I used them for my kidneys and back. The kidney secretions were out of sorts, very dark and full of sediment and I suffered a great deal from backache. Since taking the remedy my backache has left me and my back is much stronger. The secretions have regained their natural color and are free front sediment. These beneficial results have convinced me that Poan's Kidney Pills are one of the best kidney rentedies on the market and I am pleased I to be able to endorse them." I For sale by all dealers.

Copyright, 1905, by Mo fat, Yard & Co., Sew York. WHEN Nature first began to rear up the destructive forces so that man would not increase too rapidly upon llio face of the earth she found that, after nil her planning, man had got the host of her and would multiply more than was good for him. ? Doctors wore then added,and py thought we od that nineteen ^ oVy twenty liajj a chance. There are various different kinds of doctors who prey upon human life, but they arc easily classified. The Family Doctor is perhaps the best known. Ilis ignorance is not specialized. hut extends to all parts of th" human anatomy. He conies usually about four or five hours after he is needed, feels of your pulse, looks at your tongue, probes your diaphragm for appendicitis, writes in a mortified language on a printed slip and goes away with the remark that you will be all'right in a day or so or that you may possibly live three months, as the case may be. If you are young and ignorant. you are either frightened to dd.tth or suffused with a gentle glow o. convalescence, in accordance with what you have been told. Hut it' you are an old stager you roll over in bed. call for a stiff drink of whisky, throw the prescription out of the window and sweat it out. A Family Doctor is nothing but a personified habit. You pay him to conic and tell you there is no danger, and if ho thinks there is you drop 11iin and move up one. You began at the foot of the class, and now you rush off and consult a Specialist. A Specialist is a man who lives in town, either on the first floor of n smart apartment house or in a house of his own. When he lives in an apartment house you pay him $15 to shake bauds with him, but when ho lives in his own home you place a first mortgage 011 all the property in your wife's name. As you enter his otlico you see a china closet full of glittering instruments, which you begin to feel entering your system at various points. Your eye lights theu upon a nickel plated fountain of running water, which you surmise is to wash away all evidence of the crime. You feci at once that you arc in no condition to cope with this array of science. Y'ou are all run down anyway, and a brave man would quakd. Hut, summoning up what little courage is left, you tell him what the other doctors have thought was the matter with you, and he shakes his head dubiously. Thou he raises his hand warnnigly and tells you to desist. 116 doesn't want to know what the other doctors thought. Why should any one with such a fund of ignorance in himself wish to have it encroached upon? You don't make this remark to yourself then, but you do about six months later. You are requested to disrobe. You do so, feeling pale all over and hoping ho may not notice it, and lie pounds gently with a hammer, peeks h: between your ribs, listens at the door of your heart for murmurs and Hashes a dark lantern through your alimentary canal, lly this time you are frightened t(f death. You feel that all hope is lost. You see a long funeral procession winding its slow way along. Yoir are playing the leading part in it. You can feel the lavender satin and that awful stillness, like a reunion of the Metropolitan club. It is all over. After all, what difference does it make? Suddenly you awake from your visiou, and jguv friend the Specialist taps you 011 the shoulder and says that if you will stop smoking, drinking, sitting up late nights, leave your business and come and live iu his olliee for six mouths or a year and give him all you've got there is a faint chance that you may get well. And If you don't? Well, there is that three months' limit. You leave him cordially and tell him you will let him know. Then you go to some dark corner and figure out on the back of an old envelope just how much it. will cost, with the three months staring you iu the face. There is that funeral procession again. Never mind. A short life and a merry one. You resolve to die. * ? * * Six months later, as you meet your friend the Specialist on the avenue un expeetcdiy and bow pleasantly, you feel a secret sense of shame to think tlmt lie has caught you alive.
