 MONTGOMERY PROOF.
 Mrs. J. c. Rollins, wife of the we'll known contractor and carpenter of 71s Adams Street. says: MT. Rollins found Doans Kidney Pills to be e most ef- fective kidney regulator. He had been a sufferer with his back and kidneys for a long time. Sometimes the attacks were very acute and the lameness through his Joins made 1t hard for him to get about to attend to his work. Be- sides this there was some trouble with the action of the kidneys. Doan's Kid lney Pills reached his case and acted just as 1t was represented they would They relieved him of the backache and corrected the other trouble"

When the kidneys are sick there is always a warning to tell you of 1t, and when the kidneys call for help there Is no time to lose. Kidney diseases are common and fatal-cause more deaths every year than any other human ills But in nine cases out of ten this Is due to neglect. Kidney disorders are easily contracted, but just as easily cured when treated properly and in time.
 Common causes of kidney troubles are colds, fevers, exposure, strains On the back, blood poisioning diseases, and in dulgence in stimulants.
 The kidneys are the blood filters and when they become sick the blood Is soon laden with impurities. which the kidneys have failed to rvmove. This causes backache, stiff, lame, and sore muscles aching joints, spells of dizzi- ness, headaches. rheumatic pains, sleep lessness, 'nerviousness, and languor. weak heart and many other bodily aches and ills,
 Meanwhile the kidneys are fast breaking down. and from this cause the urine becomes discolored ana full of sandy sediment. passages are too ire Quent and often painful.
