A PHYSICIAN'S DIAGNOSIS 01
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
{
A Seemingly Common Disease
which Becomes Fatal through
Negiect and which May Be
Readily Cured by Prompt At
tention.
More tlinv two-thirds of the annual
death rate, puysiciaus claim, is directly
traceable to kidney disorders.
Interested by this remarkable asser
tion and desiring to acquire a better un
derstanding of the origin of the disease,
a prominent physician was recently in
terviewed as to the symptoms of such
troubles.
“To what do you attribute the great
destructiveness of kidney disease?” was
asked.
“The hold which the disease gains in
the body before the victim becomes aware
of his true condition, and the rapidity
with which it eats its way into the vital
organs.”
“Would not the proverbial ‘ounce of
prevention’ check the progress of th«
disease?”
“There is no doubt of it. The trouble
is that victims of this disease mistake
the symptoms for some trifling ailment
in the stomach or bowels; therefore they j
do nothing to arrest the course of the
disease until it is well advanced.”
“What is the origin of kidney trouble? ’
“Almost invariably bad digestion, fol
lowed by torpid liver and a constipated
habit.”
' What are the symptoms?”
“Headache, dizzy spells, s'uggisl
brain, restless nights, pale or sallow
skin, bad breath, lack of appetite, heart
burn, sour belching, backache or tender,
ness over the kidneys, nervous weak
ness, dark rings around the eyes, tired
feeling, too much or too little urine, and
sediment in urine.”
ITS EFFECT ON THE HEART.
“In what way is the heart affected from
kidney trouble?”
“In all cases the heart is disturbed,
though in many instances the palpita
tion does not become alarming until the
disease has advanced to a serious point.
A severe heart throbbing and nervous
trembling is noticeable, especially aftei
a little bodily exercise; the victim fre
quently imagines he has heart disease/
HOW TO CURE IT.
“What is the proper course of treat
ment for kidney disoase?”
“First, to get rid of uric acid and other
poisons in the system. This can be done
by stimulating the bladder and bowels
go that they will act more freely. The
suffering kidneys must be strengthened,
the liver and stomach toned up and the
digestion improved.”
Prickly Ash Bitters is a remedy that
answers these requirements completely.
It is not only a system tonic and regu
lator, but its healing and restorative in
fluence will build up the weakened kid
neys and urge them to a better perform
ance of their duties. It gives strength
and tone to the liver, stomach and heart
and promotes harmony of action through
out the body.
M. W. Burr, village blacksmith and respected
Citizen of Starks, La., says: "I was troubled with
kidney and liver disorder for 18 years. I was In
continual misery until 1 began taking Prickly
Ash Bitters which has entirely cured me, and 1
am now a strong, healthy and hearty man. 1
give it to my wife and four children and they ar'
in the test of health, too. I feel that Prickly Asi.
Bitters ra the best remedy on earth and tha
everybody should keep a bottle at home."

CALLED LOW CLASS OF ART j
Sweeping Indictment of Music to
Which Song "Home, Sweet Home"
Has Been Set. I
Though the oldest piece of English
music in existence, "Summer is icu- '
men in" is quite modern in compari
son with a score of the "Orestes' of
Euripides, dating from the fourth cen
tury B. which was exhibited at the
international exhibition of music at ]
Vienna some years ago. Even more
ancient is the chant "The Blessing of
the Priest,” which was sung in the
temple of Jerusalem before the captiv- y
ity, and is still in use in the Jewish
synagogues In Spain and Portugal.
"Home, Sweet Home"—the song of a
homeless American -once moved Hob
ert Bouis Stevenson to an outburst of
passionate protest. But it was the
music rather than the words that
roused his indignation. You will find
the passage In "Across the Plains":
I have no idea whether musically tills
air is to be considered good or bad; -
but it belongs to that class of art
which may best be described as a bru
tal assault upon the feelings. Pathos f
must be relieved by dignity of treat
ment, declares an English writer. If
you wallow naked In the pathetic, like 1
the author of “Home, Sweet Home,"
you make your hearers weep in an un- ^
manly fashion, and even yet while
they are moved they despise them
selves and hate the occasion of their
weakness.
PREPARE MEAT FOR SHIPMENT
South American Frigorif'cos Will Soon <
Be Turning Out an Immense
Supply of Food.
A frigorlfico Is ft freezing plant in
South America. It is a plant thnt
freezes fat cattle or sheep or lambs
and sends them In refrigerated ships
northward to Europe. Perhaps later ,
they will send them to the United
States.
On the Island of Tierra del Fuego,
far south to the jumping off place,
sheep get very fat on the good grass.
Incredible as it may seem, a Bhort
time ago fine fat sheep were boiled
down for their tallow. Now a mod
ern frigorifico is prepared to kill them
and send them north of the equator.
There is another of these newly erect- ■
ed frigorlficos at Rio Gallegos, an
other a little way up the coast at San
Julian and other new ones nro at '
Bahia Blanca.
These frigorlficos make possible the
directing of a great stream of good
lamb and mature mutton northward,
and we here may expect to see it
come, sooner or later. Cattle are not
killed at these southern frlgorificos,
but farther north, near Buenos Aires .
and in Uruguay are great establish
ments that kill chiefly cattle. To faciU- 1
tate the getting of sheep to the j
frlgorificos the government is build
ing the Patagonia state railways, lead- 1
lug to the interior.—Breeders’ Gazette. 1

