Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
yrour kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers^ they fil?
ter out ihe waste or
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 a"
sample bottle by mail
free, also pampnlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

Messrs, JOHN w. MASCRY & SON'S PAINTS
Any painter who knows his business will tell you that MASURY'S
PAINT8 have n world-wide ruputation for excellence. There are
cheaper paints, of course, but such paints are necessarily inferior, being
made of cheaper material, which will not cover as well?not last aa
long: Some people say, "A gallon of paint is a gallon of paint.11 True!
But Masury's Paints cover 300 sq. ft. per. gallon?two good heavy
coats?and last all the way from six to sixteen years, while the cheap
paints cover from one-third to one half less surface and fade away and
begin to chalk, or crock, off in a year or two.
Not all high-priced paints are good. Many are badly adulterated
with benzine, which you can detect by its odor, or with water, whick
our agents can tell you how to detect. Others contain chalk, whiting
or other worthless or harmful adulterants and cheapeners. Such paints
ought lo be cheap, if they are not.
Masury's Paints are guaranteed abolutely Pure Linseed Oil Paints,
and are warranted to outlast, not only all other paints, but Pure Whit*
Lead as well. Sold under guarantee by druggists.
