Readers Cannot Deny. What could furnish stronger evi dence of the efficiency of any remedy than the test of time? Thousands ot people testify that Doan's Kidttej Pills cure permanently. Home endorsement should prov undoubtedly the merit of this remedy. Years ago your friends and neighbors testified to the relief they had de rived from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. They now confirm their testi monials. They say time has complet ed the test. J. B. Patridge, Eighth street, Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "I suffered almost constantly from pains across) my loins and kidneys and at times 1 was in a bad way. On several occas ions I was so badly crippled that I could only get about with the aid ot two canes. The first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Gerlng & Co.'s drug store, helped me so greatly that I continued taking tho remedy and it brought me entire re lief. It would be impossible for ma to speak too highly of Doan's Kidney Pills." The above statement was given la June, 1906, and on December 29, 1908, Mr. Patridge snlrt: "I will en dorse Doan's Kidney Tills highly. I willingly renew the statement I gare over two years ago in their favor." For sale by ell dealers. Trice B0 cents. Foster-Mllburn Co., Buffalo. Now York, sole agents for tho United States. .

Older people having a long ex perience in world's affairs can always give you a good advice, especially in cures of sickness. Our own experi ence proved that in stomach and bowel troubles we can always recom mend Trlner's American E'.ixlr of Bit ter Wine. It strengthens the stomach and makes it able to do its regular work. The stomach will then accept enough nourishment and will help in he digestion, which will be completed in the bowels. New blood is the re sult of such a thorough digestion. It quickly fills all veins. Use Trlner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine when you are weak, easily tired, without appetite, when you will have some trouble after eating, nausea, vomit ing spells, when you will be nervous, despondent, when your sleep will be disturbed. This remedy contains only red wine and bitter herbs. Use it at the first symptoms. At drugstores. Jos. Triner, 1333-1339 So. Ashland Ave., Chicago, 111. Return to Their, Home. Jos.
