WOmdn'S Life Saved.
Not One But Thousands.

Kalamazoo. Mich. Looking back
over nearly thirty years of medical SER
vice rendered to suffering humanity, it
is one of the most pleasing reflections
of my life that by careful research and
study, have been enabled, not only in
general practice, but by special rene
dies, to be instrumental in saving life,
promoting health, and bringing happi-
ness to thousands and thousands of
suffering mortals." -REy. R. PENGELLY,
NJ. D.
Inquiry at Kalamazoo, Mich, discloses
the fact that in mentioning special rem
edies above, DR.. Pengelly referred to
his experience of more than twenty
years of actual practice in the treat
ment of the diseases of women, during
which time he invariably prescribed
Zoa-Phora, the well-known "Woman's
Friend and regulator, and which has
found ready sale among the reliable
druggists of the land. If you are sick
or aiIing, you will undoubtedly desire
to test the merits of this valuable
womans medicine. Just ask your drug
gist for Zoa-Phora. No other explana-
ton will be needed. You will get the
prescription used so successfully by
DR.. Pengelly, already prepared and COM
pounded in just the right proportions,
and put up in sealed, sterilized, one
dollar bottles.
In each package will be found 4 copy
of "Dr. Pengelly's Advice to Women a
medical book, giving interesting and
instructive information about all the
diseases of women and the way to sue
cessfully treat them in the privacy of
your own home without any publicity

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Dangerous for
Leon People to Neglect.

The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get a firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Backache,
headache, nervousness, lameness, sore
ness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy,
diabetes and Bright's disease follow IN
merciless succession. Don't neglect
your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with
the certain and safe remedy, Doan's
Kidney Pills.
James French, living in the northern
part of Mt. Ayr, Ia, says: Il can highly
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills not so
much from my own experience, but
more in behalf Of my wife who had
used them with very beneficial results.
NV wife had been troubled off and on
for two or three years with severe at
tacks of backache and other symptoms
of kidney complaint. A friend OF ours
recommended Doan's Kidney Pills so
highly for such troubles that was in
duced to get her a box. They helped
her right away relieving the backache
and correcting all other difficulties
She has resorted to their use on several
occasions when having those attacks
and they never fail to help her. She
has been quite free from any trouble
now for year and gives Doans Kidney
Pills the credit"

The oil drillers have been having
trouble again. At little more than
900 feet last week they struck large
volume of water which gave them
trouble. The water rose up about 500
feet in the we'll and it made further
drilling almost impossible. They then
decided to draw the small casing, rim
the we'll out and put down larger cas-
ing, and when the small casing was
pulled out the we'll caved in. They
have been using trimmer the last few
DAYS trimming out under the larger cas-
ing to let it down. If they can get be-
low this body of water it is thought
that they will have no further trouble
They have had more than their share OF
trouble, and we hope that they will be
able to go right along until they strike
that big lake of oil down there.-Cains-

The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1907-07-25

The increase is the more striking in
view of the fact that the valuation of
railroads, farm lands and all other kinds
of property has been greatly increased,
while at the same time large amounts of
money have been paid into the state
treasury during the past few years from
sources that produced no revenue in
previous years. The state has never
had so much money to spend as in the
past few years and it has never expend-
ed it with greater celebrity. Whether
or not the people are getting their
moneys worth may be open to dis
cussion, but that no effort has been
made by the administration to curb ex-
penditures and that no reform in the
direction of economy has been advocated

Alexandria, Va, June u, 1907. !
All persons owning or intending 70 keep
any animal of the Dog or Canine species
should come forward on or before
JUNE TWENTY-FIVE, 1907,

Auditor. After the 30th Of June all persons
owing or harboring Dogs without the re.
quired license are subject to a fine as the laws
on the subject require Of $500 or $500.
Complaint has been frequently made that
many persons fail to take out their license.
and that others pay on one or two dogs when
owning and harboring more, or who send
such dogs away during the summer months
and bring them back in the fall.
Attention has been called to this evasion Of
the law. and policemen will report all such
cases and fines can be imposed upon those
who fail to take out licenses after trial in the
Police Court.
The police officers will be required to re-
port all violations Of this law.
