THE TIRST SIGNS
Of Severe Kidney trouble are
In the Back,
MANY WAIT TOO LONG
Valuable Prescription Whioh Anyone
Can Prepare at Small Coat Tee
Mueh Kidney Trouble and
- Rheumatism Here.
Take care of backache. A ureal
many cases of kidney complaint are
reported about her!, also bladder
trouble and rheumatism.
An authority once stated that pain
In the back, loin or melon of the kid
neys Is tho danger signal nature hangs
out to notify the sufferer that there I
something wrong with the kidneys,
which should receive Immediate at
tention. Only vegetable treatment
should be administered and absolutely
no etrorucly alcoholic patent medicines,
which are harmful to the kldne anJ
bladder.
The flowing prescription, while
simple, harmless and Inexpensive, Is
known and recognized as a sovereign
remedy for kidney complaint. The In
gredients can be obtained nt any good
prescription pharmacy, and anyone
can mix them: Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one-half ounce; Compound Syrup Bar"
saparllla, three ounces. Shake well in
n bottle and take In tipoonful doses
after each meal and at bedtime.
This preparation in said to restore
the natural function of the kidneys,
so they will sift and strain the poison
ous waate matter, uric aclJ, etc., from
the blood, purifying It and relieving
rheumatism. Backache will be re
lieved, the urine will be neutralized
and cleared and no longer a cause of
Irritation, thereby overcoming such
symptoms as weak bladder, painful,
frequent and other urinary difficulties.

One of the important Duties ot Fnysicians ana
the Well-informed of the World
is to lcnrn ns to th relative standing and reliability of t!m leading manufactur
era of medicinal agents, as tho most eminent physicians arc the most careful as to
tho uniform quality and jx-rfect purity of remedies prescriln-d by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and jHTfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has lcomc a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
apical lo the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess ana creditable standing, therefore wc wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with it blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with nil tho term implies. With projxr knowledge of what is liest each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation nnd of effort may Ihj made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines disH iised with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simpfe, wholesome remedy may Ik- invaluable if taken at the
proer time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject nnd lo supply the one crfect laxative remedy which has won
thenppoval of physicians and the world-wide Acceptance of the Well-Informed because
of tho excellence of the combination, known to nil, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to tho California Fig Syrup Co. only. t
This valuable remedy has Ixvn long nnd favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs nnd has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and ns its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians nnd tho Well-informed of the world to be the lest of natural
laxatives, wfc have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more, fully descriptive of the remedy, but. doubtless it will always le
called for by tho shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the. full name of tho Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of
i Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs nnd Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs nnd
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given
"satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle i3 sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and. Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.

Backache and kidney ache are twin
brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the back
ache until you cure the kidney ache.
If the kidneys are well and strong,
the r-st of the sysl&i Is pretty aure
to be In vigorous health. ,
Doan's Kidney Pills make Strong,
healthy kidneys.
Jacob Morelock, farmer, living on
Rural Ave., between Haael and Lau
rel Sts., galem, Oregon, Bays: "What
I said about Doan's Kidney Pilla three
yeara ago after having used them for
which had troubled me for aome time,
waa only the plain truth. I procured
them and they acted up to the repre
sentations made for them and before
I had used a whole box I found great
relief. In a short time the action ofj
tho kidney secretions was corrected
and the pain and aching waa removed
from my back. I cheerfully recom
mend Doan'a Kidney Pilla to an'one
troubled with backache or kidney
complaint"
