The laborers who built the pyramids did not work under such disadvantages as have long been attributed to them. Recent research shows that they had solid and tubular drills and lath tools. The drills were set with jewels and cut into the rock with keenness and accuracy. Nearly one-fourth of the patents granted at this time relate to the biccyle. There are all kinds of devices from small tools to the whole wheel. So many kinds of wheels are made and the’ wheels are used for so many purposes that patents concerning the various parts are very numerous.

HAVE YOU GOT TROUBLES OF YOUR OWN? If not, Listen to Other*’Troubles-If you have, see ifYour Trouble is like Other People’s Troubles. There are some kinds of trouble j that are unavoidable. Then, again, ■ there is trouble that is easily avoided iif you know how to do it. Here is a true statement of Mrs. M. Langton of ' 2021 Hanna street, Logansport, Ind., ' telling of her trouble and how she got I entirely over it. She says. “I am j well aware every one has trouble with- | out listening to mine, but I hope by I telling mine. I shall instruct others how to avoid it. For ten years at least I have had more trouble with my back than can well be expressed on paper. It began with kidney headache. I paid little attention to it at first, but I see now where I made the mistake. The trouble increased and urinary disturbances followed. The urine was excessive in quality, highly colored, of I a strong odor and contained so much ! uric acid as to cause a burning sensai tion in its passage. Then I had sharp, shooting pains and swelling of the limbs which became very painful. For the past five or six years several doctors have treated me for my trouble without arresting the progress of the disease. They knew what the trouble was and pronounced it kidney complaint. One doctor said he could do nothing for me and advised me to make my “will”. When I arrived at this stage I became very anxious and tried any and everything I could hear of. Some time ago I read about and tried Morrow’s Kid-ne-oids. The recommends were so high that I procured and used them strictly according to directions. After the first box was used I grew less nervous and I rested well at night, which is something I had not experienced for months. lam now on the third lx>x and the help has been so great that I am glad to continue using them, believing that I have found a genuine cure. With all idications I shall soon be well. I desire my friends to write to me and learn more about the wonderful remedy, Morrow’s Kid-ne-oids.” This statement is convincing enough I for the worst skeptic in Logansport. Write to Mrs. Langton and see for yourself. Kid-ne-oids are Yellow' Tablets (not pills) and are sold by all firsti class druggists and at Holthouse, I Callow & Co’s drug store at 50 cents I a box. Accept no remedy “just as : good” for there is none. ManufacI tured by John Morrow & Co., Chemi ists, Springfield. Ohio.
