IS IT YOUR KIDNEYS?

Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorder. That is where the danger often lies. You should realise that these troubles often lead to serious kidney disease. An effective remedy for weak or diseased kidneys is Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills. Read this experience. Mrs J. Colclough, 10 Heretaunga Street, Palmerston North, says: “My kidneys were in a disordered state for some time. I knew this to be so from the fact that my back was always aching. I was subject to dizziness, and felt tired and languid. The pains in my back were very severe especially when I stooped. I could scarcely move at times; in fact I have been so bad that I was almost crippled with the ailment. My rest at night was broken and I used to get up feeling nearly as tired as when I went to bed. I was really in a very poor state of health but I am thankful to say I at last found a medicine that was reliable, and that was Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills: A friend told me about them, and I got a bottle at once; they did me so much good that I bought some more and six bottles cured me. That was twelve months ago, and I am still well.”

Doan’s Backache' Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3/- per bottle, or will be posted on receipt of price by Fos-ter-McClellan Co., 15 Hamilton St., Sydney. But, be sure you get DOAN’S. —Advt. 6

A story that should he I old and retold until every Briton knows it, is the story of how American draftees of British birth ranked in the intelligence tests of the American army during the World War. The Washington, D.C. Voice' shows that two million drafted men were thus tested. These were the pick, physically, of American manhood. Those of English birth showed 197 men per thousand of officer type, yet only 87 low powered, Scotland almost equalled this record, followed by Holland, then Canada. At the other end of the scale were Eastern and Southern Europeans, one state of which showed only 5 high-powered, yet 699 defectives. In other words, from certain Alpine and Mediterranean areas immigrants into America showed almost 7 low-powered out of every 10. America, born of Britain, has, out of this war experience, passed a restrictive immigration act. The writer, son of an Australian, feels it his duty to give his blood kindred these facts, hoping that they may be worth considering in moulding a policy to hold the antipodean Dominions not only white, but BritishNordic (writes C. M. Geothe, President Immigration Study, Commission of America).
