Many La Grande people take their
lives In their hands by neglecting the
kindneys when they know these or
gans need help. Sick kidneys are re
sponsible for a vast amount of suf
fering and ill health, but there Is no
need to suffer nor to remain in danger
when all diseases and aches and pain
due to sick kidneyshrdleutaoinhrdul
due to weak kidneys can be quickly
and permanently cured by the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. The following
statement leaves no ground for doubt.
Robert Ratchllff, West Campbedll St
of Baker City, Oregon, Says: "Some
years ago when living on the farm,
heavy lifting affected my kidneys,
causing severe pains through my back
and loins. My brother, who had used
Doan's Kidney Pills with satisfactory
results advised me to'try them and I
procured a box. They completely
cured me and during the two years
that have since elapsed I have had
no further trouble from my kidneys.
I can speak in the highest terms of
Doan's Kidney Pills."

THE CURE FOk

The usual symptoms of Scrofula are enlarged glands of the serf;
sores and ulcers on the body, skin affections, catarrhal troubles, weal
eyea, and general poor health. The inherited poison, transmitted throng1,
the blood, pollutes and weakens this fluid, and in place of its nutritive
qualities fills the circulation with scrofulous matter, which Baps the vitality
of the entira system. Thousands of children, born with a scrofulous tint,
have spent their childhood in constant physical suilering, and grown to
manhood or womanhood handicapped by ill hoalth and stunted growth,
and perhaps Uter some disease of the bones or joints developed. S. S. S.,
given ia taeir early life, would have prevented this. It would havo
cleansad and purified the blood of the taint, nourished and stengthened
their systems, and assisted each to grow Into strong, healthful manhood
or wemunhood, S. S. S. is the very best remedy for Scrofula. It Eoes
down to the bottom of the trouble, and cleanses the circulation of all
scrofulous matter. It supplies the weak, diseasod blood with strength
and health-building qualities, and under the purifying eilects of this great
remedy all symptoms of Scrofula pass away. S. S. S. contains no mineral:'
