FEEL ALL USSEDUP?
Lots of Cumming People Do
Does your back ache con
stntly ?
Do you have sharp twinges
wffien stooping or lifting?
Feel all used up—as if you
could just go no further?
Why not look to your kid
neys?
Why not use Doan’s Kidney
Pills?
Read the statement of this
nearby resident:
Mrs. E. J. Swanson, 502 Doug
las St., Cartersville, Ga., says:
“Just recently I used a box of
Doan’s Kidney Pills and I can
-ay that I got good results from
them. I was feeling run down
and my kidneys acted in such
an irregular way that I felt
they needed attention. The re
lief I received from Doan’s Kid
ney Pills gives me so much faith
in them that I don’t hesitate rec
ommending them.”
Price 50 cents at all dealers.
Don’t simply ask for a kidney
remedy—get Doan’s Kidney
Pills—the same that Mrs. Swan
son had. Foster-Milburr. Cos.,

Pains,
Dizzy
Spells
Mrs.G. P.Cartwright, of
Whitwell, Tenn., writes:
“I suffered with bearing
down pains, i . The
dizzy spells got so bad
that when 1 would start to
walk, I would just pretty
nearly fall. Was very
much run-down. I told
my husband I thought
Cardui would help me. . .
He got me a bottle. . . It
helped me so much that
he got me another bottle.
I got a whole lot belter.
The dizzy spells and the
bearing-down pains . . .
left me entirely.’’
If you are weak and
run-down, or suiter from
womanly pains,
TAKE
The Woman’s Tonic
You can feel safe in giv
ing Cardui a thorough
trial. It is composed of
mild, vegetable, medici
nal ingredients, recog
nized ty standard medi
cal books for many years,
as being of great value in
the troubles from which
only women suffer. The
enthusiastic praise of the
thousands of women who
have been helped by
Cardui in itspast 40 years
of successful use should
assure you of its genuine
merit, and convince you
that it would be worth
your while to try this
medicine for your trou
bles. All druggists sell it.

Her Secret of Health.
A vigorous old lady when asked the
secret of her eighty-three years ot
health replied: "I never allow myself
to fret over things I cannot help. I
take a nap, and sometimes two of
them, every day. I do not carry my
washing, ironing, dressmaking, or bak
ing to bed with me; and I try to oil
1 all the friction out of my busy life by
an implicit belief that there is a brain
and a heart to this great universe,
and that I can trust them both.”
Small Successes Count.
Be satisfied with success in even
the smallest matter and think that
even suoh a result Is no trifle.—Mar
