Kidney Troubles May be Sapping You
LIT, Away. Bennington People
Have Learned This Fact.

When a healthy man or woman be-
gins to run down without apparent
cause, becomes weak, languid, de-
pressed, suffers backache, dizzy spells
and urinary disorders, look to the kid
neys for the cause of 1t all. Keep the
kidneys well and they will keep you
well. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys and keep them WELL Here is
Bennington testimony to prove it.
w. II. Bentley of 151 Beech street,
Bennington, VT, says: "a good deal
of heavy lifting and the jolting of the
wagon probably first affected my kid
neys. had lameness and soreness
through the loins and also suffered
from dull, heavy headaches. If /
happened to arise quickly after stoop-
ing sharp pain would catch me in the
small of my back. There was also an
annoying urinary weakness, the secre-
lions being dark colored and full of
sediment. / used different remedies
but did not get much relief until
Doan's Kidney Pills we're recommend
ed to me and procured at K. B. Hyde's

ficulty with the kidney secretions was
stopped, the backache disappeared and
I could rest we'll nights. My general

| If the grand list of your town is less

than SIS.
If the grand list of your town is
more than $500, yet less than $4,000
the sum to be appropriated must be
not less than $25.
If the grand list is $4,000 or mora
the sum to be raised must be not less
than $50. Many towns show their de
sire for civic Improvement by raising
much higher sums than the state re
quires of them.
The state of Vermont recognizes
that Free Public Library is neces
