prevention’ check the progress of the

“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
do nothing to arrest the course of the
disease until it is well advanced.”
* ‘ What is the origi n of kidney trouble? ’ ’
“Almost invariably bad digestion, fol
lowed by torpid liver and a constipab d.
habit.”
“What are the symptoms?”
“Headache, dizzy speHs, sluggish
brain, restless nights,, pale or sallow
fckiu, bad breath, lack of appetite, heart
burn, sour belching, backache or tender<
ness over the kidneys, nervous weak

A popular official of the South

However, the softer accent of the

ITS EFFECT ON THE HEART.
“In what way is the heart affected frott
kidney trouble?”
“In all cases the heart is disturbed,
though in many instances the palpita
tion does not become alarming until tbs
disease has advanced to a serious point.
A severe heart throbbing and nervous
trembling is noticeable, especially after
a little bodily exercise; the victim fre
quently imagines he has heart disease.”
HOW TO CURE IT,
A
“What is the_proper course of treat
ment for kidney disease?”
“First, to get rid of uric acid and other
poisons in the system. This can be done
by stimulating the bladder and bowels
so that they will act more freely. The
suffering kidneys must be strengthened,
•lie liver and stomach toned up and the
digestion improved.” - - - * ■

clamation, the letter or the nu
meral “Five” has been the cause
of more telephone difficulty than
any other in distinct calling.
“Five’ and “nine” sound very
much alike to Central. Often it
is impossible to distinguish
them.
Under the circumstances no
thing remains to be done except
to change the pronunciation of
an accepted word in the English
anguage. Already thousands of
people say “Fife” just as so
many more trill the “r” in
‘Three.”
Practically every telephone
operator in the United States
has contracted these habits and
so a great number of telephone
users.
“Twenty years hence,” says
the telephone expert, “There will
be no such word as ‘Five’ pro
nounced as' now and the word
Three’ will have a genuine can
ary bird trill to give it charac
ter.”
