With distressing urinary disorders.
Daily existence is but struggle.
No need to keep it up.
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.

j. r. Cobb, living on Faculty Hill,
Walhaila, S. c., says: During the
past year used Doan's Kidney Pills
and found them to be very reliable
remedy. They quickly disposed of
the excess of uric acid in my system
and regulated the disordered condi-
tios of my kidneys. At times l felt
languid and dull and the pains across
the small of my back caused me a
great deal of suffering. DoaI's Kid
,ney Pills were procured at DR.. j. w.
Bells drug store, and 1t required
but few doses. to give me relief I
have kept them constantly on hand,
and when feeling little out of sorts
/ appeal to their use and they have
never failed to bring me relief"

$4,000 KILLED BY ACCIDENT.
4 Bureau of Labor Scores Negligence in
y Giving annual Figures.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE total
annual mortality from accidents in
the United States among adult wage
earning men is between $4,000 and
$4,000, of which at least one-third
and perhaps one-half should be saved
by intelligent and rational methods
of factory inspection, legislation and
control.
There also were approximately g.
100000 accidents that were all fa
tai, curtailing the normal longevity
among those exposed to the often
needless risk of industrial casualties.
These conclusions are announced
in bulletin by the bureau of labor.
which advocates more earnest effort
to profit by the industrial methods OF
European countries.
