All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. 3>2JU A The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil­ ter sut the waste er impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu­ matism come from ex­ cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin­ ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty- cent and one-dollar siz- es. You may have sample bottle by mail Homo ut s»-uui-ic.>ot. free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

CHANGE OF LIFE Between the Ages of Forty and Fifty l« m Critical Time of Life Iter bcM» MEN AND WOMEN Kidney Diseases Cause Many Death* During this Poriious Period m *1 -y It Is not generally known that the bodies of men as well as women usually undergo * great changes between the ages of forty and fifty. With some the period com- mencea earlier and with others it is ex- tended later. With all it is marked by the •' overloading of the blood with impurities "'p$, arising from the marked changes that are taking place. The kidneys that filter the blood often become weak during this ' period, and the poisons they should have eliminated are carried everywhere with ;v jlfl the blood, causing a train of symptoms * ||| that Indicate certain death unless their ;1^|§ cause is removed. . ti Here are some of the Indications that , the kidneys are overburdened and break- , ';M ing down: flashes of heat over the face or body, backache, headache, tired feelings, . indigestion, nervousness, heaviness and pains in the feet and legs, swelling of the f e e t a n d a n k l e s , c h i l l y s e n s a t i o n s , l o s s o f . : weight, irregular flow of urine, which " may be cloudy or give a sediment on standing, hot and dry skin, coated tongue. ; When any of the above symptoms are noticed, then look out for the kidneys, We know of nothing so certain to act as ~ the right thing in the right place as FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURB. It is composed , of the best known agents recommended by the highest authorities on kidney vJa troubles. It is an honest preparation and one that is thoroughly reliable in all cases. ^ N. H.
