They are strongly recommended by Decatur people. Ask your neighbor! Mrs. E. A. Mann. 1003 W. Monroe St., Decatur, says: “I know the ' value of Doan's Kidney Pills and am glad to recommend them to anyone having kidney complaint. 1 used them when my kidneys were out of ' order and I had sevefe backaches that made it harder for me to do my work. I often had nervous headaches and my kidneys acted irregularly. I used Dean's Kidney Pills from the Halthouse Drug Co., and they proved to be just what I needed. Doan's were not long in giving j me relief from the backache and kidney complaint.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—-get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same tHat Mrs. Mann had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

Your Responsibility Lives After You A Man’s responsibility for his family’s welfare cannot, with justice, be laid down even at his death. For it is equally as necessary for him to provide for a careful and wise administration of his affairs after his death, as it is to acquire money and property he intends shall be his family’s protection. This can be accomplished by making a will and appointing this company as executor and trustee. By naming this company as executor or trustee you can insure wise management of your estate with a minimum cost. • The Peoples Loan & Trust Co, BANK OF SERVICE |
