A FAIR F.XCHAXGK
A New Rack for an Old One. How it
('an be Done in Washington.
The back aches at times with, a-j
dull, indescribable feeling, making I
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot across the region of the
kidneys, and again ;the loins are so'
lame to stoop is agony. No uge tol
rub or apply a plaster to the back in
this condition. You cannot reach the'
cause. Exchange the bad back for a
new and stronger one. Washington:
residents wonli? do-well to prrrrtlr tr^r
the foflowing example.

dull ache across my loins kept me in I
almost constant misery and whenever

shooting 'pains darted through my!
body. I at? lonsth procured Doan'*
