A serious and dangerous disease pre- vails in this country, dangerous be- cause so deceptive, It comes on so slowly yet surely that it is often firmly seated before we are aware of it. ~ The name of this disease which may be divided into three distinct stages is, First, Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lumba- go, frequent desire to urinate, often with a burning sensation, the flow of urine being copious or scant with strong odor. If allowed to advance, this reaches the Second stage, or Bladder trouble, wit heavy pain in the abdomen low dov‘vn between the navel and the water passage, increasing desire to urinate, with scalding sensation in * passing, small quantities being passed with dif- ficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it with instruments. If uricacid or gravel has formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected. The third stage is Bright’s Disease. There is comfort in knowing that Dr. Kilmer, the great kidney and blad- der specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous for its marvelous cures of the most distressing cases and known as Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. It is sold by all druggists.

In view of the recbnt arrests in South ' Norwalk for failing to remove snow from sidewalks,. the fellowing from a correspondent of the Herald of La Porte, Ind., will prove of interest: “This is not entirely a new question, and the courts of other 'states have passed upon the. legality and the con- stitutionality of such ordinances and in many instances have declared them invalid. “Several weeks ago this precise Ques‘h tion was raised and carried to the Sn- preme court in Illionis. and that court held that: A municipal ordinance, re- quiring occupants and owners of prem- ises to remove snow from adjacent be enforced,” - A more recent case has been de— nided by the Superior court of New Hampshire, in which it Was‘held: That . an ordinance, requiring citizens to clear ‘ the sidewalks in front? of, their resi-' dences from snow was in contraven- tion of the constitution of the United States, etc. Judge Blodgett, who ren- dered the opinion, said. “The side- walks being part of thei'streets, the mu- nicipality could not impose upon the citizens .the ‘duty of keeping them ele 1r of obstructions of this character, and such municipality had no power to fine a citizen for refusing to comply with its provisions.” . “—40-0’——-——— Alleged Murder a Myth.
