NATURE TELLS YOU,

As Many Pine Bluff Readers Know
Too Well.
When the kidneys are sick
Nature tells you all about it.
The urine is natures calendar.
Infrequent or too frequent action;
Any urinary trouble tells of kidney
ills.
Doans Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills.
John Harrington, railroad engineer,
for years on the Burlington and Mis-
Rock, Ark, says: II am pleased to
add my testimony to the value of
Doans' Kidney Pills. Judging from the
to ofrequent action of the kidney Sc
cretions and their condition I came
to the conclusion that my kidneys
were at fault, and induced by reading
the advertisements about Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I went to my druggists, got
a box and commenced the treatment.
| am satisfied, not only from the ben
eft l received, but from what l have
heard others say, that Doan's Kidney
Pills are a remedy on which the pub
lie can rely"
Just such emphatic endorsement
can be had right mere in Pine Bluff.

The DrinIe ami the BiIe.

"The free lunch" it is sometimes
said, lis the redeeming feature Of
the saloon" Hear what Mrs.
Chauncey Depew says about it:
"The free lunch is largely respon-
sible for the ensIavement of young
men TO drink. As sure as a man
eats a free lunch, just SO sure will
he be drinking man, unless he is
possessed of rare self.control. A
man takes a drink and bite. The
bite makes him thirsty and the
drink makes him hungry, and many
a man who would leave a saloon
after having imbibed one drink
will stick all day as long as the
free lunch is there. It isn't the
drink that keeps him but the in
genious:make-up of the free lunch,
and that is why L say it's a bIotch
on civilization and should be wiped
out"
