SHAKE IN A BOTTLE.

Now is the time when the doctor gets busy, and the patent medicine manufacturers reap the harvest, un- less great care is taken to dress warmly and keep the feet dry. This is the advice of an old eminent author lty, who says that Rheumatism and Kidney trouble weather is here, and also tells what to do in case of an at- tack. .
 Get from any good prescription pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid EZ- tract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces Compound Sy- rup Sarsaparilla. Mix by shaking in a bottle and take teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime.
 Just try this simple homemade mixture at the first sign of Rheuma- tism, or if your back aches or you feel that the kidneys are not acting just right. This is said to be splendid kidney regulator and almost certain remedy for all forms of Rheumatism, which is caused by uric acid in the blood, which the kidneys fail to filter out Any one can easily prepare this at home and at small cost.
 Druggists in this town and vicinity, when shown the prescription, stated that they can either supply these in- gredients, or, if our readers prefer they will compound the mixture for them.

BARGAIN TIME.

The queerest winter we ever had has produced the best bargains ever offered at Meigs & Co.'s big store.
 Their January Clearance Sale is a
 wonder for values in men's and boys clothing, and the way people have tiocked to the store since the sale opened is good evidence that they ap- 5preciate the tremendous savings the sale makes possible. Fancy Suits and Overcoats have been so reduced in price that any man can buy a new suit or overcoat. And tEe way rrices on boys clothes have been reduced makes it very. easy to outfit boys for little money. Bargains continue to pour out of Meigs & Co.'S. store daily, and the man who intends to take ad- vantage of the sale had better get busy. Values are as great or greater now as when the sale opened, but as- sortments decrease daily, and i'm mediate purchase is the best way to get what you want. In the women's section, the best bargains of the sea- son hold sway. Women have gone wild over the tremendous reductions in tailored suits, coats, dresses, cos tunes, petticoats, waists. furs and fur coats, and the patronage in this sec tion has been unusually heavy. But splendid bargains remain to be snapped up by discriminating shoppers.

HANDICAPPED.
This is the Case With Many New.
 town People.

Too many Newtown citizens are handicapped with a bad back. The un- ceasing pain causes constant misery, making work a burden and stopping or lifting an impOssibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest and in the morning is stiff and lame. Plasters and liniments may give relief but cannot reach the cause. To eliminate the pains and aches you must cure the kidneys.
 Doaf's Kidney Pills cure sick kid neys and cure them permanently. ;. James V. King, living on Railroad St, New Milford. Conn, says: Prior to using Doan's Kidney Pills I was of ten subject to attacks of kidney trouble. The scalding sensation &C., companying the passages of the kid ney secretions was almost unbearable. My back pained me intensely and I often had difficulty in arising from a chair on this account. Doan's Kidney Pills were procured and the results of their use were most satisfactory. I have recommended this remedy to my neighbors during the past ten years and think it the best preparation on earth for kidney trouble"
