SUFFERED THREE YEARS
TIII Ur. Inicrese's Indian Root
Pills cured his Kidney Trouble
There are few diseases that cause More
acute suffering than Kidney Trouble,
and Mr, P. A. Thomas, of Sudbury Out.,
is one of those who know it, He writes:
"For over three years I suffered from
kidnay disease, First I thought I had
spramed my back, for suddenly the pain
would catch the small of my back and it
would be impossible for me to straighten
myself up for several minutes. A dull
ache across the kidneys was always pres-
ent, imy urine was thick and cloudy, and
passing it caused a burning, scalding
pain. Tried medicines, but they failed.
I vas advised to try Dr. Morse's Indian
Root Pills, as they had cured my wife
years before. A few boxes- affected a
complete cure. I now enjoy the bles-
sings of good health, which is due to this
remedy."
Don't neglect kidney trouble—it's too
dangerous as well as too painful. That
old, reliable family remedy, Dr. Morse's
Indian Root Pills, has cured thousands
and will cure you. It is equally effective
in curing constipation and its attendant
evils,biliousness, indigestion and skit
headaChes, and in purifing the blood.

HOW TO TREAT
SKIN TROUBLES
Greasy Ointments of No Use—The

the Blood.
It is not a good thing for people
With a tendency to have pimples and
blotchy complexion to smear them-

anything worse, because the grease
clogs the pores of the itkin making
the complaint worse. When there is
an irritating rash a soothing boracie

Matter, irecoreing to tele theory, is con-
