COVEREE BUTTOiNS FOR WHITE S ine of Milliner: GAL EXCITING RUNAWAY ACCIDENT, Two Young Ladles Narrowly Escape Serious Injury. Academy street was the scene ol an exciting and perilous runawaj adventure Monday afternoon. Misses Vivian and Louise Wheeler were driving into town from their home in the snhnrhs when their horse took fright and dashed full speed down the street. The younger girl, Miss Louise, jumped or fell out of the buggy without being hurt soon after the horse started to run. The remaining occupant, Miss Vivian, had a narrow escape?indeed it is hard to believe that she was not seriously injured, but it seems that barring a few slight bruises she is none the worse for her exciting experience. While running full tilt down the street the horse suddenly turned and dashed into Mr Carr's yard, circled around the house and over a flower pit, thence back into the street and turning again into Mr J C Kinder's yard, smashed two gates and halted in his mad career only when he reached the stable in the rear of the lot. Somewhere in the whirlwind finish through Mr Kinder's yard Miss Vivian was thrown out, and as stated before, the young lady fortunately sustained no serious injury. The buggy, too, instead of being do molished, was damaged only to the extent of having one front wheel shattered. IT S YOUR KIDNEYS. Don I Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles. Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright's disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Residents of this vicinity are constantly testifying to permanent cures. P 0 Falkenstein, 415 Darlington St, Florence, S C, says: "Doan's Kidnev Pills are in my estimation an excellent remedy. I suffered almost constantly from a dull ache in the small of my back. I also had sharp, shooting pains in my loins and upon arising in the morning I was very lame and sore and it was quite a little while before the stiffness disappeared. I came to the conclusion that my kidneys were disordered, as the secretions were highly colored and contained a dark sediment. I used about a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and they acted promptly, removing the lameness and soreness from my back, and regulating the passages of the kidney secretions. My back is now free from pain and you are at liberty to publish my statement in return for the benefit I have received from Doan's Kidney Pills." * For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
