zen's Advice.

Never neglect your health. If you are
always tired, or have pain in the back,
urinary disorders, dizzy or nervous spells,
it's time to act. These are all symptoms
of dangerous kidney troubles and you
should use remedy which is known to
cure these troubles safely and surely.
Doan's Kidney Pills is that remedy and if
you wish to be cured of kidney trouble
without experimenting, do not fail to use
it. Others have been cured and cured
permanently. Why not follow the advice
of an Ellsworth citizen and be cured
yourself?
Nelson R. Jellison, veteran, living on
Water St., Ellsworth, Me-, says; 'When-
ever hear anybody complain of kidney
trouble or backache | always advise them
to get Doan's Kidney Pills at E. G.
Moore's drug store and use this remedy as
directed. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me
of very stubborn case of kidney COM
plant after all other remedies had failed.
Three months ago | was almost helpless.
There was a constant pain which was very
annoying and in addition to that there
was a retention of the kidney secretions
which caused me severe suffering. / heard
of Doan's Kidney Pills, got box and can
say that they worked wonders in my case.
1t required the use of only three boxes to
cure the baekache and correct all the other
difficulties. l consider this the best kid
ney remedy know of, and it is pleasure
to recommend such valuable prepare

There is no such thing as the Amer
lea accent except in a few words such
as advertisement" wherein America is
superior as TO pronunciation and prac-
tice.
Nor does the American born man
talk through his nose" The real diff
ference that we all notice is differ
ence in the general pitch of voice. The
American voice is pitched in a slightly
higher key than the English. and here
you may find the reason why the
American assimilates French so easily.
Put roughly, the case is this: The
Frenchman talks from his palate. the
American fron the top of his throat,
the EnslislinlHn from his chest and the
German from his diaphragm. - London
