue TO be. he added. because a pre-
ponderanCe of the church members
look upon it with certain amount of
suspicion. and fear that it is born of
fanaticiSm.
'EmphatiCally. it is not fanaticism. q"
DIR. Abbott said In quiet sane
way we have engaged in the work
through conviction that the church
has a ministry for diseased sbodies as
we'll as for sin-laden souls. We do not
deny disease and we perform no mir
acles We believe, however, in the
efficacy OF prayer for the diseased
body as well as for the diseased soul
We offer no substitute for the work of
the physician. on the contrary, we
send people to the physician that the
whole gamut of cure may be put into
active operation"

Drugs Excite
the Kidneys,
Drink Water
Take Salts at First Sign of
Bladder Irritation or
Backache

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney trouble
because we often eat too much rich food.
Our blood is filed with acids which the
kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken
from overwork, become sluggish, the
eliminative tissues clog and the result
is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
0When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or if you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, begin drink
ing lots of good soft water and get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts. Take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys may then
act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice. com
bined with lithia, and has been used for
years to help flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys, to neutralize the acids IN the
system so they no longer are source
of irritation, thus often relieving dad
der disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not in
lure, makes a delightful effervescent
iithia-water drink and belongs in every
home, because nobody can make mis-
take by having a good kidney flushing
any time. By all means have your ply
sician examine your kidneys at least
twice year.

Evidence of Life Long
Before the Days of the
Bible Has Been Found
Skull of Man Living 10000 to $4,000
Years Ago Unearthed. Bones and
Implements Also Discovered.

SOUTHAMPTON, England.-The
skull of an ancient man who lived at
Capernaum some 10000 to 10000 years
before miracles began to be performed
there, may be taken as evidence that
Europe was the cradleland both OF men
and of his culture, Sir Arthur Keith,
famous anthropologist told the Brit
ish Association for the Advancement
OF Science today
The skull of which Sir Arthur spoke,
a model of which lay on the table be-
side him, is that discovered by Francis
Turville Petre, OF the British School
of Archaeology, a few months ago, in
a cave on the northern shore OF the
sea of Gallilee near the site of the an
Gent city of Capernaum, where Jesus
performed many Of His earlier mira
cles.
Together with the skull were found
bones and implements similar to those
relics of the Mousterian age found in
France.
This discovery, Sir Arthur said,
makes all the Biblically recorded
events which heretofore seemed to
mark the very beginning OF history,
become the happenings OF recent
days"
There is evidence, he said, that this
early man was capable of performing
a simple surgical operation, probably
by means OF stone instrument.
