Shepherdstown People Should Not

The appalling death-rate from kid
ney disease is due largely to the fact
that the little kidney troubles are usual
ly neglected until they become serious.
The Slight symptoms often give place
to chronic disorders and the sufferer
may slip gradually into some serious
form of kidney complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney Sc
cretions are irregular of passage and
unnatural, do not delay. Help the
kidneys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders-they act where
others fail. Over one hundred thou
sand people have recommended them.
Here's case at home.

liquor is sold. This should be done
