There is more Catarrh in this sec
tlor. of the country than all other (lis
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly falling to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Scicuc
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a tcaspootiful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucou
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Alaska Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes
fron the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are sick.
Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin
pale and foamy, or a thick, red, ill
smelling urine, full of sediment and
irregular of passage.
DANG EH SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. ISack pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of
sick kidneys and warn you of the ap
proach ? of dropsy, diabetes and
Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys and cure them per
manently.
Theodore Josephson, r> 1 5 Seventh
St., Astoria, Oregon, says: "About
five years ago I used Doan's Kidney
Pills and derived great benefit. At
that time I was suffering from se
vere pains across my back and loins,
at times so severe that I was unable
to stoop or straighten. My kidneys
also bothered me a great deal, the se
cretions generally being too frequent
in passage. At last Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention
and I procured a box. I used them
and as a result my health is now ex
cellent. I take a few doses of Doan's
Kidney Pills now and then, when
feeling any sign of backache and they
never fail to banish the trouble."
