Mr.. A. E. Wing resides at Gle N. Jack

in the Michigan State Prison. a man of ster-
ling integrity, and whose word is beyond
dispute. He tells the following story of a
wonderful escape, and the incidents con
nected with the dangerous position in
which he was placed. He says, some
months ago my attention was attracted by
a swelling of my groins, which began to
increase in size to such an extent that l
was alarmed. 1t spread down my legs to
my feet, and was bloated from my waist
down, so badly that could not pull my
pants, over my legs, and had to open my
shoes fully two inches before l could get
them on. Even my face became pulled
up; and my whole system seemed affected.
l could hardly drag myself upstairs to
unlock my men. l consulted physician,
one of the best in the city. He said the
swelling was caused by an irritation of the
kidneys, and l commenced treatment with
him. But seemed to be getting worse. l
was strongly urged by q friend to try
Doan's Kidney Pills, and l finally con-
sented. After the first week commenced
to see change, and felt much better.
This was encouraging, and l continued

OF the prominent English journals are
