After reading this generous and
encouraging report from Mr. Hill,
those who have the misfortune to
suffer, as he did, will naturally long
to get similar relief. But to get the
same good as Mr. Hill had, you
should get the same remedy. There
are of course, other kidney pills but
there are no other iidney pills the
same as Doan's. That is why
Crockett people demand the genu-
ine.
F. H. Hill, grocer, Main St., Crock-
ett, Texas, says: "I consider Doan's
Kidney Pills a valuable kidney
medicine and I do not hesitate to
recommend them. I have used
them for kidney and bladder trouble
and have had good results. 1 pro-
cured Doan's Kidney Pills from
Sweet's Drug Store and I know that
they act just as represented."
For sale by all dealers. Price 50
cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,
New York, sole agents for the
United States.
Remember the name—Doan's—
and take no other.
A child can't get strong and ro-
bust while intestinal worms eat
away its vitality. To give the child
a chance to grow these parasites
must be destroyed and expelled.
White's Cream Vermifuge is guar-
anteed to remove the worms; it also
puts the vital organs in healthy,
vigorous condition. Price 25c per
bottle. Sold by I. W. Sweet.—Adv.

cash
dividends
Ion goods
i you buy
By HOLLAND.
SOUNDS good, doesn't it?
And the best of It Is it is
true. These cash dividends
are paid on every dollar you
spend, provided you spend
wisely and buy goods that
the maker believes in so
strongly that he advertises
them.
Advertised goods are not
always the cheapest so far as
the amount asked for them
is concerned. But they are
INVARIABLY THE BEST.
And this makes them cheap-
est when all things are con-
sidered.
When you buy for the same
money a better article than
you have been buying you get
a cash dividend on your pur-
chase. When you pay less for
an article of the same quality
you get a cash dividend.
THESE DIVIDENDS ABB
