Don’t wait for it to show signs of wear, dirt, or defacement, but. once a week wipe it thoroughly with warm skimmed milk, using a soft flannel cloth, and be. careful to wipe it dry.

If your cloth is old and defaced and not capable of be- ing brightened up, wash it, with warm water and sapolio or sand soap. Dry well. It may be wiped off afterward with a very little ammonia.

Ontario, County of Carleton, to wit: I, Charles Moss, of the City of Ottawa, in the County of Carleton, Blacksmith, do hereby solemnly declare as follows: 1. I reside at 180 Bell Street, in the said City of Ottawa. ° Forthe past fifteen years I have been 3. er from kidney disease; among the of which were severe i ‘ pains in my back, hot flashes extending from the base of the spine up between my shoulders, dizziness, headaches, etc. I was in a bad state generally and suffered great agony at times. The intense pain prevented my sleeping, and I seemed to get worse continually. The doctors 110 were called in pronounced my disease diabetes, but their treatment did no good, and they held out but slight hope of my recovery. I was then so far gone with the disease that I could not turn in bed without help. My urine as of a dark wine color, and full of sediment. 3. I took all kinds of medicine, but without permanent relief. 4. Hearing of Doan’s Kidney Pills I got a box at H. F. Macparthy's drug Store, but having been so _9ften disappomted I had no faith in W them. However, I started taking them and they struck the right spot at once, and I’com- menced to get better. From that time on improvement was continuous until I am now after five weeks use of Dosn’s Kidney Pills: entirely free from pain of any kind. The urine - IN is natural, and I am now workin ‘ every day in my shep. g nght along 933:3; buildii 5.
