The kidneys have a big work to do. ] All the blood in the body is coursing - through the kidneys constantly to be freed of poisonous matter. It is a heavy enough task when the kidneys are well, hut a cold, drill, fever or some thoughtless exposure is likely to [ irritate, inflame and congest the kid- , neys and interrupt the purifving work. [ Then the aching frequently begins, and is often accompanied by some iy- | regularity of the urine — too frequent . passages. sediment or retention. . Thousands testify to the wonderful i merit of Doan's Kidney Pills, a reme edy for the kidneys only, that has been , used in kidney troubles 50 years. You will make no mistake in following this advice. Tt comes from a resident of this locality: m ' Samuel Buckalow, Main St., Cape Mav.

Corinth, Miss.: — "I am a city tax i collector and seventy- four years of age. I was in a weak, run-down condition so ] that I became exhausted by every little I exertion. My druggist told me about j Vinol, and I decided to take it. In a week I noticed considerable improvement; I continued its use and now I I have gained twenty pounds in weight, j and feel much stronger. I consider i Vinol a fine tonic to create strength for old people."— J. A. Price, Corinth, Miss. As one grows old their organs act more slowly and less effectually than in youth, circulation is poor, the blood gets thin, the anpetite poor and digestion weak. VinorTour delicious cod liver and iron tonic, is the ideal strengthener and body builder for old follca because it creates a good healthy appetite, strengthens digestion, enriches the blood, improves circulation and in this natural manner , builds up, strengthen* and invigorates feeble, run-down, nerrmoney. ...enV -Jul i Jsarat Mmey, Druggist.
