THAT DULL ACHING.
Don’t worry and complain about a
bad back. Get rid of it! For weak
kidneys, lame and achy backs, your
neighbors recommend Doan’s Kidney
Pills. Ask your neighbor. Read this
statement:
Mrs. E. B. Jones, O’Neill, says: “I
hud been suffering with backache and
there was a dull, heavy ache and stiff
ness in my back. While sitting still
the trouble Iwasn’t so bad but when I
went to get up I could hardly stand
the sharp, knife-like pains. When I
would bend or walk around the misery
was terrible. My kidneys, I knew
were the cause of the suffering. I got
Doan’s Kidney Pills and the first box
relieved me. After using a second box
the trouble was all gone. I have used
Doan’s on two occasions since when I
have felt in need of them and they
have given the same good results.”
(Statement given June 21, 1916.)
On June 14, 1920, Mrs. Jones said:
“I think Doan’s are a wonderful rem
edy. I gladly confirm my former
statement in (which I told what Doan’S
had done for me.”

The Mystery of the

A FUNNY paper recently.
• * •
SLIPPED ME a good laugh.
• • •
WITH A wheeze about.
• • •
A FAMOUS ventriloquist.
* * #
AND WHY he had quit.
• * *
THE VAUDEVILLE stage.
• • •
IT SAID he discovered.
t t •
HE COULD make more jack.

SELLING WOODEN parrots.
* * •
SO WHEN I got home.
• * •
I PASSED the joke.
...
TO OUR cook, who owns.
...
BOTH A speechless parrot.
...
AND A sense of humor.
...
BUT SHE muffed It.
• t •
BECAUSE SHE didn’t know.
...
WHAT A ventriloquist was.
* * •
SO I had to explain it.
* • •
AND ON the way out.
A • •
I BLEW just a whiff.

OF CIGARETTE smoko.

AT HER amusing old.

FOOL OF a parrot.

WHICH NEVER talks.

AND I said, “Poll.

HOW D’YOU like it?”

AND TO this day.

IT'S GOT me guessing.

WHETHER IT was cook.

“THEY SATISFY/*

CHESTERFIELDS speak for
themselves. They let you know
you’re smoking. They “satisfy” and
yet, they’re mud. An impossible com
bination, you say? Sure—everywhere
but in Chesterfields. The blend does
it and the blend can’t be copied!
