NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Mena People Should Learn to Detect the Approach of Kidney
 Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are many. Disordered kidneys of- ten excrete a thick, cloudy, offen- sive urine. full of sediment, irregu- lar of passage or attended by a sen- sation of scalding. The back may ache, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighted down by a feeling of lan- guor and fatigue. Neglect these warnings and there is danger. De- lay often proves fatal.
 You can use no better endorsed kidney remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Mena proof of their merit:
 Mrs. J. w. Cunningham, tii9 Jans- sen avenue, Mena, says: II was suf- fering from soreness across my kid neys. was stiff and lame in the morning and I could neither stoop or lift. Another of my family was using Doan's Kidney Pills and I de- cided to try them. They helped me right away and the soreness in my back soon left me. Once in awhile now the pain comes back, but Doan's Kidney Pills never fail to give me relief"
 Price 50 at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney pills--the same that Mrs. Cunningham had. Foster Milburn Co, Props, Buffalo, N. Y. (Ady.l
