DOCTORS FALL IN LINE.
Practdng Physicians recognize the unfdlng reliability Of Doan's Kidney Pills

Gen1eDren-I have been engaged in the practice Of medicine in this
section for ten years. This is a very sickly climate, on the Bayou Bar
thoomew, near the Arkansas River. 1t is particularly malarious and
miasnatic; we meet with many and various abnormal conditions of the
human family, prominent among tho cases in which | have been called
upon to prescribe is kidney disease. Many of these disorders manifest
themselves by pains in the back, often extending to other parts of the
body; sometimes headache is present, caused by uramic or chronic uric
acid poisoning, soreness in region OF kidneys, cloudy, thickened and foul
smelling urine, discharges OF pus or corruption; inflammation of the
kidneys, extending to the bladder, is caused by excess of uric acid and
decomposition OF urine. Henorrhage is sometimes met with, caused
by high state Of inflammation or congestion.
There is no class of diseases a doctor is called oihner to treat than
the variety Of kidney diseases, in many OF which the patient will have
chins or rigors, followed by fever, a result of the kidneys failing 10 elm

have, for some time, been using Doans Kidney Pills i'll these
many manifestations and with uniform success, curing most cases. |
can further say that even in hopeless cases where they have waited too
long, Doans Kidney Pills afford much relief and prolong life. can
recommend the pills in conditions of excessive or deficient secretion OF
urine, as also in convaescence from swamp fever and malaral attacks,
as verified by the following cases in my practice.

This leads to partial loss Of hearing,

decided to let six years instead of five elapse and hold the next meeting in London in 1899.
 At the London meeting the Interna- tional Council. ladies had the time of their lives. The brilliant Countess of Aberdeen was president. She is one of Great Britain's noblost workers in the field of philanthropy. While her hus- band was governor general of Canada Lady Aberdeen made many friends among American women across the border in the States, and she knows the American spirit well. It seemed as if the whole city of London was turned over to the ladies of that international council and the international Congress connected with and following 1t. Fetes were given; excursions were provided to historic places; men and women of the highest rank as well as those dis tinguished for brains honored them in all ways possible. Strong minded wo- men are somebody in our age of the world.
 In Berlin the scenes at London will be repeated. only even more is expect ed. because now the International Council is so much larger and it's mo- ble aims are so much better known than they were five years ago. In our land, of course, titles count for noth- ing. but in lands where monarchs still reign 1t counts for so much that bar onesses, countesses and honorables not few and even two or three duchesses are active members of the council.

Who Waits For You at the Race

 There is a young gentleman of this city I-ho goes to the races once or twice a week just for the fun of the thing" It is possible this expression may have been heard before. The man who plays poker at every available opportunity. who seizes all the pots he can legitimately win or blufr his neighbor out of, and who doesn't care anything about the money part, but plays Just for the fun of the thing" is no rarity Nor is he who lays his dollars on the well groomed back of some thoroughbred.
 Nevertheless, there Is one young gentle man of this settlement who really goes to the track for the fun he can get out ot his fellows. He doesn't bet he gets his admission price back in solid enjoy ment. The first day he went to the track this season he wandered into the betting ring and leaned against a post facing a bookmaker's stand, interestedly watching the crowd fighting to part with its money. Suddenly slim young man shot through the edge of the crowd and beat his way through until he was free again and emerged opposite the post. He was fol- lewed by another, tall, pasty faced youth. The slim young man paused for breath directly in front of the watcher at the post. The pasty faced man stop- ped also, hesitated. then said to the slim ore:
 Do you mind telling me what you bet on, partner?'
 The other turned on him like tiger, snarling:
 "Go ask the bookmakers if you want to know" and rushed again into the ring.

 Presently the slim young man worked his way back and once more paused on the outskirts to breathe. Between his fin- gers were clutched several bills. The pasty faced man nudged the observer. You ask him what he was betting on." ho urged; maybe hen tell you" Then he walked away.
 The slim young man looked at the near est slate. Then he seemed to consider. ''Will you let me take your program minuteT' he asked politely 0s the ob- server He took the card, scanned it, and gave it back ''VThat do you think of that felloWT he said indignantly, Seter- ring to the pasty faced man.

 The slim one regarded him closely. Say" he said, "you ain't working in with the bookmakers, are you?"
 The observer disclaimed any such con nection.
