A HONOLULU MAN
Talks of Doap's Rckache Kidney
pills

When an incident like the following
occurs here at home it is bound to
carry weight with our readers The
public statement of reputable citizen
living in this city leaves no ground
for the skeptic to stand on.
Mr.. James G. Stevens, of this city,
informs us: q was troubled with an
ache in the small of my back for long
time, and such was the condition of
things until | tried some of Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills, which I OBJ
tanned at the HOLSTER Drug Co.'S
store. A short treatment gave me the
desired relief, and I am satisfied that
they are a good remedy for backache
and deserve to be recommended"
Mr.. Stevens is one of our own cit
liens. Is not such testimony stronger
than that of someone living in Amer
lea?
Does your back or side ache so that
it is hard to stand straight? Do you
have headaches, nervousness, frequent
thirst, hot, dry skin, or shortness of
breath? Evil forebodings, or unsettled
sleep? Are your eyelids distended or
feet and ankles swollen and have you
lost flesh? Are the secretions from the
kidneys thick, dark colored, and do
they deposit sediment? Kidney dis
ease is insidious and If you have any
of these symptoms you should treat
them at once. Delay may mean you
can't be cured.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all chemists and store keepers
at so cents per box, six boxes $3.50, or
will be mailed on receipt of price by
the Hollister Drug Co., Honolulu, |
agents for the Hawaiian |
Islands.

PULLED OUT OF RIVER.
Torpey Booked For At
tempting Suicide in
the Blackstone.

John Torpey, Ga years old, living at
"a Harlem street, employed as la
borer by the city, was pulled out of the
Blackstone river in the rear of the
Cambridge street engine house last
night about 10 o'clock by officer Ber-
tram C. Dustin and sent to Station 1
where he was booked for attempting
suicide.
When brought into the station by
officer Thomas Hurley, Torpey denied
that he had attempted to take his life
but his clothes and hair were soaked
with water. In reply to questions by
Lieut.. Johnson, who booked him, Tor
pey stated that he went to the bank of
the river with the intention of cooling
himself off. and after removing his
hat and coat, waded into the river with
the remainder of his wearing apparel
on.
Officer Dustin was first notified of
the mans strange actions by a boy.
The officer was attending a church So
cial in South Worcester and as soon
as notified went with the boy to the
river where he found Torpey.
He talked about bathing and also
complained of head ache. The officer
decided that the best thing to do was
to send him to Station 1 and according
ly rang for the police team In the
meantime Torpey's wife had heard
about her husbands strange actions
and she sent change of clothing
which was brought to Station l in the
police team.
Torpey seemed to be rational enough
at Station l and strongly denied any
intention of taking his life He said
he had worked yesterday morning but
remained at home yesterday afternoon.
He had taken few glasses of beer
during the day. he said, and towards
evening he began to feel a pain in his
head
He did not want to remain at the
station, but Lieut.. Johnson decided that
the best thing to do would be to lock
Torpey up and after his wet clothteg
had been removed and the dry ones
substituted. Torpey was placed in a
cell where he could be watched by the
officers.
Today he will be examined by the
city physician.
