A WOMANS BACK
The Ache ana Pains Will Disappear
If the Advice of This McCook Citi
zen Is Followed
A womans back has many aches and
pains
Most times tis the kidneys fault
Backache is really kidney ache
Thats why Doans Kidney Pills cure
it
Many McCook women know this
Read what one woman has to say
about it
Mrs D A Jordan living in the north
western part of McCook Neb says
I used Doans Kidney Pills about a
year ago when suffering from kidney
trouble and found them just as reprere
sented At the time I began their use
I had a dull pain through the small of
my back At times I was very weak
across my loins and had such severe
pains through my kidney regions that I
could scarcely bend or stoop I was un
able to sleep half the night and would
rise in the morning feeling tired and un
refreshed The kidney secretions were
very irregular and annoyed me a great
deal on account of their too frequent
action At times I was subject to head
aches was very nervous and the least
thing would serve to excite me After
suffering in this way for some time
Doans Kidney Pills were brought to my
attention and I procured a box at Mc
Connells drug store I used them for
a short time and felt great improvement
in my condition I continued using
them and received a complete cure I
am happy to say that I have not suffer
ed from any symptom of kidney trouble
since that time

ACTION OF ALCOHOL
Tho Seven Stages of Drunkenness and
the Results
According to tho evidence given re
cently by Dr R T Williams an Eng
lish phyylclan hi a London police court
says the Literary Digest he distin
guishes seven stages of drunkenness
irritable mellow pugnacious affection
ate lachrymose followed if the total
doses were large enough by collapse
and death It Is noted by the British
Medical Journal from which this re
port is taken that other authorities
have formulated these stages In differ
ent ways Says this paper
Magnan who was one of the first
to begin the scientific study of the
physiological action of alcohol distin
guished Ave stages first slight ex
citement and a feeling of well being In
which speech and gestures became
more animated in the second stage
ideas became crowded together and
confused the mood being without any
very obvious reason for the difference
gay or sad or full of tender emotion
In the third stage the confusion of
Ideas was greater and accompanied by
incoherence perversion of taste and
smell illusions thick speech vacant
countenance and staggering gait the
fourth stage was coma and the llfth
death Magnans second stage has
been graphically described by Claye
Shaw as a loss of the sense of aware
ness of surroundings
MEW AND MACHINES
The Limit of Human Speed Has About
Been Reached
One thing alone can intervene and
put the curb on the desire for speed
mans powers of endurance Already
there are signs that It has almost
reached its limit The Increase of
nervous diseases the spread of insan
ity these and other warnings should
serve as danger signals that the speed
of modern life is excessive The ad
justing of a mans frame to rapidly
changing conditions great though it
be j et has its limits
Machinery maj be perfected to an
Incredible degree but man unless we
are to conceive of hkn as becoming
absolutely machine like will always
have his limitations of flesh and blood
He will always be a fantastic creature
subject to strange emotions uncertain
gusts of passion sudden tricks of
nerves or of physical exhaustion
Among the daily catastrophies from
There was a recital given at the hll the lust of speed it is rare to find that
it is the machinery which is at fault
It is the failure of the eye to transmit
with sufficient rapidity the danger
message to the brain or an error in
judgment or a sudden nerve failure
one of these which brings about dis
aster Man may perfect the machine
but he remains himself ever imperfect
London Saturday Review
Nurses Dread Lightning
Of all people who are glad when the
season of thunderstorms is past none
are more thankful than professional
nurses
It isnt that we are so afraid of
lightning ourselves said a nurse in
Roosevelt hospital but it has a harm
ful effect on our patients Most sick
people have an unreasonable fear of
lightning In cases of extreme weak
ness or nervousness a dozen flashes of
blinding lightning reduce the patient
to such a state of prostration that it
takes extraordinary efforts on the part
of the nurse to bring him around If
one sick person requires all that extra
attention in a thunderstorm just im
agine the predictment of the nurse who
has a whole ward full of them on her
hands New York Press
On the Job
Amusing epitaphs are common enough
but it is not often that a tombstone
inscription is meant to carry a busi
ness advertisement A West Virginia
man tells of a singular one which may
be seen in a certain cemetery It was
the idea of a widow of a man named
Perkins a partner in a commercial
house known as Perkins Parker
Soon after tho decease of her spouse
Mrs Perkins married Mr Parker her
late husbands business associate The
inscription reads
Sacred to the memory of James
Perkins for thirty years senior part
ner of the firm of Perkins Parker
now Parker Co Harpers Weekly
Her Helpful Hint
The honeymoon had waned and the
cupboard was bare
Dont worry Mabel said the ro
mantic husband as he opened the pi
ano Remember music is the food of
love
But the practical little wife shook
her head
If you really think music is the food
of love she responded perhaps youll
step round and get the butcher to give
you a beefsteak for a mere song
