Murray stood looking him over. He
was an odd little Frenchman whose
face was tanned almost black by the

would-be passenger with twinkllng,
cunning eyes.

queried, keeping his boat away from

Murray took out paper dollar and

For months Sauk Centre readers
have seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and
read about the good work they have
done in this locality. Not another
remedy ever produced such convincing
proof of merit.
Julian Richard, living at 7o3 2nd St.
S. E. Little Falls, Mimi, says: ''It
has been over six years since l have
used Doan's Kidney Pills bud l am
glad to tell of the benefit / derived.
At that time my condition was most
serious. My back was so weak and
painful that | was forced to walk i'm a
stopped position and was also bother
ed by stiffness across the loins. The
secretions from my kidneys were at
times in very unnatural condition.
The doctors gave me up and l receiv-
ed no benefit from the medicines /
tried. AT last l used Doan's Kidney
Pills and was cured of every symptom
of the trouble

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 con-
Stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing. and when IL Is entirely closed Deafness is
the result. and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its norma
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an infamed condition Of
the mucous SurfeceS.

mean that every day the sum OF S 3s4 co
