 a CHURCHES SUFFERED HEAVILY.
 The tornado had particular ,rudge against churches, if the results are a gauge of intentions. Only one church in. town escaped the wrath of the storm, the Catholic church on East Ash street. TRe others are all badly wrecked and in most cases totally destroyed. In several instances the tornado seems 10 have dipped down for the particular purpose Of getting the church. The First Bap- list church was destroyed when the residence of c. o. Boele on the east and A. M. Carter on the north and Fred Winkter on the south were practicalla undamaged. Two doors further on the negro Masonic temple, large frame structure, was splintered into kindlirg The Metho list and First Presbyterian churches, both brick structures. were crumbled into ruins and residences about them escaped with light damages.

4 GREAT CURSE OF !,

There is no more serious danger TO
health than the presence of too much
uric acid in the body. 1t is the duty
of the kidneys to rid the system of
uric polsons as fast as they accumulate.
When the kidneys fail TO do this work
thoroughly, uric acid attacks begin,
first in one part, then in another.
The cause of these attacks is Sc like
ly to be mistaken, even by a doctor,
that it is well to post yourself on the
subject. If uric acid troubles are
recognized in the beginning. it is easy
to cure the weakened kidneys with
Doans kidney Pills, and when the
kidneys are working right again, the
uric acid will be driven off as fast as
it gathers in the urine.
1t is dangerous to neglect sick kid
neys. 1t leaves the uric acid free to
attack and damage every organ of the
body. The blood gets so thick with
waste matter that it moves slowly, the
heart beats queerIy, the veins and ar
teries harden; uric acid crystals are
deposited in muscles and joints, and
are likely to form into sediment.
gravel and stones in the kidneys and
bladder; dropsy swellings appear and
the gradual tendency is towards
Bright's disease.
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1909-11-17
MODERN LIFE

The pains from uric acid attacks are
characteristic: -backaehe, sciatica, mus
cular or articular rheumatism, neural
gia, lumbago, pains through the, hips
and groin, headache and nervous disor-
ders. When sediment appears in the
urine and you begin to feel odd twinges
of pain, the kidneys are not doing their
duty and treatment with Doan's Kidney
Pills should be begun st once. What
this remedy has done for others it will
do for you.
SALT LAKE CITY PROOF.
Thomas Hemingway, 517 South West
Temple street, SAX Lake City, Utah,
says: 81 gladly confirm the testimonial
l gave some three years ago in favor of
Doan's Kidney Pills. This remedy cer
tainly did me a world of good. was
subject to bad spells of backache, and
l think they were brought on by over
lifting. Shortly after ] procured Doan $
Kidney Pills at F. ]. Hill & Co.'S drug
store, and began their use, 1 knew that
did not need to fear any serious results
from backache and other kidney disor-
ders, as 1 steadily improved. Before
long Doan's Kidney Pills entirely re-
moved my trouble and 1 was thus con-
WINGED that they can be depended upon
to give the desired relief in cases of
kidney troubles
