This is dis- couraging, but there is one special kidney medicine that cures perman- ently and there is plenty of proof right here in Butler. Here is the testimony of one who used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago, and now states that the cure was lasting, Mark S. Clay, retired, High St., Butler, Mo., says: ‘When I began | using Doan’s Kidney Pills I was suf- | fering from sciatic rheumatism and | disordered kidneys. I procured this! remedy at Frank Clay’s drug store | and it gave"me prompt relief."” The above statement was given in 1902 and on Nov. 30, 1908, Mr. Clay added: “Ihave never hada return of my old:troubles although I occa- sionally use a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills as a general tonic. My health has been unusually good during the last two years. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, States. Remember the name—Doan's—and take no other.

Last Saturday morning a stranger hired a horse and buggy for the day at the Whitney barn. Saturday and Sunday passed and the horse was not brought back. The matter was re- ferred to Dr. Hall, deputy constable, and Monday evening he located the horse and buggy in Clinton, but the driver was not found. It is said that a strenuous effort will be made to locate the man, and if they succeed in doing so, he will be prosecuted.
