WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease.
It is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have a serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of'Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle ol
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease ia
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 3 in red on the front label.
Sold at Drug Stores, $1.00 per bottle.

THE MULE AND THE MAN.
The mule—he is a gentle beast
He’s satisfied to be the least;
And so is man.
Like man he may be taught some
tricks;
He does his work from 8 to 6;
The mule—when he gets mad he
kicks;
And so does man.
The mule—he has a load to pull
He’s happiest when he is full;
And so is man.
Like man he holds a patien
poise,
And when his work’s done wTil
rejoice,
The mule—he likes to hear his
voice;
And so does man.
The mule—he has his faults, ’tis
true;
And so has man.
He does some things he should
not do;
And so does man.
Like man he doesn’t yearn for
style,
But wants contentment all the
while;
The mule—he has a lovely smile
And so has man. *•
The mule is sometimes kind and
good;
And so is man.
He eats all kinds of breakfast
food;
And so does man.
Like man he balks at gaudj
dress
And all outlandish foolishness;
The mule’s accused of mulish
ness;
And so is man.

fact, the publisher of Collier’s
Weekly, New York, induced Mr.
Doyle to write a final series of
the great detective’s adventures.
Repeated refusals were followed
by increased inducements, and
finally Mr. Doyle agreed to write
thirteen stories for $45,000, or
about 6C cents a word. The en

The amount paid by Collier’s is

stories are being printed in the
Kansas City Star, one story each

and in the weekly Wednesday,
February 15.
None of the present popular
