BACK BAD TO-DAY?

Backache is usually kidney-ache
and makes you dull, nervous and tir-
ed. Use Doan's Kidney Pills for
weak kidneys-the remedy recon-
mended by your friends and neigh
bors.
A. C. Alexander, prop. of grocery
TIP Spring St., Americas, gave the
following statement March 1S, 1910:
"My back caused me much suffering
and l was hardly able to work. l
had great deal Of trouble with
rheumatic pains. My kidneys didn't
act properly, and caused me to get up
several times during the night. I
had heard Doan's Kidney Pills so
highly spoken Of I decided to try
them. They quickly relieved me of
the trouble and I was soon rid Of all
the complaints. I heartily recon-
mend Doan's."
April "a, 1918, Mr.. Alexander said:
"It has been many years since Doan's
Kidney Pills cured me. I take Doan's
occasionally as a preventive, and
they keep me in fine condition. I
have recommended Doan's to great
many people, and they have always
gotten fine results"

DOeSH T It Settle the
Light car Question:

Light weight in an automobile has
meant principally moderate price and
perhaps gasoline and tire economy.
There was enough speed and power to
get about but none that gave distinc-
ton on the road. Fimeness and per
Torrance were not expected
But the Essex brought fine car
quality to the light car field. Its ap-
pearance gave it immediate distinc-
ton. It's performance placed it In
the large costly car class. Only ii
sic, cost and economy of gasoline, oil
and tires was 1t compared to cars In
the moderate price field.
Is It any wonder that motorists
have praised the Essex as they haVe9
1t gave them Just what they had
wanted. 1t was the way BY which they
could keep their motoring costs down
and stin have a car that filled their
demands IN performance, appearance
