COMMUNING WITH NATURE.
Mann Nash went out into the woods
With mil,tire to commune;
He longed to gather fragrant flow’rs;
To hear the^ophyis croon.
He saw a bulbous looking thing
That grew above his head;
"Ali, here is some new kind of limit!"
Unto himself he said.

Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidnevs Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every The three minutes.
m ifej •g. kidneys are j'our
blood purifiers, they fil¬
ter out the waste or
mwM 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
S v/amp .Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realised. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
