Doan's Kidney Pills Make Lasting Cures

Mrs. Solomon Sawyer, 42O W. JACKSON St,
Brazil, Ind, says: Il do not think there is a
better kidney remedy on the market than Doan's
Kidney Pills. I suffered from kidney and blad-
der trouble for seven or eight years, and there
was a constant. dull pain across the small of
my back which was almost unbearable. Damp
weather greatly aggravated the complaint. and
there were other annoying kidney disorders that
made mo feel miserable. My health finally be-
came affected and the doctors seemed unable to
help me. Having my attention called to DOan's
Kidney Pills, L procured a supply at +. w.
Schultz's drug store and had taken them only
a short time when I began to improve. Before
long [ was free from the trouble and my kid
neys were restored to a healthy condition."
The above statement was made on Sept. is.
1906, and on Jan. 4, 1909, Mrs. Sawyer said: II
have more faith in Doan's Kidney Pills than
ever. l willingly confirm the statement I gave
in their favor over two years ago, as they de-
serve all the credit that can be given them"

Actual Starvation
The Thomas Drug Company
Gives Facts Regarding
Dyspepsia.

Although indigestion and dyspep-
STA are so prevalent, most people do
not thoroughly understand their
cause and how to obtain relief.
There is no reason why people should
not eat anything they desire-if they
will only chew it carefully and thor
oughly. Many actually starve them
selves through fear of eating every
good-looking food, because it does
not agree with them.
Dieting cannot cure dyspepsia. If
we refuse every article of food that
dfsagrees with us, before long we
have nothing left, and find ourselves
chronic dyspeptics.
We are so confident that we can
furnish relief for indigestion to sup
ply the medicine free of all cost to
every one who uses it according to
directions who is not perfectly sat
isfied with the results. We exact
no promises and put no one under
any obligations whatever. Surely
nothing could be fairer. We are To-
Gated right here where you i've, and
our reputation should be suffice pit as
surance of the genuineness It our
offer.
We want every one who is troubled
with indigestion or dyspepsia in any
form to come to our store and get
a box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets.
Take them home, and give them a
reasonable trial, according to direc-
tons. They are very pleasant to
take; they soothe the irritable stom-
ach, strengthen and invigorate the
digestive organs, promote a healthy
and natural bowel action, almost i'm
mediately relieve nausea and stom-
ach irritation, produce healthy d.
gestion and assimilation, and pro-
mote nutrition.
A 20 cent package of Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets furl Sshes 5 days
treatment. In ordinary cases this is
sufficient to produce complete relief.
In more chronic cases, longer treat
ment, of course, is necessary, and de-
ponds upon the severity of the trou-
bic. For such cases we have two
larger sizes, so cents and s1.00. Re-
member you can obtain Rexall Rem
