DOAiI'S KIDNEY PILLS
Relieve The Kidneys and Bladder
Like Ordinary Medicines
Do The Bowels.
When the kidneys get out of order the
back is sure to become affected, and dull
pains, sharp pains, quick twinges all
point to the fact that the kidneys need
attention.
Plasters and liniments will not cure
the kidneys, for they cannot get to the
seat of the trouble, hut Doan's Kidney
Pills do, and cure the kidneys quickly
and permanently.
Mrs. Lizzie Melanson, Plympton, N.S.,
writes; "I am sending this testimonial
telling you what a wonderful cure Doan's
Sidney.. Pills made for me, For years
I had suffered so with my kidneys I could
hardly do my housework. I used several
kinds of pills, but none of them seemed to
be doing me any good. At last I was
advised to try a box of Doan's Kidney
Pills. When I had taken the first box
I found ,iel'ict.. I have used five boxes,
and to -day I feel like a new woman. I
cannot recommend them too highly."
Doan's Kidney Pills are 50c. per box,
3 boxes for $1.25, at all dealers or mailed
direct on receipt of price by The T.
Milburn Coe Limited, Toronto, Ont.
When_ordering direct specify "Doran.'•

Nloreti'o0d, in Judge,
To the Citizens of the
Town of Clinton
The season has arrived when a general "Clean-up" is
suggested to our minds. To the women, this question of
house-cleaning is ever prominent with us during this month.
To the men, we desire to make the back yards, stables, hen
be
t
place to
them as important elan a
e P
houses, etc., Loom up before t P
clean as their residence.
From the outhouses come many obnoxious odors and
filth even if not dangerous to health themselves, when not
cleaned serve as breeding places for flies, rats and mice, in
themselves not harmful, but from their habitations and stir-,
roundings, carry infections to our food and clothing. .
If all manure is removed from the stable that has ac
cunlulated during the winter,. anti all refuse about the back
yard burned, the tin cans with the remnants of the contents
that affords a breeding place forr flies, he buried.' You will
have removed the most important sources of infection.
The health regulations are very strict as to building
manure tanks with cement bottoms and sides 'at least 15
inches high with fly -proof sides and top well ventilated, where
one or more horses or cows are stabled within the town
limits. 13y not complying with the regulations, a fine of
920.00 may be unposed upon conviction.
Much sickness of a rheumatic nature has been prevalent
this season mainly due to neglect pf cellar drains. I would
advise, as 50011 as the soil permits, to thoroughly clean these
drains especially if there be roots of trees in the vicinty. By
thus taking a little preventative means your children may be
made exempt from this too prevalent a malady.
Owing to the extremely long wet ,season, the septic tanks
not been giving the expected results this year. I would
have
advise an early lifting of the tile, to empty and replace
them. If this is not attended to at once there may result
an epidemic of typhoid fever.
