What the Kidneys Do
Their unceasing Work Keeps Us
Stronu and Healthy.

All the blood In the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The Kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. when
healthy, they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure mat
te. Is left I'm the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot. dry skin, rheumatism, govt
gravel. disorders of the eyesight ana
hearing. dizziness irregular heart de-
bility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits In
the urine. etc. But IL you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
James McHardy, 3O4 9TH St, Calumet,
Mich. says: II know that Doans
Kidney pills possess great curative
powers. Ny back was lame and there
was much pain In my kidneys. A
short time after L began using Doans
Kidney Pills. these difficulties were
corrected and am now enjoying good
health"

ker, the crayon wizard. on January 16,

Five Husbands in Civil War; Widow
Asks Five Pensions.

Athens, Ca, July 26.-Ordinary {
G. Arnold, of the adjoining count
of Walton, reports the most unusua
petition for a pension recorded IN tht
unofficial archives of Georgia ord1n-
aries offices. Judge Wingheld' {
Clark, had recently an application 10,
two pensions from the same o
for pensions on account OF the loss
of two husbands, both of whom tougn
in the war between the states.
Judge Arnold has exceeded the rec
ord of the Athens ordinary in an ex-
traordinary manner He had an ap-
plicant last week who wants tve pen
sions of $50 each. She stated that
she was before marriage a Miss Nal
colin. Her last husband was named
Partridge. She has nothing of this
worlds goods and needs a support
She has been married five times and
widowed five times. Two of her hus-
bands we're in that relation DURING
the years of the war-one being Kill
led the first year of the war, she mar
ried another soldier, who was killed
in the last year of the war.
The three husbands she has mar
ried since the war were before ma
rage in the service Of the confed-
eracy. She has reputable citizens t"
attest properly her claims to being
the widow of five confederate sol
diers.
