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.
