IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake The Cause OF Your
Trouble. Delay May Prove
EafOI

Does your back ache? Do you get up
lame in the morning? Do you feel dull
and tired? Does it hurt you to bend
over, to lift anything, to get up from
chair? Do you have sudden catches"
or stitches of pain in the back Does
dull, throbbing ache settle in the
small of your back and bother you day
and night? Do you sometimes feel that
you simply cannot straighten up? You
cannot make any mistake by treating
the kidneys at once, for 1t is these
small troubles that lead to dropsy, dia-
betes and Bright's disease. If there is
any doubt in your mind that the kid
neys are affected, notice the urine for
a few days. If passages are irregular
painful. or too scanty discolored or
full of sediment, the kidneys need
help right away, and there is no other
medicine more helpful than Doan's
Kidney Pills. a simple remedy for the
kidneys. yet so powerful that it quick
ly cures the cause and so ends all the
painful and annoying symptoms.
Home cures prove the merit of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Any person wish

from what he has been able to CLEAN

she'd was the scattering of wood ashes
inside the building and then giving
the place good wetting down with |
water. The friend who relates this in
stance states that if an infested place
Is shut up tight and no animals allow |
ed to enter II the feas will die off. We |
offer this last for what II Is worth. II |
is plain that ieas prefer dry and sandy
places and seem to thrive there best:
hence wetting down Of such places
after scattering ashes would seem to
be at least partial solution, Doubt
less fumigation of infested places
with fumes of sulphur or formalde
hyde would be valuable. Another tells
us that when ones clothing is inhabit-
ed with the pests the only way to have
peaceful sleep is to disrobe on the
back porch, shake out ones under

tack is made during the night to re-
peat the operation out of the window.
