'sThe White Pine Compound is advertised at much
length in our, umns and we are happy to learn
that the demand for it is increasing beyond all previ-
GUS expectations. 1t is the very best medicine for
coughs and colds we know of, and family that has
once used it will ever be without it. We speak from
our own know edge, it is kill cold and cas-
ant as sure The greatest inventions come by ACCT
deut, and it Is singular that the Viii e inc Com
pound, made for Colds and Coughs, should prove to
be the greatest remedy for kidney difficulties known
But so It is. We cannot doubt it, so many testimo
malls come te us from wei known men. Besides, the
character of Dr. Pc and is such that know he will
not cOuntenance what is wrong. For years Bap-
fist clergyman, studying medicine to find remedies
for hs ailments, with delicate comsumptive look,
standing with one foot upon the grave he made the

from hundreds of others the strongest testimonials
possible. We have know DR.. Poland for years, and
never knew q more conscientious, honest upright
