Dlabetic Troubles.

The dyspeptic has one great advan-
tage over the diabetic. The stomach
Immediately manifests it's displeasure
at i'll treatment-as most dyspeptics
know. 1t sets up pains that call a tenn
porary halt. But the overworked pam
creas suffers in silence. 1t does not in
simultaneously warn it's possessor to
stop eating the things that signify de-
struction. Only in the temperance of
sugar and acid, and then of coma, does
it voice it's protest. Translated into
practical terms, this means that the
diabetic must exercise even greater
force Of character than the dyspeptic.

When land is cropped permanently

grasses, and the quality of the crop
becomes so poor that it ranks as

DON'T DELAY
Some Smyrna People Have
Learned That Neglect is
DANGEROUS

The slightest symptom of kidney
trouble is far too Sc ious to be over
looked. It's the small, neglected
troubles that so often lead to serious
kidney ailments. That pain in the
"small" of your back; that urinary
irregularity; those headaches and
dizzy spells; that weak. weary. worm
out feeling, may be natures warning
Of kidney weakness. Why risk your
life by neglecting these symptoms?
Reach the cause of the trouble while
there yet is time--begin treating
your XII 1neys at once with tried an
proven kidney remedy. No need t
experiment-Do Doan's Kidney Pills have
been successfully used in thousands of
cases of kidney trouble for over so
years. Doan's Kidney Pills are used
and recommended throughout the
civilized world. Endorsed at home.
