Among the places suggested as POSSIBLE

miles south of Liverpool Point and six
miles from the present mooring Of the

Hard Work Harder
A bad back adds to the
monOtOny and fatigue of
heavy work.

Few men are able to pamper and
humor a bad back. The necessities
OF life compel them to toll every
day, and duties that are hard on
any back are doubly hard on a back
that is bad. Many an hour of suf-
fering is thus caused. It's possible
to cure bad back while you are at
tending to your daily labors. Read
how Washington travelling man
did it:
John oNeal. insurance agent Of 1920 9Th st. NV.
says: II used Doan's Kidney Pills and they helped
me. My back gave considerable trouble for
quite a while, and when ! read about Doan's Kid
ney Pills in our newspapers went down to Stew
ems Pharmacy and got box and used them. They
seemed to do the work from the beginning. Ny
back has been stronger since I used Doans Kidney
Pulls and has not ached like It did before I took
them"
