See that they hare the amber hue u of health; The discharge not eicessive 01 t infrequent; * ~ Contain no "brick-dust like" sediment. v Doan'a Kidnev Pills will do this tor jou. They watch the kidneys and cure them when they're sick. W K White, living on South Boundry St, Manning, S C, says: "I suffered from kidney complaint for some years. I was forced to arise frequently during the night on account of the too frequent action of the secretions and I also had severe backaches aad sharp pains across my loins. At times I was so lame and stiff that I could hardly turn over in bed and mornings I found it very difficult to dress myself. If I sat down for a little while I could hardly arise and had been in this s: condition for a long time without finding a remedy that would help me until I procured Doan's Kidney Pills. I used but oue box when the pains were banisfced and the lameness aud soreness disappeared. I do not have to get up nights to the secretions, and am feeling twenty years younger. I highly recommend Doan's Kidney Pills and can say that I never U3ed a remedy that gave me such prompt relief." Foi sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

We eat too much, and breathe too little. ^ife is combustion?the digestive tract is a boiler. And as oxygen is necessary to fire, so it is to life. The Value of exercise in the open air lies in the fact that it is getting a goodly draft of oxygen through your system, and this forced draft is both eliminating refuse and burning up the Jag. These things are all so trite and ?\ true that it seems silly to write ^ them out for cultured people, and yet cultured and educated people are sick quite as much as are the other kind. In fact, more so, since necessity is often removed, and the person has the privilege of going to bed in the morning, getting up when he pleases, eating a multiplicity of dishes that set up an internecine war, giving the saw-buck absent treatment, and forcing or bribing other folks to wait on him. It is a curious comment on our I ! civilization to find our great saniII irium? and health rcaorts full of college graduates. Harvaid, Yale. ; Princeton. Dartmouth, Yassar, I Smith and Wellesley are all repre 1 sen ted constantly at Battle Creek, Mount Clemens.

A great surgeon tells me that he has never yet seen a case of appendicitis where the patient had not been addicted to the Beechum Habit. ! That is to say, this disease is the re- ? suit of medicine, just as are many < others. ' So here is the prescription: Get ] the Health habit? 1 Bv throwing physic to the dogs? because it will not hurt the dogs, since thev know better than to swallow it. I>rink pure water. Eat what you like, but do not overeat. i Have a regular daily occupation. Breathe deeply and much in the opeu air. Have a veranda bedroom open, if possible, on two sides, or at least sleep in a room with windows run up wide, even if the water pitcher Ifieezes. Think well of everybody, especially doctors, for good doctors everywhere are practising a Science of Prevention and are doing the best they can, considering the ignorance, superstition, aud inertia which they have to combat in their own mind8 and those of the patieuts.?Elbert Hubbard in October Lippinrott's Deaf less Cannot he Cared by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portiou of the . ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of , the mucons lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is tne result, and unless the inflammation . can be taken out and this tube | restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by , Catarrh, which is nothing but an ( inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will sdve One Hundred Dol lars for aoy case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F J Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0.

C.?(Special.)?In all the !tfe of the State Fair? forty years? j there have never been anything like the races that are scheduled for this? ; year. The fair opens October 26th and 1 loses October 30th. There will be four lays of racing. Already Ave stake races have been arranged for trotters' ] vnd pacers. Purses will be offered for .oth harness and running horses. Between 16,000.00 and J7.000.00 has l .?cen offered as prises for these races. The attractive prises, together with the [ act that so many of the Northern and Kaatern tracks have had trouble with the racers, will make the entries here .'air week the best aggregation of fast horses ever seen anywhere In the ! Strings of horses from the most re- | nowned stables In the country will be here fair week. With the races nearly two months off, the entries for the I stake races oounted up to ninety-three, and It Is expected that more than a hundred of America's finest racers will be entered for the stake races. The purse races will be much above the average this year. More money Is offered and better horses will be raced. The track has been put In apple pie order and the grandstands enlarged and reworked. This was necessary to accommodate the immense crowds that will witness all of the races during fair week, this being the first of the series in the Virginia-Carolina Circuit. There will be other sports. Davidson College plays Clemson on Wednesday, and the University of South Carolina plays Davidson College on Thursday. Mr. r. c. Keenan will have the races In charge, and he knows his business. President. Mobley expects the races this year to bring people to the fair from every part or the State and from manjr surrounding States.
