WEAK KIDNEY NJ A KE
WEAK BODIES.
Kidney Diseases Cause Half the
Common Aches and Ills of
Mineral Point People.

AS one weak link weakens chain,
so weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breaking
down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes iniure the kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess of uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come, and there is an
ever-increasing tendency towards dia-
betes and fatal Bright's disease.
There is no real help for the sufferer
except kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney i'll.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflammed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inHammed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing Will &c destroyed for
ever: nine cases out OF ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an indamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces
