When there is a sickness, ex- awine the urine. Rbeumatism is only a symptom of kidney trouble. Itis unothing more or less than excessive uric acid in the blood, which the sluggish, inactive kidneys have failed to sift out, leaving it to discompose and settle about the joints and muscles, causing intense suffer- ing; frequently resulting in de- forwity; often reaches the heart when death ensues, {#lPains across the back, frequent painful and suppressed urina- tion and other symptons of weak bladder are not the only signs of kidney trouble; many cases of stomach disease, headache, pain in the heart, inactive liver, etc., are but symptoms; the cause of which can be traced to feeble, clogged kidneys. The physicians for the insur- ance companies always carefully examine the reporton the con- dition of the urine. It isa cer- tain sign of sickness or health of the human body. A test of the urine should be made by every man and woman at least once each year. A sim- ple test is to void a small quan- tity of urine in a bottle or glass and let it stand over night; next morning, if there is a reddish brictdust sediment, or white fleecy substance present, either consult some reputable physi- Mrs. A.

A number of petitions for citi- zenship papers which were made out before Clerk of Court Rhoda, have been returned to that gentle- man for correction. In the re- turns it is pointed out that none of the witnesses to the applica- tions were sworn and asked to sign the affidavit attached to the petition.
