Why Suffer So?

Why suffer from a bad back, from sharp, shooting twingeS, headaches, dizziness and distress ing urinary ills? Globe people recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. Could yon ask for stronger proof of merit?
 J. E. McNeil, prop. Globe Rack cit Store, 254 Broad St., Globe, Ariz., says: 'Isuffered with kid ney trouble for a long time. My back was always aching and when I tried to pick up anything, knife like pains shot through my back. My kidneys acted irregularly and their weakness caused me a great deal of annoyance. My muscles were lame and stiff, especially across my back and 1 felt all run down. Knowing Doan's Kidney Pills were highly recommended, I gave them a trial. Doan's help ed me right from the start and it wasn't long before they had com pletely cured me of the trouble. Deans Kidney Pills cannot be equaled."

He declared that not all church members, nor all preachers would enter the pearly gates ;but only those persons who accepted Christ, and lived &C., cording to His teachings.
 The services yesterday also were we'll attended. apparently the interest and enthusiasm being in the ascen- ancy.

Miss Mckenzie Gains 25 Pounds and Health Is Restored Thought Case Hopeless.

"I have gained all of twenty-five pounds on Tanlac and would be vii ling to walk twenty mic any day 10 tell anyone suffering &s | did what the medicine has don" for me" said Miss Adeline A. Mckenzie residin& at 424 Sixth Avenue. South. Nash vile. Tenn.
 ''I suffered from attacks of nervous prostration for eighteen months, . continued Miss Mckenzie. "My ca se seemed to be peculiar one as the doctors differed in tEeir opinion as to what the cause of my trouble really was. Some said it was due to bad blood circulation and others called it something else. l had no appetite and my stomach after eating. would burn terribly. If l had swal- lowed a coal of fire the burning couldn't have been much more in- tense. I would become right hot all over, my pulse would seem to stop beating and then I would turn cold and stiff, and frequentlv l was unable to sleep at all. l lost at least sixty pounds in weight, and was hardly more than frame and could scarce ly creep around. l took medicine after medicine, but l was getting worse and in this awful condition life was hardly worth living.
 "My brother persuaded me to take Tanlac and by the time l had finished my second bottle my appette began to improve and my troubles began to leave That dead, numb feeling dis 1DrJ and strength. The b@rning in the stomach and throat, and chest all left me and I can eat an. thing want. All my nervousness is gone and slept like child every night. l have taken eight bottles Of Tanlac ani whatever my troubles were they have been removed and my health is re- stored I thank God for giving men brains and skill to liopare such g fine medicine for the benefit of sui fering humanity.'

HAS SHERRILL FOUND
 THE SAME?
The Answer Is Found in the Straight forward Statement of Sherrill
 Resident.

The Answer Is Found in the Straight.
 forward Statement of a SherriH
 Resident.
 We have been reading week after week in the local press of Pine Bluff citizens who have been rid of dis tressing kidney and bladder troubles by Doan's Kidney Pills, and we have often wondered whether the same high opinion of this medicine is Q be found in our neighboring towns. This frank and earnest statement by a well-known and respected resident of Sherrill will set this doubt at rest.
 J. A. Ayers, Sherrill, Ark, says: II had symptoms of kidney trouble that gave me great annoyance. I tried different medicines, bit Doan's Kid ney Pills were the first one that heiped me. After had used three boxes I was in much better shape and I am only too pleased to give Doan's Kidney Pills my endorsement. I still take this remedy off and on when I feel in need of it and it all ways gives good results"

WOMEN STEADY WORKERS.

It used to be said that women could not be depended upon like men to work steadily, and, consequently, ought not to expect so much pay as men employed at similar work.
 While it would be foolish for any young woman to stay at work when physically unfit, it is believed that most women now continue at their work as constantly as men. Any woman who is unable to do so, should take Lydia E. Pinkham's. Vegetable Compound, the old, reliable medicine for women, and get the aid she needs to enable her to keep at work.-Adv..
