DON'f EXPERIMENT
Yon Wilt Make No Mistake If Yo3
Follow This Man'* Advice
Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain in the back, urinary
disorders, div.ztness and nervousness, it's
time to act and no time to experiment.
These are all symptoms of kidney trou
ble, and you should seek remedy which
is known to cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy to
use. It has cured many stubborn case.
No nerd to experiment.
A. M. Buck, a painter, living corner
of Ninth and Maple Streets, North
Yakima, Wash., says: "I cannot speak
too h'ghly of lhat wonderful remedy,
Doan's Kidney Pills. My experience
with kidney trouble dates back to the
^?arly psrt of the year, IS94, when I had
a siege of the grip, which left my kid
neys ia a very disordered condition. I
docrored a great deal and took treat
ment from the leadini physicians of St.
P?ul Minn., fortbree months, but only
received a temporary relief. The pain
was in the sma 1 of my back and was so
bad I could not stoop or straighten up
without tortue. After coming out here
the complaint still clung to me nntil a
friend advised me to try Doan's Kidney
Pills. I did not pay much attention to
his advice at the time, because I had
use so many things that 1 had about
lost faiih in medicines, but when I saw
them advertised last summer, as I was i
badly in need of something to relieve
the pain, I tried a box. It gave me so
much relief that I bought more and
continuel until I took five boxes. 1 hey
oertainlv did me an immense amount of
guod, and I have no hesitation in recom
mending them to anyone suffering 'rom
any ailment pertaining to the kidneys."

erating. It is 10 to 16 degrees warmer
than it was last Saturday. At Dawson

John Phllpot Curran, the famous
Irish lawyer, ranks among the wittiest
men the Emerald Isle has ever pro
duced. His wit, however, was some
times turned against himself by the in
tended victim, the following story, tak
en from the volume of biographical
reminiscences entitled ">Irs. Brook
field and Her Circle," furnishing an
amusing example of how Curran was
once outdone:
A brisk young widow iu some part of
Ireland used to preside at the table of
a cofTeehouse patronized by Curran.
Her name was Honor, and one day
there was some disputed charge.
Curran slyly winked at the friend
who happened to be dining with him
and proposed "honor and honesty."
"By all means," added the widow
briskly, holding her glass to be filled,
"let us drink to Mr. Curran's absent
friends."

used on your table and let the bird eat
It as he likes. In a week he'll turn a

troublesome at times. A pinch of pow
