KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
He^l'h l? Worth Saving, and Soin?
Alask* People Know how to Sbvo it
Many Alaska people take their lives
ia their bands by neglecting the kid
neys when thev know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are responsi
ble for a vast amount of suffering and
ill health, but there ia no need to suffer
nor to remain in danger when all disea
ses and aches and pains due to weak
kidney# can be quickley and perman
ently cured by tb<5 use of Doan's Kid
uev Pills,
P. Lamm9y, 121 North Terry Ave.,
Seattle, Wash., says; "It is now three
years since I gave a testimonial rec
commending Doan's Kidney Pills after
the prompt and satisfactory manner in
which this remedy had relieved me of
kidney trouble which h*d affected me
off and on for a number of years. Just
prior to using Doan's Kidney Pills, my
suffering had become more severe, and
one day, 1 was taken with attacks
of sharp pains througa my loins and
bladder. I sent for a doetor who
finally used a catheter. This gave me
roliei a'- the time but still I had trouble
afte; wards with irritation of the
bladder and with the disordered action
of my kidnevs. I began using Doan's
Kidney Pills, and they acted very
promptly and directly on the parts
affeoted, so that ;he bladder trouble
disappeared and In other ways I found
great relief, This was several years
at-o but still I am a hearty advocate of
Doan's Kidney Pills and recommend
them to alt sufferers from kidney
trouble.'' ?

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
yea s was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a loc*l 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
ticnal treatment. H It's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co ,
Toledo, Ohio is the only constitutional
cure on the market. I? 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.
