Rock Island People Know
How to Save Ii,

Many Rock Island people take their
lives in their hands by peglecting their
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are respon-
sible for n vast amount of suffering
and i'll health, but there Is no need to
suffer nor to remain in danger when
all diseases and aches and pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per-
manently- cured by the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills. Here is the statement
of Rock Island citizen who has re-
claimed good health by the use of this
remedy. r
Mrs. Isaac Shiffer of 1417 Fifth ave
nue., Rock Island, Ills, says:
MY husband was troubled for two
years with kidney trouble before he
found anything to help him. The worst
symptoms he endured were severe
pains in the region of his kidneys and
across his back, and frequent desire to
| void the urine which he could not con
troll. He was unable to stoop OF lift
| anything. He tried many remedies
but got no relief. He read of Doan's
Kidney Pills in the paper and decide
to try them, procured box at the Har
per House pharmacy and after using
tthem a short time the pains and othei
symptoms left him. l have used Doan' {
Kidney Pills myself and find them &c
be exactly as represented My hus
band and | agree that Doan's Kidney
Pills are the surest and safest remedy
for kidney trouble"

Mr. Frohman said: Il am negotiating
with the Cunard Steamship company

Mauretania, soon to make her maiden
