DOCTORS FALL IN LINE
Practicing Physicians recognize the unfailing reliability of Doan's Kidney Pills by pre
scribing them for Backache , Kidney , Bladder , and Urinary Disorders a tribute won
by no other Proprietary Medicine. Four cases cited from -'Notes of His Practice , "
by Dr. Le and Williamson , of Yorktown , Ark.
FOSTER-MILBURN Co. , Buffalo , N. Y. YORKTOWN , ARK. , March i , 1904.
Gentlemen : I have been engaged in the practice of medicine in this section
for ten years. This is a very sickfy climate , on the Bayou Bartholomew , near the
Arkansas River. It is particularly malarious and miasmatic ; we meet with many
End various abnormal conditions of the human family , prominent among the cases
in which I have been called upon to prescribe is kidney disease. Many of these
disorders manifest themselves by pains in the back , often extending to other parts
of the body ; sometimes headache is present , caused by uraemic or chronic acid
poisoning , soreness in region of kidneys , cloudy , thickened and foul-smelling urine , '
i
discharges of pus or corruption ; inflammation of the kidneys , extending to the
bladder , is caused by excess of uric acid and decomposition of the urine. Hem
orrhage is sometimes met with , caused by high state of inflammation or conges
tion.
There is no class of diseases a doctor is called oftcner to treat than the variety
of kidney diseases , in many of which the patient will have chills or rigors , fol
lowed by fever , a result of the kidneys failing to eliminate the uric scid poison
from the system. Such cases require the kidneys restored to their natural func
tions , then the poison and foreign substances are removed shock to the nervous
ystem averted , and natural health restored.
I have , for some time , been using Doan's Kidney Pills in these many mani
fcstations and with uniform success , curing most cases. I can further say that
even in hopeless cases where they have waited too long , Doan's Kidney Pills afford
much relief and prolong life. I can recommend the pills in conditions ojf exces-
dve r deficient secretion of urine , as also in convalescence from swamp-fever and
malarial attacks , as verified by the following cases in my practice.

cured.
These are a few of the typical cases in which I have used Doan's Kidney
Fills. In a great many instances I use them alone with curative results , while
with some others indicated remedies are associated.
I believe that by the judicious use of Doan's Pills many serious complica
tions are arrested and many hopeless and incurable cases of Bright's disease pre
vented.
I have often found that one box of the pills is all that is required to effect a
cure , but in some cases I continue their use until all symptoms are entirely absent

DEER IN CONNECTICUT.
Becoming Almost Annoying as Rab
bits Are in Auntralia.
Deer are becoming almost as much
of an annoyance to the farmers of
Connecticut as are the rabbits to those
of Australia , with this difference that
lu the latter country they can' employ
means of self-protection to any limit
they see fit But in Connecticut , if a
farmer sees a herd of deer feeding on
his corn or tramping on Ms oais or
browsing upon his apple or peach trees
he can only use moral suasion. Were
he to shoot an alien co\v thus engaged
he could probaly settle for $30 or $40 ,
or Tvhaterer the market price of the
beast might be ; but if ne shoots a deer
It means a $100 fine or thirty days in
jail , or both. The deer seem eo have
caught on to the situation and highly

tinuous there until June , 1911 , a , , the
end ofvMch time , unletes theiir pre&iart
immunities are withdrawn , thej wi

tle. They are gentle and confiding
creatures , and , of course , they must
eat. At the same time , the situation
Is becoming formidable , and it is re
ceiving considerable discussion by the
press of the state , though even that i.s
hard put to it to suggest a practical
remedy. The New London Day ob
serves , with reference to the suggestion
tliat there sliould be an open season ,
during which they might be hunted :
"Deer may be a nuisance , they may
destroy some propei-ty ; but they are
graceful and beautiful animals , and/they
wouldn't hurt the least living thing.
As much cannot be said of tine average
fool -with a gun , -who fancies he is a
deer nun/tea / * . He may now and then
shoot a doer , but he Is much more like
ly to put one of nis crazy bullets

