IF | WERE A FARMER.

If were a farmer I would keep at
hand a few reliable medicines for MI
nor ailments that are so serious as
to require the attention of a physi-
clan, such as chamberlain Collie and
Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel COM
plants.
Chamberlains Cough Remedy for
coughs, colds and Group.
Chamberlain's Liniment for
sprains, bruises and rheumatic pains
Chamberlain's Tablets for stomach
troubles, bliousness and constipation.
This would require an outlay Of
only S110. By having these artic-
les at hand it would often save the
trouble of a trip to town in the bus
lest season or in the night, and would
enable me to treat slight ilments as
soon as they appear, and thereby
avoid the more serious diseases that
so often follow.

One of Interest to Our Readers.

Good news bears repeating, and
when it is confirmed after a long
lapse Of time, even if we hesitated to
believe it at first hearing, we feel Sc
cure in accepting it's truth now. The
following experience of a Lexington
man is confirmed after three and a
half years.
Henry C. Hall, grocer, E. Main St.
gave the following statement June
II, 1914: 'My back ached all the
time and I felt sore and lame. I
could hardly bend over to wait on
customers. Headaches and dizzy
spells bothered me and my sight was
blurred. My kidneys bothered me a
great deal, too, and the secretions
passed, too often. Finally | bought
Doan's Kidney Pills at the Sawyer
Drug Co. and they relieved me al
most at once. I continued using
Dosn's until every symptom of kid
ney trouble left me-"
On February 2, 1918, Mr.. Hall ad-
ded: II think as highly of Doan's
Kidney Pills today as I did when I
recommended them nearly four years
