The test for this is simple. All that

Cotton will go off in blaze; wool will

To distinguish pure linen from coun-

the material of adulteration is cotton.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their unceasing Work Keeps ue
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passe
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when I'M
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings on
many diseases and symptoms-pain in
the back, headache, nervousness, hot,
dry skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel,
disorders of the eyesight and hearing
drowsiness, irregular heart, debility,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But
if you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.

ant ST., Elk Point, S. d., says: my
first acquaintance with Doan's Kidney

a recognized form of military devotion
in the middle ages. On the eve of bat

cate sacramentally had the means been
