Friends of.Xrs. Lane and Bradbury de
clare that thrty are an Innocent and perse

far above the average.
Critics of the hospital allege that Its con
duct, has been a disgrace to the medical
profession, to th community, and to the
Reclamation Service.
The Ferko trial in Bheridan will go a long
way toward establishing tha contentions
of one faction or the other.

Hospital Oaeo Investigate-.
Not many months ago this hospital was
1 investigated by the Department of the In
terior because of charges made against It
by former patients, and because Lane and
Bradbury were government physicians
when the Reclamation Service waa build
ing the Corbet t tunnell soma eight or ten
miles below Cody. Everybody connected
with tha Reclamation Service waa exon
erated. The statements of tha local engin
eers that they never heard any complaints,
seems singular in view of tha fact that it
was the chief topic of conversation within
a radlua of a hundred miles and that 1,300
men were employed upon thla projeot talked
of practically nothing else, at that time,
while open threats of violence were made
against tha doctors involved by the men
who alleged that tha doctors deserted them
when an epidemic of smallpox broke out
upon tha Wiley ditch where they were the
contracting physicians.
For nearly two years a bitter feud haa
waged between tha Lane-Bradbury sym
pathisers and those who have espoused tha
cauaa of the worklngmen who were their
patients, ao tha denoument in the Sheridan
and Basin courts is awaited with more than
ordinary Interest by the hundreds of people
who comprise tha two factions.

Damp, Chill, Changing Weather
Weakens ihe Kidneys
Changeable weather, exposure, grippe, colds and
chills cause most of the kidney trouble that is com
mon in winter and spring. That is what causes those
spells of lame back, backache, shooting pains, tired
feelings, dizziness, nervousness, fits of irritability and
"blues." The kidneys are clogged with impurities, set
back in their great work of' filtering the blood, con
gested, irritated or inflamed. Poisonous uric acid is
collecting where it should not and setting up dis
turbances and pain. Cure the weakened kidneysset
them working right again. No need to experiment
Use Doan's Kidney Pills, which have proved their
merit in thousands of cases.
Omaha Testimony Proves That Doan's
Kidney Pills Cure Sick Kidneys
OMAHA PROOF
OMAHA PROOF
Wm. H. Sate, living at 4211 Burdette
St.; Omaha, Neb., says: "Tbe great value of
Dean's Kidney Pills was fully demonstrated
to me some years ago. I bad been sufferng
from kidney trouble for tbree or four years.
I had severe pains in my back and across
the region of my kidneys and when I caught
cold or overexerted myself, my suffering was
always increased. My work st that time re
quired me to be in an almost constant stoopeo.
poslton and this, no doubt, affected my kid
neys and was responsible for the backache.
Doan's Kidney Pills finally came to my at
tentlon, I procured them from Schaefer's Cut
Price Drug Store and they gave me prompt
relief. I have had some slight return of kid
ney trouble since, but an appeal to Doan's
Kidney Pills has never failed to ward oft any
serious trouble. It gives me pleasure to en
dorse such e. reliable preparation to other
sufferers."
Mrs. O. A. Earl, 101iy2 So. Elev
enth St., Omaha, Neb., says: "The
statement I gave in 1899 regarding the
merits of Doan's Kidney Pills holds
good today. For two years I was trou
bled with backache and though I tried
many remedies, could obtain no relief.
Finally Doan's Kidney Pills were
brought to my attention, and I bought
a box at Schaefer's Cut Price Drug
Store. A short use of them' cured me
and there has never been a return of
the trouble since. I know of another in
stance in which Doan's Kidney Pills were
used for backache with the most satafactory
results."

TELLS A STORY.
aS
lackache Gives You Warning o
Treacherous Kidney Ills
Backache is likely to be the first sign noticed of
kidney disorders that have been coming on for
months. Kidney diseases start mysteriously and
make silent, rapid headway. The advanced stages
dropsy, diabetis, gravel and Bright's disease are us
ually fatal. The best time to cure kidney disease is
in the beginning. Notice the "first stab of pain in
the back, the first irregularity of the urine. Then
give the weakened kidneys prompt help. Neglect
may mean a serious illness. Doan's Kidney Pills
strengthen weak kidneys, cure bad backs, clear and
regulate the urine, and restore natural kidney action.
They relieve quickly and cure permanently.
"Slabbed in the Back"
HAVE YOU EVER HAD ONE OF THOSE
SUDDEN TWINGES?
Have you ever had one of those "cricks" in
the back?
Does you back ache with a dull, heavy,
draggy throb? .
Is it hard to straighten up after stooping!
Hard to get up from a chair, or turn in
bed?
Is the urine dark-colored T Passages too
frequent, scanty or scalding?
Your kidneys need attention. Get a
box of Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy
that has cured thousands.
Omaha People Tell How Doan's Kidney
Pills Cure Dad Backs
OMAHA PROOF
John C. Hoefjer, llvlns at 218 Burdette
St.. Omaha, Neb., says. "A dull, heavy aching
acroba the kidney regions bothered me for
a long time, being especially severe when I
stooped or lifted. 1 used medicines recom
mended for kidney trouble, but my back con
tinued to ache as badly as ever. At last I had
the good fortune to hear of Doan's Kidney
Pills and believing , they would help me, I
procured a box from Schaefer's Cut Price
Drug Store. They positively removed my
trouble and during tbe years that have since
elapsed, I have had no recurrence of it. I
take a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills now
and then and find that they act as a tonic
to my system and keep my kidneys in a
healthy condition. Words but feebly express
my opinion of this valuable remedy."

DOAN'S KIDNEY
OMAHA PROOF
Mrs. Augusta Bohlmann, 1913 Oak St,
Omaha, Neb., says: "It gives me pleasure to
endorse Doan's Kidney Pills. What I stated
several years ago about them was truo and 1
can add today that no symptom of kidney
complaint has ever returned in my case. A
cold which I contracted and which settled
in my kidneys brought on backache. As
years passed the attacks became more severe
and frequent, ai.d I was truly In a bad condi
tion when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills.
They rid me of this trouble in a short time aa
well as disposing of other symptom of kid
ney complaint which had been present. Con
sidering the fact that my age la getting ad
vanced, and that I have never had any return
of kidney trouble, I am sure that it can be
seen how valuable Doan's Kidney Pills are in
cases of kidney complaint."
