asking him TO go to Tampa, IL he
only loafs around in the sun and gets
his health back again.
three or four weeks OF loaflng in
that climate, with ocean bathing and
good food and sleep might do him
more good than hanging around at
home. However, it's up to him and

cides to go South because 1 think IL

Though he does not say 80 out

Griffith 90 yects much from ONeill

BACK BAD TODAY?

Backache is usually kidney-ache
and makes you dull, nervous and
tired. Use Doan's Kidney Pills for
weak kidneys-the remedy recon-
imended by your friends and neigh
bors. Ask your neighbor!
: J. B. Floyd, prop. grocery, E. Main
ST., Lexington, says: II was both
cred a great deal with my kidneys a
few years ago. At that time my
back gave me lot of trouble and it
;ached good and hard. My bladder
seemed to be the worst source of COM
iplaint. There was a too frequent de-
; sire to pass the kidney secretions and
:, I had to get up at night. The secre-
..tions were highly colored and con-
ttained sediment. A friend advised
me to use Doan's Kidney Pills, and 1
did so. In a short time I got fine re-
lief. I kept on taking Doan's and
after I had used several boxes, i felt
