SOFTNESS OF SEALSKIN.
Ia Rivaled by Hutmin H.-ilr Where
Dandruff Is Kradlcnted.
Sealskin Is ndmired the world over for
Its softness and glossiness; and yet the
human h:>lr is equally as soft and glossy
when healthy; and the radical cause of all
hair trouble Is dandruff, which Is caused
by a pestiferou: parasite that saps tho
vitality of the hr-.Ir at Its root. Newbro's
Herplcide is the only preparation that Is
atal to the dandruff germ. Without dan
Jruff there is no falling hair, but a lux
uriant growth of glossy, soft hair Is cer
,ii*\ S-ouring tho scalp won't cure dan
Iruff. Kill the dandruff germ. Thous

Grnutl Service for People who
Work in Alaikn
Moat Alaska people work every day
in sornn strained, unnatural position?
bending constantly over a desk ? riding
on jolting wagons or cats ? doing 1 >bor
lous housework; lifting, reaching or
pu'ling, or trying the back in ahu: dred
and one d.fferent ways. All these
strains tend to wear, weaken and injure
the kidnevs until they fall behind in
feir work of filtering the poisons from
the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys, put new strength in b?d
W. H. Wood of 250 cottage St., Sa
lem; Ore., says: "A good mauy years
ago l got badlv kicked by a mule right
over the kidneys and at another time
while digging a well it caved in on me
also Injuring my back. Since then I
, have had more ?r less annoyance from
my Kidneys. Change of weather caused
; my back to ache and when-I worked
: hard it became so lame that i could
hardly straighten up after stooping, I
| procured Doan's Kidney Pills at a drug
store and since taking them, although
1 1 have continued to work hard and be
t exposed to severe weathe,, not an ache
or other symptoms of my former
trouble remains. This clearly proves
that Doan's Kidney Pills act up to
representations made of them. I also
know of other people who hive derived
grea< benefit from their use. I am glad
to let others know the merits of Doan's
Kidney Pills for backache and kidney
trouble.

There is more Catarrh in this section
oTthe country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease and pre
scribed local remedie., and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disea e and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. H-ll's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co ,
Toledo, Ohio is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally In doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
they offer one hundred dollars for any
case it to cure. Send for circular
and testimonials.
