The Following Statement Should
Form Conclusive Proof of
Merit to Every Newport
Reader
Could stronger proof of the
merit of any remedy be desired
than the statements of grateful
endorsers who say their confi
dence has been undiminished by
lapse of time? These are the
kind of statements that are ap
pearing constantly in your local
papers about Doan's Kidney
Pills. They are twice-told and
confirmed with new enthusiasm
Can any reader doubt the fol
lowing? It’s from a Batesville
resident:
Mrs. Susan A. Alexander,
Main St., Batesville, Ark., says:
“I suffered from a dull ache in
the small of my back and had
dizzy spells and blurring of my
sight- I always felt tired and
lanquid and could hardly get up
in the morning. Doan’s Kidney
Pills rid me of the trouble soon
after T began using them. I ad
vise a trial of this remedy in all
cases of kidney complaint. My
former endorsement of Doan’s
Kidney Pills still holds good. I
think just as highly of them to
day as ever.”
For sale by all dealers. Price

MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se^
rious Consequences of Neg
lect.
“I'ix m up something to knock the
malari t, doctor,” remarked a sallow
fared, sickly looking man, entering a
prominent physician’s office the other
day
The doctor stepped to hib medicine
case, took down a < ouple of bottles, mixed
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
‘shake well and follow directions,’ and
resumed his seat.
“Such cases are frequent,” replied the
doctor in answer to a question. “The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain rna! iri t hr -eders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stom i :h, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid {■■• cr, pn -unionia, Bright’s
Disease, small pox an l yellow feverclaim
most of their victims whenever these dis
»ases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
trial irial germ an l the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi
tion by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
health} v and to continue with it at fre
quent intervals duringthe sickly season.
A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or
four times a week will do all of this, be
sides stimulating the digestion, improv
ing the appetite and keeping the bodily
energy at the highest pitch. «.
Prickly Arh Bitters is known every
where as a system tonic and bowel regu
lator. It not only removes all traces of
malarial poison from the system, but
tones up the vital organs, gives new
strcng’h and vigor, makes the body
strong and the brain active.
“Prickly Ash Bitters is the best all-around
medicine for the family I ever used. During the
ya.st ten years I have always kept itin my house,
whenever any of my family show signs of mala
■ ia. kidney trouble, indigestion or constipation
1 few doses is all that is needed to make them
well and hearty again.—W H. McWilliams,
Wckering, I,a.

Young Man Must Have Friend*.-.
For boys and young men friendship
is a prime necessity of existence.
When a man has established himself
in life and the interests of home and
wife and family have absorbed him,
he may, perhaps, dispense with friend
ship. Hut as long as he is young, un
married and. unsettled, he is as de
pendent on friendship as on air or
food.
Had Stood Hard Test.
“I understand that you once sang in
a glee club." “Yes,” replied the great
politician. “And I want to tell you
when a man with a voice like mine
can hold a position in a glee club
it shows that he is some officeholder “

Duties That Enrich.

enrich as dull duties.—C. H. Morrison.
Humility First.
We shall never be the “light of the
world” except on condition of being
the “salt of the earth.” You have to
do the humble, inconspicuous, silent
work of checking corruption by a pure
example before you can aspire to do
the other work of raying out light into
the darkness, and so drawing men to
Christ himself.—Alexander McLaren.
