AS an indication of the popularity at
tanned very early in her life by Princess
Victoria it is interesting to hear that
great indignation was expressed all over
England when it was known that the
child had not been present at her I'M
cle's coronation in 1881. Some said that
the Duchess of Kent was In fault. 9TH
ers blamed the prime minister, and
some asserted that Queen Adelaide was
responsible for the omission. Letters
and articles were published in all the
newspapers. and the sensation did not
subside until the Duchess of Kent ex-
planned that, owing to weakness of
the ankles from which the little Vioto-
ria was then suffering, it had been
thought wiser not to expose her to the
long standing which attendance at the
ceremony would have necessitated. -

saying. This is what he says:

was that old backache, sometimes better and
sometimes worse. Anyone who has expert
enced such a pain will understand how dis
tressing it is. was continually annoyed by
its presence. L knew the kidneys were at
fault, rs there were other signs of kidney
disorder. That pain across the kidneys had
become very constant. If | accidentally
Jared myself, | would feel it much worse for
time. One day | happened to read about
a remedy for the kidneys called Doan's Kid
noy Pills. | determined to try them, so |
went to Dullam Bros drug store and pro-
cured a box. | had taken only few doses
when etrelief from! the pain. Icontinued
10 Use them, taking altogether three boxes,

speak a good word for them, advising others
to use them"
EVERYWHERE you go it's just the same as
this. No article or medicine has ever caused
such stir in the world from its extraordi-

People call them "The little conquerors OF

little enemies to backache," and many other
such names, and they have good reason to.