Ownership of Land Accretion.
The title of an owner of land to any
accretions to the land was the ques
tion presented to the supreme court :
of appeals of Virginia in Eggborn vs.
Smith, in which Interesting decisions
on the point involved are cited. In the
Virginia case the plaintiff s husband
for a consideration permitted a rail
road company to deposit rock and
earth on land owned by him during
double-tracking work, under contract
that all such material not removed be
fore the work was completed should
remain permanently. The owner exe
cuted a deed of trust of the land with
out serving the material so deposited,
but on the day the property was sold
under foreclosure of the trust deed
he attempted to convey the material
as personalty to the complainant. The
court found that the complainant had
made no claim to the property until
live years after Its deposit, when It
was overgrown with vegetation, and
held that “the material was realty and
not personal property, and passed to
ths purchaser on foreclosure of the
trust deed.”

Honor Man Struck by Lightning.
To be struck by lightning la still a
most lucky thing for the Greek peas
ant—If be Is not killed. Such a man,
says J. C. Lawson, “may Indulge a
taste for Idleness for the rest of his
life—his neighbors will support him—
and enjoy at the same time the rep
utation of being something more than
human.” This Is an inheritance from
ancient days. Artemldorus, an au
thority on occult matters wbo flourish
ed In the time of Marcus Aurelius,
commented on the fact that while a
place was struck by lightning had an
altar erected upon It, and was thence
forth both honored and avoided, "no
one who has been struck by light
ning is excluded from citizenship; In
deed, such a one is honored even as
a god.” The election of Quintus Ju
lius Eburnus to the consulship in 116
B. C. is attributed to his having been
favored thus by the gods.
-ong-Llved Mines and Profits.
Are long-lived mines more profitable
than short-lived ones? The average
investor would consider this a foolish
question, assuming naturally that the
longer a mine lasts the greater the ac
cumulated profits.
Just about the contrary 1b the case.
The figures supplied by the mines de
partment of Johannesburg, where the
regularity of deposits on the Rand
makes It possible to guage the lives of
mines with accuracy, should convince
the skeptic that owing to.compound in
terest a long life does not add to the
value of a mine to the extent oommon
ly assumed.—Engineering and Mining

Made Will Before Killing.
Mountain Home, Feb. 4.— A
woman’s intuition must have
told Mrs. Gill Siler, who was kill
ed near here last Friday, that
she would never leave the dis
puted land alive. It developed
today that she left her barricade
in the henhouse long enough
to make her will. About mid
night, according to Will Creel,
a neighbor, she came to his
house and made her will, leav
ing all her property to her little
girl. She left early in the morn
ing and went back to the Siler
place.
Attorneys tor tne uetenaants
examined the Siler house today,
looking for bullet holes where, it
had been said she shot into the
house. They say they found
such holes.
The inquest will last through
tomorrow, closing likely late in
the afternoon. From the fact
that Gill Siler and Jenk Phillips
were released it is evident that
only Will Siler and his father
will be held for the crime.
The inquest continues to hold_
an intense interest in this coun
ty. The courtroom was guarded
today closer than ever, no one
being allowed to enter except
the sheriff, the jury, the witness
es, the justice of the peace and
the state’s attorney.
Gill Siler, husband of the dead
woman and Jenks Phillips, who
have been held under guard,
were released today. No evi
dence leaked out of the court
room. All the witnesses and the
jurors had been cautioned about
talking. The lawyer for the de
fense made a strenuous effort to
be admitted, but was refused.
Roman Method of Heating.
Like many other Roman houses
that have been unearthed In England,
one recently brought to light was
heated by a system called “hypo
caust.” The entire basement was
one big furnace, from which flues as
cended, built Into the walls. A wood
fire was kept In the basement, the fuel
being fed In from an outside annex,
through an arch In the wall.
