THE MAJORS EXPERIENCE.
How He Spent the Greater Part Of His Life-A
Time When His Life was in Danger.

He has been superintendent Of large min
ing operations and when the State Reforma-
tory at Elmira, N. Y, was built, he was
superintendent and engineer in charge OF the
construction.
Major Bishop was attached TO the staff of
Brigadier General Chamberlin, of the Ma
tional Guard Of New York, with the rank
of Major from 1857 TO 1865.
He has been located ia Detroit since 1885,
and has large acquaintance among the busi-
ness men and citizens of this city.
Two years ago, for the first time, Major
Bishop was in the hospital. For two months
he had the best of medical attendance but
when he was discharged he was not like the
Major Bishop of old.
When asked regarding his health, he said
"When j had my last spell Of sickness
and came out of the hospital was a sorry

weeks.

MAKES A PUBLIC STATEMENT.

Mr.. Edwin Wooley, Contractor and
CARPENTER of Ann Arbor, adds his voice
to that of the army of Michigan people
who endorse the little conqueror. Our
representative found him at his place of
residence, No. 6lS Fountain st. Mr..
Wooley appreciates "a good thing" as do
most of our readers, and he does not hes
itate to tell his experience for the benefit
of others. Endorsement of this kind
has made Doan's Kidney Pills house
hold word throughout the state. The
good they have done has won them
many title and such worthy names
among the people as the 'little conquer
or of kidney ills" little enemies to back
ache" modern wonder workers" etc.
Mr.. Wooley says: IL was subject for
years to attacks of backache or pains

of dull, heavy, aching nature, but often
