TO KIDNEY SUFFERERS.
An Opportunity Worthy
of Your Notice.

If you suffer with kidney disease or any

of the kidneys or urinary organs, this
offer we make to the people of Raleigh
should interest you. In the advancement
of medical science, the kidneys, the Or
gans of the greatest Importance to hu-

in placing before you such a cure as
Doan's Kidney Pills the proprietors
recognize how far so many statements
of the makers of similar preparations
have fallen short of their claims, being
convinced that no remedy for kidney
complaints in existence equals Doan's
Kidney Pills for such ailments; strength
ened in these convictions by letters that
are daily received of the work they are

freed from never-ceasing aches, and
many lame and shattered one, stopped

Asheville, N. c., Feb. N.-Mr and Mrs.
Rockefeller, who arrived here last night
from Washington, this morning took a
drive to Biltmore. Mr.. Rockefeller has
had a number of callers, but has asked in
every instance to be excused. Last ev-
ening he was too fatigued from his trip
and this morning he was going out. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Rockefeller express them
selves as being much delighted with
Asheville and their pleasant quarters al
Battery Park Hotel and it is probable
that their visit here may be prolonged
several days. They expect, however, to
leave Asheville next week.
