When the striped pole or sign which
now indicates a barber shop was employed
to let the public know where cupping or
blood letting was professionally perform
ed, close shaves were daily occurrence,
not the easy removal of the hrsute or
hairy adornment of the head and face.
but close shaves from entering eternity.
More than one unfortunate entered the
barber surgeons doorway TO leave it a
corpse or SO weak that weeks were re-
quired to get the victim of malpractice
on his feet. Blood letting was used for
everything, from headache to a corn,
and pain in the loins was invariably
treated with two incisions, one on each
side of the spine Like plasters and lini-
ments, those helped from the counter ir-
ritation they created and we may pre-
sumo that had Mr.. Calvin Wilson. pro
prietor of the leading shaving parlor of
Niles, Mich. lived in the time of George
III of England in place of taking the
course he did short time ago with his
back, blood letting would have been re
sorted to. Read how he treated his
trouble:
Mr.. Wilson says: MY occupation has,
very likely, much to do with the cause of
my backache from which | have suffered
considerably for number of years
Standing on ones feet some days Is hours
is hard on the best of backs, but when
you have pains across the loins, with
lameness and soreness, every time you
move the muscles of your arm, long, long,
before your daily task is over you often
wish you could 90 to sleep. | tried
everything to better my condition but
was unsuccessful until / used three
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills. The relief
they brought to a man, who has worked
hard all his life and is now past three
score and ten, is much easier to appre-
ciate than to describe in words. Doans
Kidney Pills perform what they promise.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all
dealers. Mailed by Foster Milburn Co..
