HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Butler Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.

DANGER SIGNAL NO. l comes
from the kidney secretions. They
will warn you when the kidneys are
weak. Well kidneys excrete clear,
amber fluid. Disordered kidneys
send out thin, pale and foamy, or a
thick, red, ill-smelling urine, full of
sediment and irregular Of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull aud
heavy, or sharp and acute, suggest
weak kidneys and in that case warn
you of the danger of dropsy, gravel
and Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills are endorsed by thousands.
Here's Butler proof.
Mrs. B. F. Johnson, 200 South
Main ST., Butler, NO., says: Il suf-
fered intensely from kidney trouble.
My back ached so badly that l often
thought could not indure the misery
any longer. Finally, used box Of

Clay's Drug Store, and they cured
