Kidney diseases are very dangerous
They come on silently, gain ground
rapidly, and cause thousands of deaths
that could have been prevented by
proper treatment in the beginning.
Nature gives early warnings of kid-
ney disease—backache, twinges of
pain when vlooplng or lifting, head-
aches and urinary disorders. If these
symptoms are unheeded, there Is
grave danger of dropsy or possible
Height's disease. Doun's Kidney Pills
have earned a reputation for their ef
fcctiveiiess in kidney troubles, and are
known and recommended the world
over. McKinney readers should find
convincing proof In the following
statement, li s from a citizen of tills
locality.
Carl Higgs, Partncrsvllle, Texas,
says: "I had a crick In my back/that
made every movement painful. To
stoop or stand erect, sent sharp
twinges through my loins. I was also
troubled with rheumatic pains that
soum—ed to resist all treatment. I 'I-
nally used a box of Doan's Kidney
Pills and Judging from the results, I
am warranted In recommending this
medicine."

Declaring that from 12,000 to 21,-
IMII) people die every year in Texas
from preventable diseases, Dr. W. 11.
Collins, State Health Officer, has
started a campaign for more hospitals
and hospital beds for the care of the
sick, especially those suffering from
communicable diseases.
lu speaking of Hie need of these ad-
ditional hospitals, Dr. Collins said:
"Although the 1911) session of the
Legislature enacted a county hospital
law, which permits an> county to con-
struct a hospital for the care of its
.sick, lo date but six counties have
taken advantage of this act. When
we consider the number of counties
In the Slate and the number of com-
munities without any hospital it is not
surprising tliul there Is such a large
number of deaths from preventable
diseases lu Texas.
"Our vital statistics are not yet suf-
ficiently accurate to give us complete
flgur■-s us lo the births and deaths In
llie State. An Improvement 111 the
gathering of statistics is noted.
"It Is estimated, however, thai from
12,000 lo 2 1.000 deaths from prevent-
able diseases occur every year iu Tex-
as. Many of these people could be
saved, provided there were enough
suitable hospitals where they could be
given proper euro uml treatment,
which would result In speedy recovery
oml by such hospltul segregation the
number of cases would be reduced
considerably In a very short time.
"II Is Impossible to estimate the
money loss lo the people of the State
for the care and treatment of prevent-
able diseases. Most of these cuscs and
deal lis occurred lu families which
can III afford the burden of sickness
many families are handlcaped by the
one or more members every year.
There Is no doubt but that millions of
dollars could be saved to the people
of the State, which is now paid out be-
cause of sickness, and If but a small
proportion of I his annual loss was de-
voted to the construction and opera-
tion of suitable hospitals for the care
of the sick, it would result In a dis-
tinct financial saving lo the public.
Would liilcrcsi All (iruaiii/atiiias.
"I deem It my duty to call these
fuels to the attention of county and
city officials, lo the members of the
medical societies of the various coun-
ties, lo the members of women's clubs
ami simllur organizations anil to the
Iters of labor unions uml fraternal
societies and lodges and to respectful-
ly urge upon them und other Interest-
ed citizens that they immediately take
up iu each county the effort to secure
a county hospital under the county
hospltul law. There is no belter way
to co-operate with the State Health
Department and with county and city
health otlieers that to Join lu the
movement to secure additional hospi-
tal beds.
"Public health work necessarily cen-
ters around the hospital and as the
law permits the establishment of free
dispensaries and the employment of
visiting nurses for the education and
instruction of the public and for the
care of the sick lu their homes, It Is
possible to set up iu each county com-
plete machinery for the care of the
sick and prevention of disease.
"It Is my hope that the present ad-
ministration of the health department
will be successful in extending the
county hospital movement thorougli-
out the entire slate and I will deem It
a privilege and duty to aid the citizens
of any county In securing a hospital In
their county. I sliull tuke pleasure In
replying to any inquiries concerning
the establishment of such an Institu-
tion."

Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad-
rices from this place, Mr. A. ]. Hughes
writes as follows: "I was down with
itomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
limes, that I thought surely I would die.
I tried different treatments, but they
lid nc; eem to do me any good. ff
I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep,
in4 all my friends, except one, thought I
would die. He advised me to try
Fhedford't Black-Draught, and quit
taking other medicines. I decided to
take his advic?, although I did not havo
any confidence in i'<.
I have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—
haven't had those awful sick headaches
since I began using it.
I am so thankful for what Black-
Draught has done for me."
Thedford's Black-Draught has beeo
found a very valuable medicine for de-
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
