DON7? tXPf RIMtNT
You Will M?k? No UliUka If Yea
Follow This Man's Aduioe
Nover neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain in the back, urinary
disorder, dizziness and nervousnes-, 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: "I cannot speak too
highly of that wonderful remedy,
Doan's Kidney 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
clung to me unt.l a friend advised me to
try Doan's Kidneys Pills. I did not pay
much attention to his advice at the
time, because f bad used so many things
tba'. I had about lost f -it h in medicines,
but when I was them advertised last
summer, as I was badly in need of some
th'ng to relieve the pain, I tried a box.
It give me so much relief tnat I bought
more and continued until I took five"
boxes. They certainly d d roe an itn
meese amount of good, and I bav? no
hesitation in recommend! t em to
anyone suffering from any ailment pre
t.iining to the -tidneys."

! SALUTING A SKEEZEB
A CUSTOM THAT BELONGS TO EVER*
NATION AND CLIME.
Tfcere Are Many and Varied Annrrra
to the Qontloa, Why Do We Do It t
That Was Aakeri b; Pliny Some
Nineteen Centnriea A no.
"Wly do we salute the sneezer?" ask
ed Pliny ulueteen centuries ago. We
still ask tlie question, and one won
ders If Pliny ' could collec t so many
ingenious replies as the ana of tlie
twentieth century furnish.
In Caxton'a 14SS edition of "The
Golden Legende" Is an account of n
pestilence In Home In the time of Greg
ory the Great, from which many died
suddenly. "In this manere, sometyme
snesylng they dcyed, ao that when any
persone was herd snesylng, anone they
that were by said to Ijym, God helpe
you, or Cryst helpe, and yet endureth
the eustome." As Pope Gregory reign
ed In the sixth century Pliny's query
far antedates the explanation In "The
Golden Legende."
Iu the Buddhist Scriptures, dating
at least 250 B. C, It Is related that
Buddha, when preaching one day to
his disciples, sneezed, whereupon all
exclaimed: "May the Blessed Lord
live! May the welcome one live!" thus
seriously Interrupting the discourse.
Buddha said, "Tell me, when a person
sneezes. If the bystauders say. 'May
you live,' will he live the longer or
die the sooner for it?" "Certainly not.
lord." So he forbade them to say It.
But the people took offense because the
priests did not thus salute thein. and
Buddha revoked bis command.
The Talmudic tradition is that the
custom dates from Jacob. Before his
time man did not die of disease, but
when his appointed time was come he
sneezed once and was dead. Jacob pe
titioned for exemption from this law,
and his prayer was granted on condi
tion that among all nations a sneeze I
should be hallowed by the words. "God
bleas you."
The Greeks traced tlio custom back
to the ruyth of Prometheus, who made
an Image of clay and wished to give It
life. From the sun he stole a reedful
of rays, and, hastening back to his
statue, be placed the reed under Its
nostrils, producing a sneeze? a phe
nomenon we may at any time produce
by standing In the sun. At this sign
of life in his creation Prometheus ejac
ulated a blessing and a prayer for its
preservation, and this response to a
sneeze has been handed down through
all generations.
Also in the story of the Sliunamite
rliild restored to life by the praphe
Kllsha do we find the idea that this
convulsive effort of nature is the first
sign of life. "The child sneezed seveu
times, and the child opened his eyes."
According to Scottish folklore, a new
born child M under the fairy spells un
til it sneezes. Aristotle mentions tilt
practice of physicians who, when death
seems near, give medicines to lu.tuce
sneezing, hoping thereby to arouse the
failing faculties. Aristotle seems to
have given much attention to omens
of sneezing. He says a sneeze 6n the
right baud brings good fortune; on thr
left hand it betokens 111.
In the Odyssey, when Penelope calls
on the absent Ulysses to punish wrong:
Telemachus then sneezed aloud.
The smllins queen the happy omen bless
ed,
"80 may these Impious fall by fate op
pressed."
St Augustine records that when the
ancients arose In the morning If they
sneezed while putting on- their shoes
they Immediately went back to bed
again in order to get up more aus
piciously and so escape misfortunes
likely to occur during the day. If a
Hindoo sneezes while performing his
morning ablutions In the Ganges he
touches lis forehead, nose, chin and
cheeks with the tips of his fingers and
recommences his prayers from the very
beginning. In illness sneezing Is con
sidered a good omen, a sign of return
ing health. Howell In 1G59 said, "He
that bath sneezed twice, turn him out
of the hospital." Among the ancients
if any one sneezed directly after din
ner a dish was brought back and tast
ed to avert misfortune.
The custom of saluting belongs to
every nation and clime. In Ethiopia
when the king sneezed those about
him saluted so loudly that they were
heard and echoed through the whole
city. In 1542 De Soto had an inter
view In Florida with a caoique who
during conversation happened to
sneeze. All his attendants bowed their
heads, opened and closed their arms
and saluted the prince with "May the
sun guard you, .shine on you, defend
you, prosper you," and similar phrases.
An Italian child's primer of 1553 says,
"Being prompt In saluting any one
who may sneeze and returning thanks
to any who on such an occasion may
have wished you well."
An epigram In the Greek anthology
shows It was customary to say "God
bless you." The ancient Romans said
"Salve." The modern Roman of the
lower class says, "Figll maschl" (May
yon have male children). The north
Germans say, "Your good health;" In
Vienna, "God be with you;" In Ireland
the peasant says, "God bless your hon
or," "Long life to your honor.'-' The
Russian form Is "To your good health"
or "How do you do?" English folklore
la full of rhymes about sneezing on
certain days. In Devonshire they say:
Bnecze on Sunday morning fasting,
Kou'll enjoy your own true love everlast
ing.
This Is but one of the many that are
In use all over the land.
