NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

twenty years. In my work as a nurse.
many skin disease cases came under

Cuticura Remedies as they always

After the use Of only one set she was
perfectly we'll.
"A grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum In one OF her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands

be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.

Heed The Warning
MANY LOGAN PEOPLE HAVE
DONE so.

When the kidneys are sick they
give unmistakable warningsthat should
not be ignored. By examining the ur.
inc and treating the kidneys upon the
first sign of disorder, many days of
suffering may be saved. Sick kidneys
expel dark, ill.smelling urine, full
Of "brickdust" sediment and painful
in passage. Sluggish kidneys cause a
dull pain in the small of the back,
headaches, dizzy spells, tired, languid
feelings and frequent rheumatic
twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only; they cure sick kidneys, and
rid the blood Of uric poison. If you
suffer from any of the above symp.
toms you can use no better remedy.
