Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat more
rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kid
neys to do more work than nature in
tended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such
as lame back, annoying bladder troubles,
smarting or burning, brickdust or sedi-
ment, sallow complexion, rheumatism,
maybe weak or irregular heart action,
warns you that your kidneys require nelp
immediately to avoid more serious trout

An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and

Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t

Searched Long for Mute Bride.
At wedding celebrated at Peter
borough, England, few days ago the
bride, bridegroom, best man, and
bridesmaid were all deaf and dumb.
The history of the courtship provides
romantic reading. The bridegroom
was formerly motor bodymaker at
Peterborough, and while living there
was informed about young lady liv-
ing in the city who was also deaf and
dumb. For long time he kept
careful watch III the streets for peo-
pie using the dumb alphabet, hoping
to discover the lady. The wculd-be
wooer was disappointed for con-
siderable time owing to the fact that
the lady in question never used the
alphabet. but lip formation of words.
At length he discovered her residence.

EMBARGO ON CHRISTMAS TREES

New York. December 1.-THE Agri-
cultural Department of Santa Claus
and Company is confronted with SER
ious problem and 1t may be that the
traditional stocking will do more than
its customary share this season in the
distribution Of Christmas wares. A
pine blister" epidemic has broken out
among the forests of both New Hamp-
shire and Vermont, with the result that
an embargo has been declared on all
trees exported from those States,
Hence there is a decided shortage
in the Christmas tree market, and
prices have more than kept step With
the present cost of living.
The war has caused another short
affecting tinsel and various other forms
of Christmas tree decoration which
Santa formerly imported each year
from Germany. The demand here also
is greater than the supply, and prices
have accordingly gone up. Some at
tepmt has been made to substitute
Japanese wares, but in each case the
product is so typically japanese" that
much of the Christmas atmosphere is
lost.

TINE n THE TEST


The test of time is what tells the
tale. The public soon finds out when
Misrepresentation are made, and
merit alone will stand the test OF
time.
Maysville people appreciate merit,
and many months ago local citizens
publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills;
they do so still. Would a citizen make
the statement which follows unless
convinced that the article was just as
represented? Below is testimony such
as the sufferer from kidney ills is look
ing for.
Fred Dresel, tailor and justice of the
peace, 1898 e. Second ST., Maysville,
says 81 was troubled by infiamation
of the bladder and annoyance from
my kidneys. The kidney secretions
burned in passage and often were re-
tarded. ! had severe pains across the
small of my back which greatly inter-
fered with my work. Doan's Kidney
pills, which | got at Wood & Sons
Drug Store, gave me prompt relief"
Mr.. Dresel gave the above statement
on February 6, 1908, and on November
IA, 1916, he added: 81 have had the
same faith in Doans Kidney Pills to-
day as ever, for haven't had any trou-
BILE with my kidneys since last recon-
mended them"
Mr.. Dresel is only one of many Mays
Vile people who have gratefully en-
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother

edy--ask distinctly for DOAN'S KID
