Dieting Invites Disease.
f To cure Dyspepsia or Indigestion it is I?
no longer necessary to live on milk and iJ
toast. Starvation produces such weakness
that the whole system becomes an 8A?
easy prey to disease. Kodol Dyspepsia A;
Cdre enables the stomach and digestive 5?.
organs to digest and assimilate all of the
wholesome food that one cares to eat,
and is a never failing cure for Indigestion,

No wonder scores of Union citizens 1

make anyone happy to find relief after 1
< years of suffering, l'ublic statements 1
* like the following, are but faithful representations
of the daily work done in
Union by Doan's Kidney Fills.
E. L. Kingsmore, the well-known
farmer, living two miles outside of
Union, says: I have suffered for thirty-five
years with my kidneys. I first
had it when, ft boy, hut of late years it
has been worse. My ktdncys pained
me so that I thought it would kill me.
Right across the small of my back, and
through the hips I had such pains that
I was obliged to get down on the floor
many and many a time and as for doing
my work when these attacks came
on, that was simply out of the question,
It was all I could do to draw my breath.
I could not tell all the remedies I have
|> used, but nothing did me much good
until I procured Doan's Kidney Pills at
Holmes Pharmacy. Before getting thorn
I have even had my hack ironed with a
hot iron, just as hot as I could stand it,
and more plasters, in -fact, tried every- '
thing in hopes of getting relief. Doan's
Kidney Pills are the only remedy that i
has ever given me any lasting benefit. I
It My back has not ached as it formerly i
did, and is stronger to-day than it has
been for twenty-five years. I give all
the cro'lit to the use of the pills."

nnee originated. Can you tell me?" "1
can," the agent answered. "It originated
In 170G in London. In that year
there was formed the llrst life Insurance
company. I( was called tbe Amicable
Society Tor a Perpetual Assurance
Ofllce. It was a mutual benelit concern.
Kncli member, without refereuce
to age, paid a fixed admission fee and
a fixed annual charge per share on from
one to three shares, and at the end of
the year a portion of the fund accumulated
was divided among the heirs
of those who had died In accordance
with the number of shares each dead
person bad held. Out of this company,
with Its crude and imperfect methods,
life Insurance as it exists today has

almost a truism.
