A KANSAS WOMAN
Run-down —Nervous, Weak
City, Km.:—"I found Dr.
Pierce's medicines
wonderful kelp to
me during middle
life. At that time I
became all run
down, nervous and
was weak. I would
ha-re smothering
and dissy veils so
bad that I could
not stand up and
my back would
ache terribly all the
time. I took both
Dr. Pierce'sFavor
ite Prescription and
his "Golden Med­
ical Discovery' and these medicines built
me up, gave me strength, and brought ma
through the change in the best of health. I
am glad to recommend Dr. Piaree's medi

Bnshang, Kana.:—"I am the mother of
four children and fitom my experience with
Dr. Pieree's Favorite Prescription I fully
appreciate Hs value and can highly recom
mend it to prospective mothers as it helps
to alleviate one!s suffering. During my
first expectancy I suffered untold pans, so
tits saoood time I was determined that I
would avail myself of some means to lessen
the agony, and I can say without any hesi
tation that the Tavorite Prescription'
canted ma through that trying tkns with all
ths dssired ease and comfort. Later on,
hovOTwr, I made a grievous mistake in
believing that I eoula dtoeate with the
'Favorite Prescription' dome motherhood
and I did so to my sorrow. It will always
be stand-by hereafter.
"I hope that through this statement
some other woman may be relieved
of the dread of motherhood."—MRS.

ed in the call as one of the objects
of the proposed meeting be "the levy
ing of an assessment upon every or-i
ganized worker in the United States

fourth of his net earnings and upon
every officer of organized labor..not

IF BACK HURTS
BEG1N0N SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occa
sionally if You Eat Meat
Regularly.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally. Bays
a well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney
pores so they sluggishly filter or
strain only part of the waste and
poisons from the blood, then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism^ head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness, con-'
stipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come Irtim sluggish
kidneys.
'the moment you feel, a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
tho urine, is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salt.-3 is made from the acid of
grapes ad lemon juice, combined with
lithia and has been used for genera
tions to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to
neutralizo the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure makes a -delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blopd pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.
