EMERSON ON FEAR OF DEATH
Sage Considered Christianity's Teach
ings Had Added Much to Dread
of "King of Terrors."
t
Tho JournnlB of Ralph Wnldo Em
erson contain many rofloctlons and
thought-provoking paragraphs. Iloro
Is ono set down In Novombor of 1830:
"la It possible for religious princi
ples to ovcrcomo tho foar of death?
It is commonly overcome, as Bacon
observes, by ovory passion and hu
mor in turn, love, honor, revenge, fun,
etc. Tho instances aro familiar ot
men habitually encountering tlio great
est risks sailors and soldiers march
ing up to a bottory for Blxpenco a
day. And multitudes of tho lower
classes of mankind dlo continually
with almost no exhibition of fear.
In nil these Instances I apprchond
It is not n conquest ot tho fear,
but a setting it asido. It la want
of thought. It Is a dogged atten
tion to tho facta next thorn and
not n consideration of tho ovont of
death.
"On tho contrary, spiritual men
exhibit not infrequently strong ap
prohonslon, great gloom, nB Dr.
Johnson, at the thought of dissolu
tion. Tho more dollcato tho struc
ture of tho mind tho stronger this
emotion, I suppose; and this for two
reasons, first, becauso such persons
have moro to loso in losing llfo,
and secondly, becauso thoy aro not
yet spiritual enough to overcome
fenr.
"I supposo that ho who lives In
tho dally cxcrclso of tho purest and
most expanded affoctlons, especially
has attained religious principles nnd
loves to mcdltato on God andhoavon
I supposo Ufa la worth to him
infinitely moro than it Is to a son
eual wretch; llfo to him is n world
ot sweet nnd holy thought, and tho
idea of losing it is tremendous. I
think, thoroforo, that Christianity has
dono much to increnso tho fear ot
death in tho world by tho general ad
vnnco it has brought about in tho cul
tivation ot tho moral powors, whilo
it ban yet failed to affect any largo
portion of society to that degrco qb to
ovorcomo this terror."

BACKACHE -A SIGNAL OF DISTRESS
A WARNING THAT MUST NOT BE IGNORED
Pain'in the hack is the kidneys' signal of distress. If this ,
timely warning , is ignored, kidney disease silently fastens
its deadly grip for kidney sickness first shows itself in
pains and disorders in other parts, and the real cause is too
often hidden until fatal Brighr's disease or diabetes has set
in. Suspect the kidneys if you are rheumatic and nervous
or have lame back, painful, too frequent or scanty urination,
weak heart, dizzy spells, headaches, bloating or neuralgia.
What you want is a special kidney medicine not an
experiment, but one that has stood the test for years.
Doan's Kidney Pills relieve weak, congested kidneys cure
backache regulate the urine.
A KIDNEY REMEDY OF 75 YEARS' EXPERIENCE
DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS began curing lame backs and sick kidneys 75 years ago. The demand
lead a nearby druggist, James Doan, to prepare it for sale. From him the magic formula passed to the pres
ent proprietors. Now, as in those early days, Doan's Kidney Pills are made from only the purest drugs
and are absolutely non-poisonous. They are used and praised all over the civilized world.
DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS MAKE LASTING CURES

Tells A Story.

J. R. Black, 1005 E. Sixth street. Tbpoka,
Kansas, says: "In tho spring of 1899 Doau's
Kidney Pills brought me such great relief that I
did not hesitate to make the fact known and give
this remedy my most earnest endorsement. In
my statement I said that for three years I had
suffered from kidney complaint. I had a dull
grumbling ache across the small of my back that
greatly inconvenienced me when reaching and
straining in doing my work, An annoying kidney
weakness was also in evidence and it was out of
tho question for me to sleep well. In the morning
I was all tired out and it can be seen that I was
in bad shape. Tho use of Doan's Kidney Pills
quickly nnd surely drove away these symptoms of
kidney complaint and I have since been in good
health.
The foregoing statement was given in March
1905, and when Mr. Black was interviewed on
Nov. 12, 1908, he said : "I have never had a
return attack of kidney complaint and I know that
my cure is a permanent one. My faith in Doan's
Kidney Pills is stronger than ever.
Mrs. James Crooks, First St., N. W., American
Fork, Utah, says, "I had kidney complaint for ten
years or more. Sometimes a twinge darted through
the small of my back and I often became so helpless
that I was compelled to go to bed with my clothes
on. Tho attacks often lusted for days nt a timo
and I could not even stoop to put on my shoes.
My condition was certainly alarming. The secre
tions from my kidneys were irregular in passage
and contained n heavy sediment after standing. I
well know what the misery kidney complaint
causes and I can therefore appreciate the merits
of n remedy that cures this disease. Doan's
Kidney Pills lived up to the claims made for them
in my caso and effected a cure. My kidneys wcro
restored to a normal condition and my health
greatly improved." (Statement given Aug.22,1907.)
On Aug. 24, 1969, Mrs. Crooks was interviewed
by ono of our representatives and she said: "It
gives mo pleasure to reendorse Doan's Kidney
Pills. They cured my backache and my health
is now good. Other members of my family havo
taken this remedy with decided benefit."
