PLAIN QUESTIONS
 TO MENA PEOPLE
Every Mena Reader Will Admit the
 Soundness of the Logic.

Would Mena people recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as they do if the medicine were not reliable? Would they confirm their statements after years have elapsed if their experiences did not show the reme- dy to be deserving of it? State ments like the following must car ry conviction to the mind of every reader:
 s. Badt, merchant, COG Seventh St., Mena, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are certainly the best kidney medi- cine 1 ever used and many people to whom 1 have recommended them speak in the highest terms of their curative powers. l suffered from backache for couple of years and finally used Doan's Kidney Pills, They fixed up my kidneys in good shape"
 OVER FIVE YEARS LATER MT. Badt said: We still use Deans Kidney Pills occasionally and al- ways with the same good results. I am never without this medicine in the house."
 Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney pills-the same that Mir Badt has twice publicly recom- mended, Foster -Milhurn Co, Props Buffalo, N. Y. Adv.
