RESULTS THAT RFMAiN



Thousands who suffer from backache
and kidney complaint have tried one
remedy after another, finding only tenn
porary benefit. This Is discouraging,
but there is one special kidney medicine
that cures permanently and there is
plenty of proof right here in Owosso.
Here is the testimony of one who used
Doan's Kidney Pills years ago, and now
states that the cure was lasting
George T. Evon 512 Grover Street.
Owosso, Mich, says: "In view of my
experience with Doans Kidney Pills, /
am in position to recommend the m
highly. Several years ago was EN-.
plOyed as a deliveryman, but finally
had to give up this work, as it greatly
affected my kidneys. There were sharp.
shooting pains in my back, often ex-
tending into my shoulders and I could
not rest well owing to q weakness Of
the kidneys. Hearing Doan's Kidney
Pills highly recommended, began their
use. The use of the first box brought
great relief and the contents of two
boxes cured me"
The above statement was given on
November 3, 1906, and when Mr. Evans
was interviewed on March 16, 1909, he
said: II can still recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills in the highest terms and
I am glad to do so. You are at liberty
to refer to me at any time as one who
has taken this remedy with great bene-
fits"

Use Short Words.

Literary aspirants should religiously
eschew polysyllabic photography. The
philosophical and pathological substitute
ture Of this principle is ineluctable.
Excessively attenuated verbal sym
bols inevitably induce unnecessary
completely and consequently exagger-
ate the obfuscation Of the mentality of
the peruser. Conversely, expressions
which are reduced to the furthermost
minimum of simplifcation and COM
pactness. besides contributing realistic
verisimilitude, constitute a much less
onerous handicap to the readers per-
spicacity.
Observe, for instance, the unmistak-
able and unacceptable expressiveness of
onomatopoetic, interjectional, mono
syllable utterances. especially when
motivated under strenuous emotional
circumstances. How much more APP
pealing Is their euphonious pulchritude
than the preposterous and pretentious
pomposity Of elongated verbiage.--Life.
