IN THE SPRING
When Energy and Vitality are
Lowest, then Influenzal
(By 8. C. BOWER, M. D.)
At this time of the year people feel weak:
tired, listless, their blood is thin, they have
lived indoors and perhaps expended all
their mental and bodily energy and they
want to know how to renew their energy
and stamina, overcome headaches and
backaches, have clear eyes, a smooth,
ruddy skin and feel the exhileration of real
good health tingling thru their bodies.
Good, pure, rich, red blood is the best
insurance against ills of all kinds. You
are apt to suffer from an attack of Influ
enza if your health is run down.
Purify the blood and you can defy
influenza. This is the time to clean
house and freshen up a bit.
Drink hot water a half hour before
meals, and for a vegetable tonio there s
nothing better than Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such a fine
reputation for fifty years. It Tsontains no
alcohol or narcotics and is made into tab
lets and liquid. Send 10 centa to Dr.
Pierco's Invalids Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
for trial package.
MarusviUe, Calif. "I needed a tonio;
my blood was thin, I was run-down, my
back ached, my kidneys were weak and
digestion was so bad that I could not even
drink mUkv I remembered that mother
had always depended on Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, so I decided
to take it. In a short time I was greatly
benefited. I continued taking it and was
well woman.". Mrs. J. S. Barker. 219

I got your letter, daughter dear,
With its eulogy in rhyme,

Where the birds sm all the time.

Where the streams are full of finest

Where the whistling farmer's plough.

Turns up the richest mold,
And the valleys in the autumn

Oh, I guess the prairie's calling
But it isn't calling me

RDBY SUES FOR PAYMENT
ON $4,500 PROMISSORY NOTE
A suit as entered in the circuit
court here by James A. Ruby against
Carl O., Sophia C, and C. O. Young,

amount that has been paid in taxes
by him, and $350 attorney's fees,' and

The Cause of Many Mysterious
Pains and Aches
Many women have come to know
that sex isn't the reason for all back
aches, dizzy headaches and urinary
disorders. Men have these troubles,
too, and often they come from kidney
weakness. To live simply, eat spar
ingly, take better care of one's self
and to use Doan's Kidney Pills, is
bound to help- bad kidneys get better.
There is no other remedy so well
recommended by Oregon City people.
Read this case:
Mrs. Kate Flanigan, Sixth & Jef.

Kidney Pills are reliable for I have
taken them on several occasions for
backache and other kidney disorders.

means of letting others know what a
