On the Most Important Local One stion
 We Have at Present to Discuss.
 Opinions expressed publicly through this newspaper by people in the com moner walks of life who live in some distant State lack the interest which is attached to the opinion held by resi- dents of the Western part of Massschu- setts. The former have always sus- picious halo about them which is abseut in the latter. To put it plainly the reader would. sooner believe the state ment of a man living in East Derby. Conn. than the statement of 8 resident of Toledo, Ohio and when the Derby citizen courts enquiry, the experience which follows eau certainly be depend ed upon Mir Edward R. Hall Is ma chinist, living at S4 New Haven Ave. E. Derby, Conn. Write him if you are in doubt about bis statement and ask him if it is not true. Mir Hall says: II had a lsmeness take me in the small of my back. accompanied by pains in my loins extending over my hips. I could not bend over and touch the floor nor straighten up as sharp twiuRes would catch me in the back My wife read of Dosn's Kidney Pills being a positive remedy for this trouble. AS she was suffering from kidney complsint worse than I, we were both interested in ind ing a remedy She had been treated by physicians without being cured and the statement that they were positive cure led us to obtain them from drug store. Doan's Kidney Pills certainly cured my back both or the lsmeness and also the pain. and restored energy to me. Mrs Hall was also relieved of the pain and soreness of the kidneys and of distress in the top of the head and back. She can rest nights and is generally in- vigorated We both pronounce them the best kidney remedy we have ever used. No doctors medicine ever did us so much good and we have no hesita- ton in recommending strongly Doan's Kidney Pills for backache and weakness of the renal organs"
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers--price 50 cents. Mailed by Foster Milburn Co.,, Buffalo. N. r., sole agents for the United States.
