He cleared the edge of the bears' pit,
but his body fell beside the ben vet

Maher had been employed in the zoo
for several years. He started to prune
a tree which was Just between th?
beaver pond and the large bear pit
After Maher left the tree at the noon

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK BODIES
Kldnop Dlinai' M CnanS Half the Com
. bod Aohe" and Ills of Alaska
People
As one wwtk liDk weaktns a chain, so
weak kidneys weaken the whole body
and hasten the final breaking down.
Overwork, st-ains, colds and other
causes injure ihe kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole
oody suffers from the excess cf uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urniary ills come, and there is an evtr
increasitg tendency towards diabets
and fatal Bright's disease. T' ere is uo
real help for tho sufferer except kid
nev help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and euro every kidney ill.
E. A. Suttnn, of IIjG Walter St., Sa
lem, Orrgon, says: ''For ten or twelve
years rheumatism an<*i kidney trouble
was the scourge of my life and two or
three times I was down on my buck on
account of the pain being so severe. I
could hardly move owing to the lame
ness and had to leave my farm and come
into the city to doc'or lor the trouble
but nothing seemed to bring me more
thnn temporary relief. I was in bad
shape"tu?t before I went to a drug store
and procured Doan's Kidney Pills. My
iimb"|woulp scarcely support me and i
could only get around at times with the
greatest difficulty. Doan's Kidney
Pills benefited me at once and <vhen
I had used used three boxes I was ab
solutely free from every symptom of
my old trouble and my health was bet
ter than it bad been for fourteen year.'
I can conscientiously say that Doans
Kidney Pills are the best remedy of the
kind I ever used or knew of,"
