A TREAcHERoUs TROUBLE.
Bryan People Point the Way Out.

Kidney diseases are very dangerous.
They come on silently, gain ground
rapidly, and cause thousands of deaths
that could have been prevented by
proper treatment in the beginning. Ma
ture gives early warnings of kidney
disease-backache, twinges OF pain
when STOPPING or lifting, headaches
and urinary disorders. If these symp-
toms are unheeded, there is grave dan
ger of dropsy or fatal Bright's dis
ease Doan's Kidney Pills have earned
reputation for their effectiveness in
kidney troubles, and are known and
recommended the world over. Bryan
testimony proves the merits of Doan's
Kidney Pills to our readers.
Mrs. S. E. Beard, Bryan, Texas
says: -Four years ago | learned OF
the value of Doan's Kidney Pills in
cases of kidney trouble. At that time
| was bothered by a distressing Kid
ney weakness and was obliged to seek
relief. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured
at E. R. Emmels drug store, came tc
my aid and proved their superiority
over the other kidney remedies | hao
tried, by disposing of my trouble.

from bad to worse. The situation
reached its climax some months ago
when the mayor, the chief of the fire
department and several other officials
were sent to jail for conspiracy to de-
fraud the city. The Citizens Charter
Association was formed to wrest con-
troll from the hands of the alleged
grating politicians and to aid In the
redemption of the financial credit OF
the municipality, which had been all
but DESTROYED under the old regime. Al
the November election the new char
ter was adopted by an overwhelming
vote.

Typhoid Left This Brooklyn
Man a Chronic Invalid.
1t Was Not Until He Tried the
Tonic Treatment That His
Health Was Restored.

Many whose healthha been wrecked
by an attack OF typhoid, scarlet or
malarial fever or of the grip, will be in
terested in the manner in which one
sufferer found relief from the condition
in which the acute attack left him. Mr..

Richmond street, Brooklyn. n. u. says:
''About six years ago l had typhoid
fever while working in lumber camp
near Altoona, Pa. The disease left my
bowels in such condition that the
doctors told me 1 could not be cured.
Nv bowels were inactive and bloated.

time but even that did not give me re-
lief. Ny appetite was good but what
ate distressed me- was dizzy and fire.

became in good condition and l have
been well ever since.

is wrecked by the attack OF an acute

the condition is one which calls en-
phatically for tonic for the blood.

medicine for this purpose for they act

Pike superior court, which adjourn
ed at Zebulon Friday afternoon,
made such an onslaught on the
blind tiger business, which has been
fourishing in various portions OF
the county, that is evident that for
a time at least many of them will
suspend for the reason that their
operators will be at work on the
roads of the county.
Judge Robert 7. Daniel gave a
changing sentence to Sarah Edge,
Allora Edge, Woodson Holloway
and Lou Lyons. four of the notori-
GUS violators of the law in Barns
vile. The Pike grand jury, Of
which Mr.. W. M. Howard, of Barnes
vile, was foreman, made record
which brought forth high praise
from Judge Daniel. The session oil
the court has been one of the most
successful held in the county in
years. Judge Daniel is making
quite a reputatson for dispensing
business and is doing his utmost to
enforce the law.
