bins creek of the pr<. y,
The Saludn River is in d sev
eral times in the earlier tieodi The
spelling of its name varies s< uwhui.
In one deed it Is spelled "ssalluda"
and in another it l*< spelled "Snludy."

Collelon nud Berkeley counties woro
on the const while Craven county ex
tended to lie- northward and took in

Doan's Kidney Pills, as they proved of
great benefit to me several years ago.
\ that time I suffered a great deal
from backache, several times being
obliged to lay off from work on ac
count of it. There was also a dull
heavy aching across my loins ami
when I caught cold it always settled
in my kidneys and increased my Buff
ering two fold. The kidney secre
tions were frequent In action and 1
.'. 11 obliged to rise several times at
night on this account. After trying
numerous remedies without benefit,
I was led to take Doan's Kidney Pills.
I)) reading of the cures which they
were performing.
They acted very satisfactoryily in
ii y ease and I did not have to take
tliein long when a complete cure re
sulted. 1 would advise anyone hav
ing kidney trouble in any form to go
to the Palmetto Drug Company, pro
cure Doan's Kidney Pills and give
them a thorough trial."
