SOME POTENT FACTS
That tho Augusta Reader Will Do Well Ia
Carefully Ponder Over.

1t was kept secret for years in q
good old Quaker family. The neigh
bors all knew about 1t, and many
time had reason to be thankful for Its
existence. Its fame spread. and stran-
gers who heard about it wrote for in
formation concerning it; sometimes
tried it virtues and sometimes put
trial off for a more convenient season.
To tell how it was dragged from an OBJ
scure country village and placed before
the general public would be interesting
reading. but lack of space compells US
to withhold the particulars. 1t Is suffi-
Gent to know that year ago 1t came
to Lewiston, Maine. like it had gone to
every city and town in the north; un-,
pretentious and unassuming, 1t said:
II can do certain things, investigate
my claims, try me il you have back
ache or kidney ache, and you will not
be disappointed" One of The many
citizens in Lewiston who has helped to
push the good work along is Mr.. John
Watson, general blacksmith. on the
Sabattus road. Mr.. Watson says:
For the past eight years had trouble
with my back. 1 have been wrenched
90 many times across the Joins that ]
presume that may have been the cause
Of 1t. When suffering at intervals from
attacks. was lame during the day and
in severe pain at night. After hard
days work 1t was something horrible
to endure. Soon after would lie down
l was compelled to shift my position,
looking for comfort. and. as this con-
tinued through the night, arose often
in the morning to begin another days
work more tired than when 1 went to
bed. 1 read accounts about Doan's
Kidney Pills curing backs like mine,
and l went to a drug store and got q
box. Well. kept taking them until
the pain left. Since 1 stopped I have
done lots of heavy work, but my back
has stood the strain. give Doan's
Kidney Pills all the credit for 1t. and
advise others who have anything wrong
with their backs to try them" Just
such emphatic endorsement can be had
right here in Augusta. Drop into Chas.
K. Partridge's drug store and ask him
what his customers report.

the trustee of the fund created by DR..
Benjamin Franklin in 1890. now
amounting to about 100000. Franklin
designated that the fund should be
