DOUBLY PROVEN
Stafford Springs Readers can no Longer
 Doubt the Evidence.


 This grateful citizen testified long ago.
 Told of quick relief-of undoubted benefit.
 The facts are now confirmed.
 Such testimony is complete - the evidence conclusive.
 It forms convincing proof of merit. Dwight F. Lull, retired farmer, 35 St. Bernard's Terrace, Rockville, Conn.,, says: For three years I had dull, heavy ache in the small of my back which came on by attacks. When l stopped or sat down for awhile, the trouble changed to sharp twinges. My back tired easily and often I had headaches and dizzy spells. Doan's Kidney Pills proved to be just what needed had not taken them long before I was cured. Several of my friends have also been benefited by this remedy. verify all said about Doan's Kidney Pills when previously recommended them, for they are the best kidney medicine ever used.

DO You USE FACE P0WDER7
II You Do Be Careful TO Keep It From
Getting In Your Eyes.


Face powder has its dangers the
same as gunpOwder. For several
years occasional cases have come I'M
der the observation OF oculists In which
the patients, invariably women. com
plain of vision being blurred, inability
to use the eyes for any length OF time
and severe itching Of the lids. The
slightest rubbing Of the lids produces
a marked redness Of the eyes and only
aggravates the itching. In evere
cases the lids are frequently swollen
from constant rubbing. There is a
sticky, elastic secretion which, when
being removed. pulls out in long
strings.
Microscopic examination Of the Sc
erection reveals masses OF what appear
to be crystals. Until recently no salts
factory explanation Of the presence Of
these crystals in the eye has been
given. Secretions taken from the eyes
of two sisters suffering from this pc
culiar complaint were submitted to the
professor Of pathology Of M Of the
university medical schools who found
that the crystals came from face pow
der. Seven other patients In which
the same symptoms and microscopic
conditions were found all used face
powder.
When the powder is applied to the
face with a pun a part Of the fine dust
is driven upward and lodges on the
moist eyeball. The powder In the
presence of the tears then becomes
m~ucilaginous In character and is not
washed from under the eyelids. The
powder produces the irritation, which
is aggravated by rubbing. Those who
use a channels skin In applying the
powder are less liable to cause the
fine dust to arise. which probably nc
counts for the condition not being
found in every woman using face pow
der. The condition Is quickly relieved
by flushing the eye with borIc acid
solution. The irritation rapidly disap-
pears when the eyes are kept washed
out with a soothing eye wash.-From
