The rulings on the losse by fire, how

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
For Astoria People to
Neglect.
The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get a firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. 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.
