DO IT NOW.
Bemidji People Should Not Matt Until
it's Too Late.

The appalling death-rate from
kidney disease is due in most cases
to the fact that the little kidney
troubles are usually neglected until
they become serious. The slight
symptoms give place to chronic
disorders and the sufferer goes
gradually into the grasp of diabetes,
dropsy, Bright's disease, gravel or
some other serious form of kidney
complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney
secretions are irregular of passage
and unnatural in appearance, do
not delay. Help the kidney at
once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are espec-
tally for kidney disorders they
cure where others fail. Over one
hundred thousand people have
recommended them. Here's case
at home:
Mrs. L. Kane, living at 615 Fourth
St., Bemid]i, Mimi, says: Il was a
sufferer from kidney complain for
a number of years. Doan's Kid.
ney Pills gave me great relief and
I am confident anyone using them
will receive great benefit. My
trouble seemed to be of dropsical
nature and I also suffered much
from rheumatic pains. My system
seemed to be filled with uric acid
and I felt very miserable. I pro-
cured Doan's Kidney Pills at the
Owl Drug Store, used them carefully
as directed and as before said, de-
rived great benefit"

Won Zeppelin's new model airship,
with the inventor and four other men
on board, made successful descent in

airship came easily to the earth and
after remaining for some time reas.
