A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
How a Veteran Was Saved ths Am.
putation of a Limb.
R Fra.ik norenma, teieran, of
lioosevelt Ave., ludiauapolis, Ind.,
naya: "I had been
showing symptoms of
kidney trouble from
the liuie I was mus-
tered out of the
army, but in all my
life I never suffered
as in 1897. Head-
aches, dizziness and
sleeplessness, h r s t,
and then dropsy. I
was weak and help-
less, having run down from 180 to 125
pounds. 1 was having terrible pain in
the kidneys, and the secretions passed
almost involuntarily. My left leg
swelled until it was IM inches around,
and the doctor tapped it night and
morning until I could no longer stand
It, and then he advised amputation. I
refused, and began using I Man's Kid-
ney Pills. The swelling subsided
gradually, the urine became natural,
and all my pains and aches disap-
peared. I have been well now for nine
years since using Doan's Kidney Pills.

HANDS RAW WITH ECZEMA.
6uffered for Ten Years—Spread to
Body and Limbs—Cured by the
Cuticura Remedies.
"I had eczema on my hands for ten
years. At first it would break out
only in winter. Then It finally came
to stay. I had three good doctors to
do all they could, but none of them did
any good. I then used one box of
Cuticura Ointment and three bottles
of Cuticura Resolvent, and was com-
pletely cured. My hands were raw
all over, inside and out, and the ec-
zema was spreading all over my body
and limbs. Mefore I had used one bot-
tle of Cuticura Resolvent, together
with the Ointment, my sores were
nearly healed over, and by the time
I had used the third bottle, 1 was en-
tirely well. I had a good appetite and
**;is fleshier than I ever was. To any 1
one who has any skin or blood dls |
ease I would hohestly advise them to
get the Cuticura Remedies, and get
well quicker than all the doctors in
the State could cure you. Mv M. F

A Man of 70 After Finding Coffee Hurt |
Him, Stopped Short.
When a man has lived to be 70 vent " !
old with a 40-year-old habit grown to j
him like a knot, on a tree, chances are |
he'll stick to the habit till he dies.
But, occasionally the spirit of youth
and determination remains in some
men to ihe last day of their lives.
When such men do find any habit of
life has been doing them harm, they
surprise the O: IcrltOH by a degree of
will power 1 hiit la supposed to belong
to men under 10 only.
"I had la-en a user of coffee until
three yiar.- ami a period ot Hi years
—and am now 70," writes a N. I>aL

debilitated, and saw plainly that I
must make a change.
