Chamberlain's Tablets
Chamberlain's Tablets are intended
especially for stomach troubles, bilious
nets and constipation, and have met.
with much.success in the treatment of
those diseases. r People who have suffer,-'
ed for years with stomach trouble and;
havebeen fCttable to dbtatii any per ma-'
heat relief have been completely cured
by the use of these tablets. Chamber-
Iain's Tablets are also of great value for
biliousness. Chronic constipation may
be permanently cured by taking Cham
berlain's Tablets and observing the plain
printed directions with each bottle.
Total acceptances of recruits for
thtt Army December 13 numbered
more than 14; 300 the largest num
ber accepted in one day in the his
tory of the country.
Stomach Trouble and Constipation
Those who are afflicted with stomach
trouble and constipation should read the
following:: "I have never found any
thing so good for stomach trouble and
constipation as Chamberlain's Tablets.
I have used them , off and on now for the
oast two years. They not xinly regulate
the action of5 the. bowels but stimulate
the liver and: keep bne'shody in a heal
thy condition, " writes: Mrs. Benjamin
Hooperi Auburn, N. Y.
The number of men now being
served by American Bed. Cross

Chamberlain's Couh Remedy
This is not only one. of the best and
most efficient medicine for coughs, colds
and croup, but is also pleasant and safe
to take, which is important when medi
cine must be given to children. Many
mothers have given it their unqualified
endorsement:
One, benefit of the war is that it

UNCEASING MISERY
Some Marion Kidney Sufferers Get
Little Rest or Comfort.
There is little sleep, little rest, little
peace for many a sufferer from kidney
trouble. Life is one continual round
of pain. You can't rest at night when
there's kidney backache. You suffer
twinges and "stabs" of pain, annoying
bladder disorders, lameness and nerv
ousness. You can't be comfortable at
work with darting pains and blinding
dizzy spells. Neglect these ailments
and serious troubles may follow. Be
gin using Doan's Kidney Pills at the
first sign of disorder. Thousands have
testified to their merit, K
Proof of merit in Marion testimony:
J. 1ST. Norton, "farmer j . Garden St. ,
Marion, says "I had a dull ache across
the small of my back audi it-hurt1 mef; to
stoop or straighten. A friend recom
mended Doan's Kidney .Pills; and I got
some. One box was; all 1 needed to ire-
;mote the pain from my back. When
ever. I have noticed a sign of kidney
coniplaint- eince; anJff-Kidney: Pills
have helped me;
PHce 6Qc, at all dealers. Don't simply
