TRUTHFUL REPORTS.

Hickory Reads Them With
Uncommon Interest.
A Hickory citizen tells his experi
ence in the following statement. No
better evidence tnan this can be had.
The truthful reports of friends and
neighbors is the best proof in the
vrorld. Read and be convinced.
Mrs, A. Wezen, 1443 Ninth Ave.,
Hickory, N. Car., says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills proved beneficial to me
and Ido not hesitate to recommend
them. My-kidneys were out of order,
and I suffered from backache. I
finally used Doan's Kidney Pills pro
cured at Moser & Lutz Drug Store and
they made me strong and well. This
remedy gives quick relief."
The above statement must carry
cenviction to the mind of every read

Whole Family Benefited
By Wonderful Remedy
There are many little things to
annoy us, under present conditions
of life. The hurry, hard work,
noise and strain all tell on us and
tend to provoke nervousness and
irritability.. We are frequently so
worn out # we can neither eat, sleep
nor work with any comfort. We
are out of line with ourselves and
others as well.
A good thing to do under such
circumstances is to take something
like
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills
to relieve the strain on the nerves.
Mrs. J. B. Hartsfield, 33 Corput St.,
Atlanta Ga., writes:
"I have on several occasions been
vastly relieved by the use of your med
icines, eppecially the Anti-Pain Pills,
which I keep constantly on hand for
the use of myself, husband and two
sons. Nothing in the world equals them
as a headache remedy. Often I am
enabled by the use of one or two of
the Pills to continue my housework
when otherwise I would be in bed. My
husband joins me in my praise of the
Anti-Pain Pills and Nervine."
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills
are relied upon relieve pain,
nervousness and irritability in thou
sands of households. Of proven
merit after twenty years' use, you
can have no reason for being longer
without them.
At all Druggists, 25 doses 25 cents.
