Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain in the back, urinary
disorder, dizziness and nervousness, it's
time to act and no time to experiment.
These are all symptoms of kidney
trouble, and you should seek a remedy
which is known to cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy to
use. It has cured many stubborn cases.
No need to experiment.
A. M. Buck, a painter, living corner
Ninth and Maple Streets, North Yaki
ma, Wash., says: '*1 cannot speak too
highly of that wonderful remedy,
Doan's Kidoey Pills. My experience
with Kidney troubles dates back to the
early part of the year, 1891, when I had
a seige of the grip, which left my kid
neys in a very disorderly condition. I
doctored a great deal and took treat
ment from one of the leading physicians
of St. Paul, Minn., for three months,
but only received temporary relief. The
pain was in the small of my back and
was so bad that I could not stoop or
straighten up without torture. After
coming out here the complaint still
olung to me unt 1 a friend advised ma to
try Doan's Kidneys Pills. I did not pay
much attention to his advice at the
time, because I h.vl used so many things
that I had about lost faith in medicines,
but when I was them advertised last
summer, as I was badly in need of some
thing to relieve the pain, I tried a box.
It give ma so much relief tnat I bought
more and continued until I took live
boxes. They certainly did me an im
meese amount of good, and I have no
hesitation in recommending them to
anyone suffering from any ailment pre
taining to the itidneys."

ITS RECORD
Mt. Yesnvins and Some of
Its History
Mount Vesuvius is the most famous
volcano in the world and the only active
one on the continent of Europe. It
is situated on the Bay of Naples, an
istuary of the Tyrheniau sea, nine miles
east-southeast of Naples, the captial of
the Italian province of that name and
about 125 miles southeast of Rome. It
has two summits, the volcano proper,
about 4,200 feet high, and Monte Som
ma, to the north, 3730 feet high. It is
about 225 miles northeast of Mt. Etna,
whioh is on the island of Sicily, and is
the next most famous European volcano.
As a volcano, Vesuvius was regarded
as extinct in ancient times, and on its
southern slope, five miles distant from
the summit was builtPompeii,a flourish
ing provincial city, containing many
luxurious vitlas of Romans, a seat of
learning and thearts. Almost at the sea's
edge at the food of the western slope,
four miles from thecrater,was the scarce
less important town of Herculaneum.
The first indication that power fat
evil lurked in tre acherous Vesuviuswas
in the year A. D. 63, when severe earth
quakes seriously injured Pompeii and
Herculaneum. The first eruption, and
the worst, unless that now progressing
exceeds it took place lt> years later, in
the year A. D. 79. Both Pompeii ani
Herculaneum were totally destroyed.
They were covered with mud and theti
ashes and lava to a depth of from 7O to
112 feet.
i^Tbe most destructive eruptions smce
that which destroyed these ancient
cities took place Dec. 16, 1631. Others,
more or less notable, occured in 203,
472,512,635, 1139, 1707, 1779. 1794, 182*.
1855 and 1872.
The destruction of Pompeii and
Herculaneum and their resuraction in
recent years are among the most in
teresting events in history. After in
termittant excavating, shortly after the
burial of Pompeii, in search of buried
treasure, the site of the city was lost
and Pompeii and its tragic end f-irgottea
until 1748, when peasants quite by
accident come upon some works of art
in a ruined bouse they had found under
the ground. That revived interest in
Pompeii and since then excavations
have been numerous. Work has been
continuous since 1860, and more than
half of the city has been uncovered.
The very existence of Beculaneum
had been forgotten and the modern
city of Resina, (one of these distroyed
Monday,) had been built over it when
in 1709 an inhabitant of Resina sunk a
well which reiched the ancient level at
a stage of a theatre, revea'ing sculp
tures and marble facings.
The ruins of Pompeii and Herculan
eutn were preserved almost perfectly,
and their resurrection has given us our
best info'mation of ajcient civilization
and many of the world's greatest works
of art.
Historical events and the customs {of
the people of those early days have been
revealed as through no other source of
informatian, as well as have been vivid
pictures of the terrible ending of Vesu
vius' first victims.
Balwer I.ytton's ''Last Days of Pom
peii" was based upon this geatest
tragedy in the world's history.
