diabetes and Brights disease follow
in merciless succession Dont neglect
your kidneys Cure the kidnevs with
the certain and safe remedy Doans
Kidney Pills
Mrs M J Wyatt Minden Nebr
says For eight years I suffrred from
acute attacks of backache brought on
bv a disorder of my kidneys My con
dition was such at times that i was
hardly able to stoop and to go up and
d wn stairs was an action attended with
much misery If I exerted myself a
back would become
dull aching across my
come so acute that I would be forced
to lie down and rest The secretions
from mv kidneys were also too frequent
in action and annoyed me a great deal
I became tired and languid was restless
at nights and arose in the morning all
worn out A few months ago I began
taking Doans Kiduey Pills and fouud
such prompt and gratifying results that
I continued their use until completely
cured

feet are so mutilated that the beast Is
forced to walk on all fours could not
utter articulate sounds rise and sit
down in short make the gestures of a

of this monstrosity had him brought to
his palace where his hairy skin and
bestial appearance caused quite as
much terror as surprise Upon being
