TOO DANGHKOl'S TO OYF.HLOOK. (
Walhalla People Will Do Well to
Heed tbe Warning.
To have good health, thc digestion,
heart, lungs and kidneys must work I
perfectly. When lhere ?s anything I *
wrung with the digestion, heart or
lunns, a very noticeable pain or dis-!
tress nixes prompt warning. Kidney j
trouble is more easily overlooked,]
however, and too often gains a long
sturt. But kidney trouble does give
early signs, and backache, headaches,
dizzy spells, rheumatic pains, too fre
quent, scanty or painful urination
should not be neglected. When these
warnings appear, use Donn's Kidney
Bills, the reliable, successful, strong
ly-recommended kidney remedy. As
sist lin1 medicine hy taking things
easier, reducing tho diet and tho usc
of liquors. A severe attack of kidney
disease may be avoided. Dean's Kid
ney Bills have won the grateful praise
of Walhalla people. Head this Wal- ?
halla resident s endorsement:
W. s. Urabi, blacksmith, North
Church street. Walhalla, says: "I
hurt my back and since Iben have
boon troubled by kidney complaint.
Whenever 1 had ono of those attacks,
I had severe pains In my kidneys and
across my loins. Tho action of my
kidneys was irregular and I bad no
control over the kidney seo ?tions.
I often had dizzy spoils and dull pains
in tho back of my hoad. For the past
ten years I have used Udall's Kidney
Bills at these limos an ri have never
failed to receive pron*pt relief."

"Tanlac gave me back my health

had." declared Mrs. Nancy Smalley,
of 2 ! Seth street. Greenville, in a
statement she gave in endorsement
Of Taiihu;. Continuing. Mrs. Smalley
said:
"I suffered from a bad form of
liver trouble and general weakness
I was troubled a lot with a dizzy,
staggering tooling and my appetite
was almost gone. My nerves had
gone t>? pieces and I was miserable
with nervous.tess almost all the
time. My liver was the causo of all
the sickness I had during the past
several years, and I felt badly most
af the time.
"My complexion had become yel
low, my tongue was coated and my
??roath was bad, and 1 had 'that lazy
ooling' all the tune. Really, I never
lid feel well, but I was weak and
Ired and worn-out continually. My
ood rlid not digest well and my
neals felt like a brick in my sto
uach, and lt seemed that they nour
sbod nie little or none at all.
"I bad heard ai lot about the
treat relief Tanbie was giving peo
de in Greenville and I bought a hol
lo. I gained eight pounds as a re
mit of laking the Tanbie, and now
am in good heall li and am not
rouhled with any of these ailments
bad. That is what Tanbie did for
lie. It banished my troubles. The
l'a ii lac gave me a lino appetite,
.I ea red up my skin, tho coating left
ay tongue and I was soon freo of
nd igest ion.
"I had only to take one bottle Ol'
l'anlac to get my system in good
ihape, oven if I bad bad those tren
des several years, and I took thal
mille about lb roi1 months ago. And.
duce I took tho Tanbie I have been
II better health than I have for seve
