CONFIRMED PROOF , Residents of Decatur Cannot Doubt What Has Been Twice Proved. * ■ ■ • ■ In gratitude for complete relief from aches and pains of bad backs—from distressing kidney ills —thousands have publicly recommended Doans’ Kidney Pills. Residents of Decatur, who so testified years ago, now say their cures were permanent. This testimony doubly proves the worth of Doan’s Kidney Pills to Decatur kidney sufferers. E. L. Augenbaugh, painter and paper hanger, living on Studabaker StDecatur, Ind., says: "A great many painters suffer from kidney complaint and It was not strange when, I had it. I had suffered with backache for over five years It began with only a slight aching and continued to grow worse and worse. Th.ep anndyance of the kidneyj secretions set in and I knew something had to be done. My back became so weak I could hardly get about in spite of the remedies I used. I saw Dona’s Kidney Pills recommended by Decatur people and I got a box at the Holthouse Drug Co.’s store. The benefit I received was wonderful. In a short time my health came back to me and thre were no symptoms of the kidney complaint.” (Statement made in 1902.) • Mr Augenbaugh confirmed the above statement in 1906 by saying: “I esteem Doan’s Kidney Pills as highly as I did years ago. There has been no return of the complaint. You are welcome to publish my testimony, if you Wish..” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

CATARRH FROM CHILDHOOD Cured by Hyomei, the Only Medicine for Catarrh that-the Holthouse Drug Co. are Willing to Guarantee. The poularity and growth of Hyomei are unique in the annals of medicine. The demand for the Hyomei outfit and the extra bottles in-Decatur has been something phenomenal, and the Holthouse Drug * Co. say that they never sold any other remedy which gave such universal satisfaction and made so many remarkable cures. The fact that Hyomei cures catarrh in the only’natural and sensible way, that is, through breathing medicated air, not by taking drugs into the stomach, no doubt has helped in the introduction of the treatment. There is certainly no other remedy for catarrhal diseases that is so effectual as Hyomei, and its discovery has realized in part Pasteur’s prophecy, “We shall one day rid the world of all diseases that are caused by germs. ’ ’ The worst and most chronic cases of catarrh readily yield to the use of Hyomei. People who have suffered from childhood have ben> cured by this remedy. J. S. Nugent, treasurer of the American Union ’lnsurance Co., New York City, writes: “Hyomei has completely eftred my daughter of catarrh, from which she had sering for years.” So many remarkable results have attended the use of Hyomei amongst the customers of The Holthouse Drug Co., that they feel justified in using the strongest possible language in speaking of its virtues, and when you read that they sell it under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure, you will see that they fully believe in its curative powers. A complete outfit .costs only one dollar, extra bottles 50 cents. THE LID WENT DOWN HARD Winchester is Now Dry—Judge Macey’s Decision. A message from Winchester to the Metropolitan press said: The lid went on in Winchester this morning with an unexpected thud and Randolph county’s captal is now a dry town, on the surface at least. Judge Macy, in the circuit court this morning, in the case of the state vs. Levy, held that a liquor license dates from the time it is granted by the board of commissioners and not from the stime I the bond is filed and the license issued by the auditor. There were only two drinking place left in Winchester, as they had dwindled down to that number after the anti-saloon of over a year ago. when blanket remonstrances were filed in all of the wet wards and the way paved for the ’present condition of Excessive aridity. One of the saloons expected to run until September and. the other till November, but the present decision has caught them up, as both of the licenses were granted over a year ago, though neither was taken out until later on. The news came suddenly, in the midst of a tropical morning, and the saloon men immediately up the “23” sign, locked the doors and walked out. It was very hot and dry in Winchester today. The people downtown spent most of the afternbon discussing the situation; the grass in the court yard , ; is already turning brown and the leaves on the trees show signs of entering the sere and yellow state; while the old bell in the court house tower clangs outjj the hours mournfully in a dry, metallic tone, as though it were ushering in a new era to the people of the town. It was really pathetic this afternoon to watch the straggling citizen ■ up through the hot sun to the door of the drink shop only to be r; met with bolts and bars and then tott ter away to the babbling hydrant on 1 the comer.

A TRAVELING DOCTOR SUED Wells County Men Going After a Quack Traveler. Bluffton, Ind., June 6.—Two prominent farmers in Rockcreek township, Ed Decker and Daniel Brechrell, have been sued on notes of $250 and $125 respectively, given to Alfred Fermin, a traveling doctor, for medical treatment. The defendants have employed attorneys and will fight the case in court. According to the story told by the note givers, Fermin, whose residence is unknown, guaranteed to cure the families of the men in question if his advice was followed. Then, as a matter of good faith, the doctor took a note, which was not to be paid until some indefinite time in the future. These notes were offered for sale to a local bank, but were rfot taken and suit is started for their collection. The signers of the notes allege fraud and misrepresentation. VINOL’S RELIABILITY Countless Physicians Join With Smith Yager & Falk in Recommending Vinol. Countless physicans and druggists are now prescribing and indorsing Vinol as the most valuable cod liver preparation known to medicine, and it is fast superseding all other forms of cod liver oil. A prominent physician writes: “I am satisfied that Vinol derives its wonderful life-giving and strengthcreating power from the medicinal curative elements found in the cod’s liver. It is the best strength. creator and vitalizer for old people, weak women, children, and the convalescent tlr.it I ever saw.” Another physician writes: “I could cite mfiny cases where health has been restored in a surprisingly short time by Vinol. I should be very sorry to have to do without Vinol ir. my practice. It has no equal for hard colds, throat and bronchial,troubles.” Now, when we tell you that we have never sold in our store a remedy of such remarkable curative and strength creating power as Vinol, for the weak, the sick and the aged, and that if it fails to accomplish what we say it will we will refund your money .without hesitation, no ailing person should hesitate to try Vinol with such an understanding. In cases where cod liver oil, emulsions and other tonics fail, Vinol will heal, strengthen, and cure. Smith, Yager & Falk, druggists. ■ I
