You won’t tell yr>v ir family ttoctor

fidence. From her vast correspond
ence with sick women during the
past thirty years she may have

Many rheumatic attacks are due to
uric acid in the blood. But the duty
of the kidneys is to remove all the
uric acid from the blood. Its pres
ence there shows the kidneys are In
active. Don't dally with “uric acid
solvents.’’ You might go on till
doomsday with them, but until you
cure the kidneys you will never get
well. Doan’s Kidney Pills not only
remove uric acid, but cure the kid
neys and then all danger from uric
acid is ended.
B. B. Thornton, of Thomasville, Ga.,
says: “I have been taking Doan’s
Kidney Pills for about three weeks
and find they have done me more
good than anything else I ever tried.
I was afflicted for a long time with
kidney troubles, pain in the small of
my back, dizzy spells, headaches,
rheumatic pains, and felt languid and
tired most of the time. The kidney
secretions were too frequent and I
had to get up five or six times at
night to pass them. Nothing did me
any good until I used Doan’s Kidney
Pills, and the first few doses made
me feel a great deal better. I have
kept on with the treatment,improv
Ing all the time and felt compelled to
write you about It and to give Doan’s
Kidney Pills all the praise I can.”

Liven Your Liter
Do you, like a dentist at his work,
always look "down in the mouth," feel
languid, physically dilapidated and
mentally dull. Then your liver is on
a strike. No other remedy will act
as scientifically on the liver as “Liver-
tone.” It is especially designated as
a substitute for calomel, requires —
restriction of habits or diet, has
unpleasant symptoms, and may -
used with good effect by young and
old alike. Livertone is for sale only
by Dodson’s Pharmacy, and they will
refund your money if you are not
satisfied. ltd & w.

Frank Sheffield, whose card appears
this morning. The duties of this very

than Mr. Sheffield. Good roads, more
than any other subject, is his slogan.
He recognizes the need of better roads,
those highways of traffic and com
merce, and as county commissioner
would give the experience of years
of study and research thereto. Mr.
Sheffield Is widely known throughout
the county, and his candidacy for
commissioner will be very strongly
supported.
