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
nave a serious meaning. i uey snow
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must l>e 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 of
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
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
ttie 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 .1 in red on the front label.

A Good Work Completed.
Hob Springs, March 9.—After
eight years of active effort on
the part of residents of Hot
Springs to secure the filling of
two immense mud holes, digni
fied by the names of government
lakes, the work has been com
pleted by the federal govern
ment at a cost of $6,000, which
was appropriated by congress
two years ago for the purpose.
.The filling in of the holes
marh s the failure of a total ex
pense to Uncle Sam of about fif
teen thousand dollars, to give
the people off upper Washington
avenue a pleasant park with
artificial lakes, fishing, boating,
etc. After the lakes were com
pleted in 1897 it was found that
the water evaporated faster than
it ran in, and since that time
that vicinity has been plagued
with millions of mosquitoes,
snakes and frogs.
There have been nuncireas or
cases of malaria with scores of
deaths, and old residents have
been compelled to move away
from the neighborhood.
It required 25,000 wagon loads
of dirt to fill the lake beds, and
workmen have been engaged on
the job since last summer.

Having some things to say in
response to the action taken by 1
the congregational meeting on
the 4th Sabbath of February. I
am anxious to see a very full at
tendance of all our people to
morrow. A hearty welcome for
all who will worship with us.
Two suggestions if heeded will
be helpful: 1. The services be
gin at 11 a.m. and and 7:30 p.m.
and it is greatly helpful if every
one can be in place on time.
Sofrietimes late entrance is un
avoidable, but it can usually be
avoided by a timely effort; 2.
We have a board of excellent
ushers. It will help them in
their efforts if on entrance you
accept in full their attentions
and permit them to select your
pew for you. R. B. Willis,

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eastacian Tube. When this
; tube is inflamed you have a rum
! bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and un
| less the inflammation can be j
taken out and this tube restored |
j to its normal condition, hearing
' will be destroyed forever; nine j
; cases out of ten are caused by1
Catarrh, which is nothing but an j
inflamed condition of the mucous I
! surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be c red by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
