When the kidneys are sick.
Nature tells you all about it.

statement of a friend of mine in the
newspapers about Doan's Kidney Pills
induced me when l met him on the
street one day to ask him If it was
correct. He replied that it was true
in every particular and l came to the
conclusion that if they cured him they
would cure me. l had trouble with my
kidneys for some nine or ten years, at
first mild but as time passed the al
tacks became more frequent and were
of much longer duration and finally 4

lions set in, particularly annoying at
night. l commenced to use medicines

not the.faintest idea of the number OF

any of it had brought permanent re-
suits | never would have consulted
my friend, neither would l have gone
to a drug store for Doan's Kidney
Pills. Soon after l commenced to use
the treatment l was convinced that the
preparation had merits. A continuation

canal is thirty or forty feet wide and
fifteen or twenty deep. At high tide 1t
Is filed with water, but when the tide
goes out it is a repulslve ditch of al,

boots and shoes, tin cans, wreckage
and other debris. The canal is unford.
able al alLtimes is crossed by two
bridges. In order to keep the foreign
concession clear Of the Inhabitants OF
the native city, the bridges are guard
ed, and no Chinaman is allowed to
cross except employees, servants and
tradesmen, who carry passes.
Not long ago three drunken sailors
from the American monitor Monterey,
while returning to their ship. which
was anchored In the river of the con-
cessions, met a young Chinaman on
the bridge and assaulted him. 1t was
more o. a drunken frolic than anything
else, but ended in q tragedy, for in the
scufle the young Chinaman was
thrown owe the railing into the ditch.
He fell head first into the mud, and.
the tide being out, sank 80 far that he
died of suffocation before he could be
rescued. He proved to be q clerk en-
