WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.

Neglect of the First Warning Symp

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,
tin; 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
re’iable kidney anil 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

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 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
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 I’rickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 3 in red on the front label.

Master Milton Meyer left Sat
urday for a visit at Little Rock.
The rainfall for the 48 hours
of bad drizzling weather preced
ing Monday morning totaled

cap the bad weather period, a
blizzard arrived Monday and the
merchants are again forced to
put spring goods on the shelf
for a season.
What Will 7ou Do Next?
Is the question confronting most
of those who. are in the public
schools or literary colleges. If
you are about through with
your literary education, you are
about ready to jump into the
business world to fight the bat
tles of financial success. Don't
venture out untrained and run
the risk of failure, when you
can, by spending a few months
time in a first class commercial
college, equip yourself with a
business training that will enable
you to study financial affairs in
telligently, to handle all commer
cial and legal papers successfully,
and if you have not the money
to invest in a business of your
own, it will enable you to go into
some first class office as book
keeper or stenographer at a good
salary, receiving the advantage
of the experience of the head of
tne nrm, ana not oniy securing
the money, but the practical
knowledge necessary to succeed
when entering business for your
self. Young ladies should secure
a commercial training, so that
they may be able to make an
honorable living for themselves,
or be able, in case property is
left them, to take care of it in a
business like manner. The fi
nancial success achieved by one
in any profession is due to his
business training.
Since at business we must
make our living, why not make
success more certain by spend
ing a few months in the Mem
phis Commercial College, 46 N.
Second street, Memphis, Tenn.,
the great commercial school that
is preparing and placing annually
hundreds and men and women
in responsible positions paying
many times the salary they were
previously earning. Write for

wan-faced sufferers were diatribu!
among the neat white cots of a medic
ward in Bellevue one day when a ne
patient was brought in. He was a
diminutive colored man, short, squat,
thick-set, black as ebony, with heavy
protruding lips and a bullet-shaped
head sparsely sprinkled with kinky
gray black hair. He said he was George
Smith, 33 years old, and was born in
“Loudon county, Virginy, sah.” All
was quiet in the ward save an occasion
al groan from some weary sufferer,
when the doctors, four of them', grave
faced and dignified, came to examine
the new arrival.
“Well, George, how do you feel?"
asked the house physician, bending
over the cot.
The little darky looked at the doctors
askance for a moment, rolled his big
eyes around, and said mournfully:
“I’se hungry.”
“Have you any pain?” asked the doc
vor.
“No, sail, ’ceptin’ I’se hungry.”
Then the doctors proceeded to make
the usual examination. In the middle
of his back they found a criss-cross
cicatrix.
“How did you get this?” the doctor
asked. '
“Cow-bunkle,” replied the patient,
tersely.
“Whac’a .his?” continued the inquis
itor, placing his finger on a big depres
sion in the calf of the patient’s leg.
“Uorg chawed it,” said Smith, apa
thetically.
A smile flitted across the faces of the
doctors and a patient in the next cot
forgot to moan. Next the physician
found a mass of irregular scars, which
looked as if an eight-inch shell had
exploded and left its marks upon thfe
patient’s face and neck.
“Explosion?” queried the doctor,
pointing to the spot.
“Mewl kicked me,” sa*"'. Smith with
a you-make-me-tired air.
Even the grave equanimity of the
men of medicine was disturbed, and pa
tients in adjacent cots laughed out
right.. Further examination showed a
network of scars on his face and neck
resembling the tracks in the New York
Central freight yards.
“Razer flte,” was Smith’s explana
tion.
“And where did you get these?” said
the doctor, with an amused smile, lay
ing his fingers on three big welts on the
negro’s scalp.
“Cakewalk. Kin I hev a chaw uv ter
