WORKS WONDERS.
A Wonderful Compound Cures Piles,
Eczema, Skin Itching, Skin Erup-
tious. Cuts and Bruises.

Doan's Ointment is the best skin
treatment, and the cheapest, because
SO little is required to cure. i. cures
piles after years of torture. 1t cures
obstinate cases of eczema. 1t cures all
skin itching. 1t cures skin eruptions
1t heals cuts, bruises, scratches and
abrasions without leaving scar. 1t
cures permanently.
Henry Bowling, plasterer, living on
Dixon street. Humboldt, Tenn, says:
THE merit of Doan's Ointment is be-
yond question. For some time l was
troubled with an itching of the skin,
it being especially noticeable ia my
back, neck and breast. l tried differ
ent remedies, but could get nothing
to give me permanent relief until /
procured Doan's Ointment. The itch
ing caused me suffering both day and
night, but there was was no sore or
Inflammation other than that caused
by rubbing to get relief. and l could
not resist doing this. A few days
treatment cured me and up to date
there has been no return OF the troub-
lie. 1t is pleasure to recommend such
valuable prepaT alton as Doan's

ABOUT COUGHS.
Some Reliable Local Advice.

I'm conducting a large drug bust
ness we naturally meet great many
people at this season of the year who
suffer from coughs, colds and bron-
chial troubles.
GAS these troubles are easily con-
trolled if the right means is taken to
cure them, we want to say to the peo-
Pile of Union City that we guarantee
our cod liver oil preparation, Vinol,
will cure hanging-on colds, stubborn
coughs, bronchial and lung troubles
quicker than any preparation we have
ever sold.
'tThis is because Vinol contains no
oil or grease to clog the system and
upset the stomach, yet it does con-
tain every one Of the fifty odd medici-
nal curative elements actually taken
from fresh Gods livers, with tonic
iron added. Vinol is not a patent
medicine; and you know what you are
taking, so without reservation we
recommend Vlnol to cure coughs,
colds, bronchial troubles, increase the
appetite, build up therun-down, tired
and debilitated, and create strength
and renewed vitality for the aged.
