Kidney Diseases Prey upon Muscles, Brain and Mere

Doan's Kidney Pills Cure Sick Kidneys

A man or woman may be-, to all
outward appearances, perfectly well,
and yet feel weak, nervous and below
the mark; may lack ambition and suf-
fer touches of backache and urinary
disorders. That person is not well at
all. Very likely the kidneys are sick,
for the first effect of sick kidneys is
congestion and impure blood, which
causes nervousness, backache and
headaches A second effect is uric
poisoning, which brings rheumatic
pains, sediment in the urine, gravel,
stone in the kidney, govt, etc. An adj
vanced stage of kidney troubles is
marked by daily loss of albumen
through the urine and consequent fail
ure of energy, weight and appetite
Examine the urine. If it is too red,
| or too pale, if there is a bad odor, or
a deposit of sediment, and If passages
are too frequent or scanty, it's time
to treat the kidneys. Use Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a kidney remedy that has
cured many a stubborn case among
your own townspeople.

Charley Jones and Hunter Hill are
victims of malaria, but they hope to
recover by the time the team returns
home. Neither one has enjoyed good
health this summer, the change OF
climate here affecting them greatly
Mac Heyden has developed into one
of the foremost catchers of the league
His great snap throw is a terror to all
base stealers, and it is seldom that his
aim is bad. Mac doesn't bat much,
but few catchers are good hitters.
Gus Dorner, the star twirler of the
Columbus club. will not join the Gin
cinnatis this fall. He has been over
worked pitching Columbus into first
place, and thinks he deserves a rest at
the. conclusion of the American asso-
citation season.
Catcher Spencer is making good for
the Browns. Mig Clarke, who gave
much promise for Cleveland, has over
stepped club rules, and Vice President
Somers took hold of the youngster,
and showed him the error of his way.
Mig promised 10 good in the future.
The late squirt of the Pirates got
the friends of the Giants to thinking
that after all, they might not partici-

to give the Giants much of an argu-

The Cleveland and Cincinnati clubs
have appealed to the minor league
clubs to let them have the players
they drafted right away, to relieve the
crippled condition of their clubs, but
as these players are nearly all on
teams standing in first place in their
respective leagues, they cannot be
spared.
A western rumor has 1t that Frank
Smith, of the White Sox, intends to

Pittsburg outlaw team. 1t is known
that Smith wants to get away from
Chicago, but it is not certain that
Donovan will carry through his pro-
posed plans for a team in the Smoky

Melvin had been kicked in the head by

TOPEKA TESTIMONY

George Hanley of 1915 Tyler street,
Topeka, Kan, says: "Six years ago,
or in the spring of 1899, Doan's Kid
ney Pills brought me such great relief
that I told the people of Topeka what
means I had employed. For two or
three years previous to taking Doan's
Kidney Pills 1 had slight kidney dis-
order which at times became quite
annoying. There were not much
backache but the kidney secretions
were disordered, too frequent in ac-
ton and at times accompanied by
pain. Doan's Kidney Pills quickly
cured me and left no unpleasant after
effects. I have no reason to retract
anything said about them in my first
statement but, on the contrary, can
say that the cure has remained COM
plete and not a trace of the complaint
has ever returned. It affords me
pleasure to recommend a remedy of
such great value as Doan's Kidney
Pills.