or through a fellow kunter. " Fresa
meat of all kinds is high and venison
Is good , but In our sister state it is
venison , venison everywhere , but not
a bit to cat Perhaps this situation
throws a little sdde light on the cult
of vegetarianism. Let us imagine the
same immunity extended to the catUe ,
the siheep , the goats , 1Jlie swine and t3ie
poultry. Not only would the domestic
animals occupy the earth , but they
would not leave food enough to keep
the vegetarians alive. Regarded from
flu's point of view , the old order of
things is Mkely to continue for some
time longer. Boston Transcript.
GROWTH OF INSANITY.
In Cities It Is IncrenBmu and Experts
Demand n Chaujje.
What change can be made in city
life to stop its enormous production of
Insanity , yearly increasing ?
Here is a question which is yet to
be solved. The medlical fraternity is
nt a loss for a general remedy ; puzzled
to find mains of overcoming the bane
ful effects of a city's acute activity
on Its general mental condition.
London produces seventy lunatics a
week and Now York is almost as bad ,
and Its increase Is greater proportion
ately. Experts say that If it were not
for the fact that nature steps in and
generally refuses to grant children
after the fourth or fifth generation ,
conditions would be far worse than
they are.
The outlook of the future Is not
bright , according to medical opinion ,
unless the minds of the city people are
better able within the next few gener
ations to adjust themselves to their
progressively complicated environment ,
unless balancing interests and mental
habits are developed to overcome the
unnatural nervous tension of city
life.
life.So
So complicated is the environment of
those who live in great towns , so many
and so varied are the calls upon tli ir
self-control and upon their effort-mak
ing powers , that tiheir mental machin
ery is apt to become more complex. Its
parts rxHiuire more construction and
adjustment and tne whole machine
Is more apt to get out of gear and to
suffer derangement than in the more
primitive and less emotional life of

Freak Coins Have Gone.
Recent mention of the dlssapearance
if the $2.50 gold piece from circulation
md the premium this coin commands
as a curio have set many to rummaging
In old pocketbooks and the bottoms of
cash boxes and drawers hi search of
odd or out-of-date coins. Some have
found a $2 piece , but not many. The
$3 piece , one quite common , but always
a sort of curiosity , is ofteaer found ,
and many have specimens of the little
gold coins representing 25 and 30 cents ,
which were not minted by the general
government and probably have not so
much gold in them as they represent.
They used to pass as coin , but were
never in general circulation , being so
easily lost that they soon became
scarce.
One of the handsomest coin relics
seen is a $10 gold piece bearing tine
mint stamp of 1799. It Is larger than
the present $10 gold piece. Tfce owner
has it hung ha a band and wears It as
a cbann on his watch chain. The own

this relic. The old octagonal $50

largely used as a circulating medium.

The Only Sanitary and Permanent Wall Coating
Is not a disease-breeding , hot water cine wall finish , famish
ing a lodgment and harbor-ground for disease germs ; it is a natural , rock-base
composition , in white and many exquisitely beautiful tints ; in powder form , ready
for use by simply mixing with cold water. Anyone can brush it on.
A LA BAST IN E cements to walls , distroys disease germs and vermin , and never rubs
oft or scales. Other wall coatings , under fanciful names , and usually mixed with hot
water , are unhealthful kalsomines , stuck on the wall with oluo , which soon rots ,
nourishes germs of deadly disease , rubs and scales , spoiling walls , clothing and furniture.
When it is necessary to reflnish , the old coats must be washed off an expensive , nasty ,
disagreeable job , making the rooms damp and unfit to live in.
When walls are once coated with Alabastine , succeeding coata may be applied , year
after year , without washing the walls , thus saving great expense and annoyance.
Hot and Cold Water Kalsomines Have No Merit
Gc tie dealers try to aell them , buying them cheap , and trying to sell on Alabastine's demand
until such time as their customers learn of the imposition.
THEY ARE WORTHLESS PREPARATIONS
If you cannot buy Alabastine of your hardware , paint or drug dealer , refuse all
imitations , and write us. "We will tell you where you can get Alabastine without delay ,
