CARD OF THANKS.
WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE

If You Have the Statement of this
Mangum Resident Will Inter-
est You.
I take this method in thanking the
voters of Greer county for their votes

your co-operation in helping enforce
the law as it should be done.
Very respectfully,

NOTICE OF SHERIFF'S SALE.
Does your back ache, night and
day; hinder work; destroy your rest?
Does it stab you through and
through when you stoop or lift or
bend? Then your kidneys may be
weak. Often backache is the clue.
Just to give you further proof, the I
kidney action may be wrong. If at- j
tention is not paid more distress will |
soon appear. Headaches, dizzy spells j
and nerves, uric acid and its ills make
the burden worse and worse. Lini-
ments and plasters can't reach the in-
ward cause at all; help the kidneys
—use the pills Mangum folks have
tried and proved. What they say you
can believe.
Read this Mangum man's account;
see him; ask him, if you doubt.
