BACK GIVES OUT.
Plenty of Topeka Readers Have This
Experience.

Experience.
You tax the kidneys-overwork
They can't keep up the continual
strain.
The back gives QUIT aches and
pains.
Urinary troubles set in.
Kidney Pills.
Topeka people will tell you how
they act.
Calvin Brewer, of 635 Jefferson
street, says: Ordinary Anglo Saxon
fails to convey any idea of what I
suffered from my back when on the
Texas Pacific r. r. engineer between
Fort Worth and Texarkana. 1 have Of
ten when I stopped to oil my engine
suffered excruciatingly, and when on
the engine the least jar sent twinges
of pain clean from my loins to the top
of my head. The trouble finally forced
me to give up my position, and when
observable at night, was added to for
mer troubles, my condition was not
one to be envied. Now if the first box
of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at
Rowley and Shows drug store, cor
ner of Sixth street and Kansas ave-
nue., had not brought me positive re-
lief, I never would have followed up
the treatment, neither could 1 be in
duced- to recommend the preparation
nor endorse its claims. Send anyone to
me for minute particulars of my ex-
perience with and opinion of Doan's
Kidney Pills.

As inevitable as the changing Seasons Of
the year is the change which comes to
every woman. And just as one anticipates
the changes of other seasons it is wise to
anticipate this change of season and pre-
pare for It, In this way the discomforts
and disasters suffered by many women at
the period of change can be avoided or
overcome.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription med
icine for every season of woman's- life, will
entirely meet the needs of women at this
period of change. 1t cures the physical

encourages the appetite and induces re-
freshing sleep.

IMPLANTED UDDERS.
Nine-Tenths of the Cases of This
annoying Disease Are Caused
BY Taking Cold.


Many complaints are in about this
malady. and this will answer all of
them. In the first place, COWS prop
erly cared for rarely have this trouble
The udder Of deep milking cows is
very sensitive, and nine-tenths Of the
cases are caused by taking cold, says
the Dairy World. Recently one of the
windows in a COW barn was raised a
little in warm day and was left open
during the night. The next morning
the cow standing nearest the window
had q swollen udder. During the
night she took cold from the draft and
it settled in the udder. Closing the
window after the evening milking
would have avoided the trouble. For
treatment the udder was frequently
bathed with hot water, scrubbed Wig
orously until dry and vaseline was ap-
piled. Generally q physic IL recon-
mended, but with the treatment de-
scribed We have not found 1t neces-
sary At this season many cows are
fresh, and If allowed to lie on the
damp ground they are likely to take
cold, especially II they have been well
housed during the winter. III the I'D
der begins to cake before calving fol-
low the remedy prescribed, and milk
out. OF course the best way is to pre-
vent this chief cause. Daily access to
salt is important because II salt is
given only occasionally they will take
too much, causing abnormal thirst fol-
lowed by drinking too much cold
water which often results in a cold.

By an old back We mean bad back.
Bad backs are numerous.

them all.
They reach the cause.
They cure urinary troubles.
