A COMMON ERROR.
The Same Mistake is Made by Many
Laramie People.

It's a common error.
To plaster the aching back.
To rub with liniments rheumatic
joints.
When the trouble comes from the
kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills.
And are endorsed by Laramie c'ti
zens.
r. c. Dickson, of ia East Seven
teenth street, Cheyenne, Wyo., propri-
etor of the hardware store, at Guern-
sey, Wyo., says.
There are scores of people like me
annoyed at intervals with attacks of
backache, who are at a loss to know
what to do when these attacks occur,
some of them much more painful than
mine and of much longer duration. Tho
important point is how to stop them.
particularly SO if the party has spent
a good deal Of time and a good deal of
money experimenting. For three years
prior to 1899 my back ached and the
action and condition of the kidney Sc,
cretions were lot right. l had always
taken as little medicine as possible but
I knew l required something to assist
nature and happening to read a state
ment about Doan's Kidney Pills, |
took a course of the treatment. 1t
stopped the backache and other indi'
cations Of either weakened or overeN'
cited kidneys. During the interim.
though l have resorted to the use of q
few doses of oan's Kidney Pills, when.
ever my kidneys plainly told me they
required attention, l still think that
remedy is very valuable"

SPOKE As A Z
Doctors Invitation Had NothIns to Do
With Advice,

With Advice.
Mclaughlin likes a wee dhrop,"
hut he likes It often. His heart grew
weaker as his thirst grew stronger.
Finally there came a time when he
felt the need Of a doctors advice, and
SO he called on n of his friends who
was a physician.
He found the doctor in his study,
with a camel fire at one side and a de-
canter Of liquor on the table at his
left. The doctor reached for his
stethoscope. and the patient unfasten-
ing his coat, cast an envious eye at
the decanter. The test being over,
the doctor placed the stethoscope on
the table near the decanter, and said:
Mac, you have a bad heart; a very
bad heart. Nothing organic, my boy.
but you will have to let liquor alone.
That is my advice as a physician"
Mclaughlin reached for his hat. His
fears were realized. He tried to lis
ten to a good story" the doctor was
telling. But he was in no humor for
joking and he edged his way toward
the door.
Have a little drink before you CO."
said the doctor. as he poured out some
of the contents of the decanter into a
glass.
What do you mean?" demanded
Mclaughlin. Didn't you Just tell me
that If didn't stop drinking 1t would
be the death Of me?"
Yes, I did," said the doctor. But
that was the physicians advice. AS
ar old friend. however, I insist on you
taking a nip now and then. Here's
your good health"

The announcement of DIR. James

thousands On the field or buried with
their clothes on at Port Arthur and

the ocean of production. The proper
ton of bibles to be found on second

AUTOMOBILE DRIVING

The other day our news columns

own moral. The laws cannot be strict

they are in themselves sufficient and
adequate for the protection of the pub,

ualties reaches 1893, with sixty-two
deaths and fifty to seventy cases of
the victims, in so short a time.
In one week four fatal accidents
have been reported from Philadelphia
and three from Pittsburg. In many
instances, it is morally certain, sheer
recklessness INT brutal disregard by
the drivers of the safety and rights of
pedestrians and others accounted for
the casualties, and to such persons as
these small fines are virtually a license
to continue their exciting and perilous
