THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
Backache, Rheumatism and Dropsy
—
Kidney, Bladder and Uric Add
troubles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts of the body. '
There follow depression, aches and ]
pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu
matism. In some people there are i
sharp pains in the back and loins, i
distressing bladder disorders and i
sometimes obstinate dropsy. The uric i
acid sometimes forms into gravel or i
kidney stones. When the uric acid
affects the muscles and joints, it :
i auses lumbago, rheumatism, gout i
or sciatica. Write Dr. Pierce at once, i
send 10 cents for large trial pack- :
age. or 50 cents for full treatment of i
"Anuric" or ask your druggist for it.
During digestion uric acid is ab- i
sorbed into the system from meat
eaten, and even from some vegetables.
The poor kidneys get tired and back

Rut True Blue only came to a stag
gering stop under the quirt With hli
forefeet he still marked time as though
with them he would drag his heavy
body and master one step nearer home.
From his loins back he was paralyzed.
With a last desperate effort he
straddled his forelegs, but he could not
: brace himself against the backward
, *ag of dead weight. Gerry felt him
' sinking beneath him and suddenly
, found himself standing over his pros
trate horse. Of True Blue, his forefeet
1 outstretched, his head and breast still
held high, there was left only a great
spirit chained to a fallen and dying
| body.
A cry escaped Gerry's lips—a cry of
! horror at what he had done. Then
he remembered why he had done it
and ran not for the sluice-gate but for
the bridge. As he reached it the roar
became deafening. There was a splin
tering, crackling sound that, meas
ured by the great commotion, seemed
like the tinkle of a tiny bell. But there
| was something in the sound that called
i to his brain. He cast a glance over his
shoulder. The monster beams of his
sluice-gate, hurled, splintered, into the
air. were still hanging against the blue
| sky. Under them surged an angry
j white wall of racing water. Even as
; he started to run down the long slope
to tlie house Gerry thought with a
great relief that if the gate had been
closed it would have gone even so, like
j matchwood.
Below him Fazenda Flores lay peace
ful, still, under the blazing sun. The
! cotton was a little wilted but high and
| strong, the cane stunted but alive.
Only in the pasture bottoms the stock
had gathered In frightened clumps.
1 Their instinct had told them that dan
ger hovered near. Suddenly from the
| quiet house burst Margarita, carrying
her son on one arm. She had seen
Gerry from a window. While the oth
ers watched the rising river, and now
this terrifying torrent bursting down
: upon them from above, she had slipped
j out to run to him.
The house at Fazenda Flores stood
on a domed mound. Behind the mound
was a slight hollow before the steady
| rise to the bridge began. Gerry caught
■ sight of Margarita as she ran down
towards this hollow. Terrified, he cast
a glance nt the descending flood and
his eye measured its pace against hers.
| "Go back!" he shouted with all the
strength of his luugs. and waved his
j arms. It was as though he had not
spoken. Through the din and roar of
the flood the sound of the words scarce
!y reached his own ears.
At the very bottom of the hollow
Margarita felt that she was stepping
in water. She took her eyes from
Gerry, who she thought was beckoning
to her. and looked down. A hurrying
rivulet whose swift flow carried it be
fore the churulng crest of the flood,
tugged at her ankles. She looked up
toward the thundering wall of oncom
ing water and knew that she was lost.
She stopped and fixed her eyes on
Gerry, who was plunging down the
slope in a mad effort to reach her. She
called to him, but she knew he could
not hear her. With arms stretched to
their highest, she held up the Man. The
Man was not frightened. His black
eyes were fixed on his running father.
Margarita could feel him gurgling with
joy in the new game. Then suddenly
he cried out. It was a wail of fright, j
The wail was cut short. Broken in
two, it rang terribly in her ears as
she went down.
The water had felled Margarita and
the Man. Gerry saw them flung down
the crest of the wave. They became
suddenly a twirling, sodden mass, in
animate save for the fliug of a loose
limb into clearer view against the blue
sky or the uncoiling of long black hair
on the seething water.
Gerry reached the torrent. Marga
rita and the Man had already been
whirled far towards the great river.
He plunged into the flood. The water
was thick with earth, sticks, uprooted
plants and debris of every sort. Con
flicting. swirling currents tugged at
heavy stones, rolled them along and
sometimes even tossed one to the sur- j
face. s
Gerry's struggling body was hurled
hither aud thither. A stray current
shot hiiu to the surface, but before he
could take breath other currents
sucked him down and dragged him
along the rough surface of the crum
bling soil. He felt as though he were
being torn limb from iirub.
Then suddenly he was cast into an
eddy that in comparison with the mael
strom was almost peaceful. For an
instant he felt like one who awakes
from a terrible dream, but with the
sigh that trembled to his lips came
realization.
From head to toe he was battered 1
and bruised. His cotton clothes were
in tatters. His chest heaved iu great.
, spasmodic gasps. Breath whistled
through his wracked lungs. His eyes
protruded. His head ached till it
seemed on the verge of bursting. But
to his mind pierced a thought sharper
than pain—the thought of Margarita
and the Man. With clenched teeth he
struck out for the current.
Far. far away rose a dusty line of
mist. It marked the head of the flood—
I the meeting of water with the aecumu- j
lated dust of rainless months. Gerry
I recognized the meaning of that line.
Somewhere there in the turmoil of the
first rush of the mad flood were Mar- i
garita and the Man —what was left of
I them. The distance dismayed him, but
j he swam on. Then he felt the fast ap-
I proachlng end of endurance. A sob
choked him.
It was only minutes till his arms re- 1
fused to answer to his will. They s
moved so weakly that more than once
his gasping mouth, sank below the wa
ter. He swallowed great gulps of the
turgid flood. Then an uprooted tree
brushed by him. He clutched its
branches.
Wheu all else in the world has
passed from a man's brain there re- j
i mains the life instinct—the will to fight j
for the last minute of his allotted be- j
• ug. The life instinct was all that still j
lived in Gerry. It urged him to a last j
effort. He dragged his body upon the
tree where the branches forked from
the main trunk. Utterly exhausted, he
sank Into their embrace. They held
him as though in a cradle.
The rush of the waters began to
slacken. They stretched out over the
valley and crept up its sides. They did
not flow so much now as rise. The val
ley became a moving sea. On its flow
ing surface beasts, fowls and reptiles
j struggled, mad-eyed, for life. Here j
and there a bloated carcass, brought
down from far up the river, blundered i
blindly through the living and brought j
screams of terror from the swimming j
horses, and gasping lows from the !
struggling cattle.
From the middle of the sea rose the
j old plantation house still high and dry !
on its mound. It seemed very tiny— j
a toy house on a lonely islet.
A great, open, white umbrella lined
with green sailed gayly along. It !
caught In the branches of Gerry's tree. I
Uprooted cotton bushes floated by, and 1
cane, snapped off, sometimes torn up
In whole hills, banked up against the j
tree and formed a vast, unstable j
Island, toward which swam the delud
; ed stock.
From the mouth of the cleft in the
river gorge issued a thundering cata- I
ract. It had burst through the walls J
of the ditch and even unseated a sec- i
tlon of the rocky crag against which j
the sluice-gate had been buttressed.
The ditch was gone. It could never
be again, for the water was tearing
the channel of the cleft deeper and
deeper. The turbid flood devoured the
silt of the valley, accumulated since
man was, and carried it, seething, out
towards the river. The valley would
be left naked, stripped of the source
of life.
Gerry's tree had crawled away from
the main current. In a vast eddy it
approached the mound whereon squat
ted the old plantation house. Dona
Maria stood at the edge of the waters.
