1 GERTRUDE EWING.
Miss Gertrude Ewing and her
company will be at the opera
house Wednesday night, pre
senting the Egyptian comedy
drama, “Slaves of the Orient.”
Following is what the Arkansas
Democrat has to say of the pro
duction:
“Slaves of the Orient,” a melo
drama brimming over with
climaxes, was the attraction at
the Capital theater last night.
^Gertrude Ewing and her supe
rior repertoire company made
good. But it should not stop
there. They did more than that.
They won their way into the
hearts of the theater-going pub

of the latch-strings upon the |

as Ensign Carter, filled the role
perfectly. Gertrude Harrington
and Irene Jones did excellent
work in their respective parts.
Lee D. Ellsworth as Sammy
Green of the Bowery, was good.
He held the audience with him
through the play. Five curtain
calls were given at the close of
the third scene.
Specialties introduced by A1
Phillips were good. The Toys,
in a musical sketch, pleased the
audience, and Miss May Hamil

pretty things. She is exceeding
ly clever.

ARE AILING.
; The Urgent Need of Prompt Restora

That Every One Should
Understand,
<*A Stitch in Time Saves Nine.”
Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri
nary organs are more serious than most
people think. The first warning symp
toms should receive prompt medical
treatment to ward off Bright’s Disease
or some other dangerous malady. A\ hen
the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms
become sufficiently pronounced to be
noticeable the condition calls at once
for prompt measures to stay the progress
of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is
the remedy needed. Taken on the ap
pearance of the first symptoms, such as
pain in the back, puffiness under the
eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive
disorders, it will save the victim incal
culable misery and suffering, mental
torture and expense. Used at the begin
ning of the trouble it cures quickly.
Used in the more advanced stages it will
win back health and strength as rapidly
as circumstances will possibly permit.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 8 iu re<l on the front label.

Suffering
Will Not Help Your
Disease, but Will
Weaken Your
Nerves.
Folks who think it is better to bear
pain than sootho it—are wrong.
Old-fashioned doctors used to Ray it
was better, because they had nothing
with which to ease pain but dangerous,
heart-paralyzing drugs.
But now, that a safe remedy has
been found, Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills,
It is wrong to suffer, for nothing can be
gained but weakened nerves.
A safe rule to remember Is: When
in pain, take an Anti-Pain Pill.
This will soothe your quivering nerves.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain
by restoring the natural secretions, in
which they differ from opium and sim
ilar narcotic drugs, which relieve pain
by checking the action of the glands.
They are sure and harmless, and are
the latest medical treatment for the
cure of Headache, Neuralgia, Backache.
Rheumatism, Dizziness. Toothache,
Stomachache, Menstrual (Monthly)
Paine. Also nerve Irritations like Sea*
Sickness, Car-Sickness. Bleepleesaemt
Indigestion, etc.
