A LASTING EFFECT. — This Evidence Should Prove Every Claim Made for Doan's Kidney Pills in Decatur. 1 Relief from the pains and aches of a bad back is always welcome to every bachache sufferer; but to cure a lame weak or aching back is what's wanted. Cure it so it will stay cured. It can be done. Here's the strongest evidence to prove it: Mrs. Wm Pennington, of north Eleventh street, Decatur,-Ind., says: “I can only state that the cure which Doan's Kidney Pills effected in my case in 1902 has remained permanent. * I gave a statement for publication at the time and now I am glad to allow you to continue to publish it. I had been suffering with symptoms of kidney complaint for over two years. There was a terrible feeling in my back which was more severe when I caught cold. My attention was called to Doan's Kidney Pills and I procured a box at the Holthouse Drug Co.’s store. All symptoms of kidney trouble soon left me and have not returned to this day. I never knew of a medicine which has as much merit as Doan's Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

A Square Deal Is assured you when you buy Dr. Pieree'l family medicines —for all the ingredients entering into them are printed on the bottle-wrappers and their formulas are attested under oath as being complete and correct. You know just what you are paying for and that the ingredients are gathered from Nature’s laboratory, being selected from the most valuable native medicinal roots found growing in our American fores£T»a<lj*hiie potent to cure are peh arn^’ tbe most delicate womeiLawlmilaFeil?* Not a drop ■— A miirh better azent is usee both Tor exiTactlnz and breservinz. ine medicinal pr tt-:;p;es u-ed .» them, viz.—pure tr.r ereEned glycerine. This agent possesses I n tri ns: c m ed, c: I properties of its own. being a most valuable antiseptic and antiferment, nutritive and soothing demulcent. Glveerine plays an important part in Dr. Bierce's Golden Medical Discovery in the cure of indigest: >n, dyspepsia and weak stomach, attended by sour risings, heart-burn, foul breath, coated tongue, poor appetite, gnawing feeling in stomach, biliousness and Kindred derangements of the stomach, liver and bowels. Besides curing all the ailments, the" Golden Medical Discovery ’ is a specific for all diseases of the mucous membranes, as catarrh, whether of the nasal passages or of the stomach, bowels or pelvic organ®. Even in its ulcerative stages it will yield to this sovereign remedy" if its use be persevered in. In Chronic Catarrh of the Nasal passages, it is well, while taking the ’Golden Medical Discovery ’ for the necessary constitutional treatment, to cleanse the passages freely two or three times a day with Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course of treatment generally cures the worst cases. In coughs and hoarseness caused by bronchial. throat and lung affections, except consumption in its advanced stages, the "Golden Medical Discovery' is a most efficient remedy. especially in those obstinate, nxng-on coughs caused by irritation and congestion at the bronchial maeons membranes. The 'Dis* covery * is not so good for acute coughs arising from sudden colds, nor must it be expected to cure consumption in its advanced stages —no medicine will do that—but for all the obstinate, chronic coughs, which, if neglected. or badly treated, lead up to consumption. it is the best medicine that can be taken.

THE LOSS IS $3,500 Includes Five Head of Horses,Cows. Hogs,Grain, Hay and Machinery. One of the most disastrous fires which ever occurred in the north part of the county was that of Sunday night when the big, bank bam and contents . owned by Fred Bulmahu, one mile' souh of Bingen, was totally destroyed. The hog bam and machine sheds were also burned and the total loss is estimated at $3,500 with insurance of j about $1,500. The cause of the con-1 flagration is unknown, the blaze ap-, patently starting at about the middle' of the barn. When first seen at 11:30 the flames were bursting through the roof. Before any one arrived or the family was aroused, the horses and other stock were falling and none of the contents could be saved. The loss includes five head of valuable horses, four cows, two calves, sevral hogs. 200 bushels of grain, two car loads of baled hay, fifteen tons of loose hay, several hundred dollars worth of machinery and other contents. The fire was a fierce one while it lasted and was plainly visible in the city. The loss is a very severe one. Mr. Bulmahu being but a young man. The buildings were practically new, having been built but three years ago. o Julius Haugk has secured the service of fifteen colored street men to lay the brick when they arrive on Seventh street. These men whom he has secured are experienced street men and will push the work as rapidly as possible. Mr. Haugk was unable to secure any competent help in this line in Decatur and was forced to go to other fields for the same. o —— KEEPS THEM SAFE. J. Frank Wyatt. Fredonia.
