The totals given do not include th
students enrolled in the junior and
senior medical classes at Oklahoma

ECHOES FROM CHICKASHA
Chickasha Happenings Always In-
terest Our Readers.
After reading of so many people in
our town who have been cured by
Doan's Kidney Pills, the puestion
naturally arises "Is this medicine
equally successful in our neighboring
towns?" The generous statement
of this ( hickasha resident leaves no
room for doubt on this point.
Fred Andrews, 716 S. Fourth St..
Chickasha. Okla. savs: "My back
was weak and my kidneys caused me
annoyance. especially at night
Doan's Kidney Pills did such good
work that I never neglect to recom-
mend them at every opportunity
The cure they gave me has been per-
manent."
Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Andrews had. Foster-Milburn
