Backache, head ache, nervousness, lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy, dla betes and Bright's Disease follow in merciless succession. Don't neglect your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with the certain and safe remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills, which has cured people right here in Astoria. P. Pederscn, longshoreman, living at 613 Commercial street, Astoria, Oregon, says. "For twenty years I was afflict ed in one way or another with kidney trouble, suffered a great deal of pain In the small of the back and was contin ually tired and nervous. I had occas ional headaches and also a blurring of the eyesight. Every time I took cold it settled in tho kidneys and added to my troubles, the secretions at such times being irregular and containing sedi ment. My rest was much disturbed at night on this account. I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Chas. Rogers' drug store, and found unexpect ed relief, for which I am very thank ful." For sale by all dealers. Price, BOe.
