BIG CIRCUS
Attracts Much Attention--The
Oldest and One of the Very Best
Shows on the Road.

The Shamokin, Pa, Daily News
OF June IA, 1909, says;
'Jhe street parade was perhaps
the biggest, brightest and best that
ever passed through the streets of
Shamokln. The horses were fat
and slick, some great big ones and
some little tiny ones, and all to he
admired. Their bands furnished
exceptionally fine music and the
gold decorated wagons and daz-
z'lng costumes of the performers.
the big herds Of elephants and
camels all went to make the page
ant delight to every one of the
hundreds of happy spectators
ca large audience attended this
afternoons performance and came
away delighted with the enter
talnmcnt. There is an abundance
of merry making clowns, while
each and every act is worthy of
individual com mendation, some
being of such noyel and extraor-
ulhary character as to deserve
special mention, among which are
the riding seals. These wonder.
full aquatic creatures perform q
series of marvellous acts. They
actually ride on bareback horses,
play ball, jugglc and balance
various objects while riding on the
backs of fleet horses. This NAV
seem incredulous yet nevertheless
may be witnessed at each per
formance.
another act that deserves more
than passing comment is that of
the American Hercules. The
strong man, Warren Lincoln

power of the human frame, both
astonish and amaze the bcholders.
The elephants which dance, waltz
and perform various feats subject

were pronounced to be the best

section. An admirable feature
was the six horse act. The riding
driving, and managing of six
horses by Gordon Orion is most
wonderful display of equestrian
daring. In fact, every act pre-

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Norwich Citizen Shows
How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
viii soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Brights disease. The best remedy
to use is Doans Kidney Pills. It cures
all fills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Norwich people tes-
tisy to permanent cures.
Patrick Sullivan. livi at AS Mt.
Pleasant Street, Norwich. Conn. says:
"If anv. person should ask me what to
use for pain and lamenrss across the
small Of nv back, | would advise the
use of Doans Kidney Pills. I have
found they have no equal for this
trouble. Doans Kidney Pills thor
oughly relieved me of a severe pain in
