WHY KIDNEY DISEASE I
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease.
i
It is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
•Kidncry 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
1 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,
j digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
j matters of small moment in the estima
j lion of strong men and women, yet they
i have a serious meaning. They show
| clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
i coming at once to prevent serious, per
I haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
1 prove of incalculable value in restoring
! tbe weakened organs to health. An
! investment of one dollar in a bottle of
! Prickly Ash Bitters when tlie disease is
j yet in tlie early stage will save hundreds
; of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
j suffering that would surely followshould
i the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
1 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, jn 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.

INDEPENDENT’S
BABY CONTEST.
Here is the proposition and the
rules governing the contest:
There is a handsome $25.00
solid gold locket with diamond |
setting and solid gold cha^n, on
display at the Palace Jewelry i
store, to be given away Decern-1
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boy
or girl under two years of age,
who wins the highest number of
votes as the prettiest and sweet
est baby. Now the baby that is
not pretty is surely sweet, and
if the wee tot be a little cross at
(times, beauty must offset this
badness. Fond parents at least
are expected to think their ba
bies are both sweet and beauti
ful, and so they do. But to set- j
tie once for all the claims of the!
under two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
the Independent has inaugurated
a contest that is to be determined J
by that cherished right, popular
ballot, and in accordance with
the following rules:
