BY its refusal to enter the combina-
ton the Monmouth Pottery company
has prevented the formation of anoth-
er great trust. At the meeting in
Chicago representatives of 40 stone
ware manufactures were.present and
an effort was made to form a combi-
nation to regulate prices aud ulti-
mately to organize a stoneware trust.
The refusal of the Monmouth Pottery
company to go into it prevented the
deal, as the company has one-ninth of
the capacity of the country, and one
fourth the capacity of the western
factories.

Rock Island Endorsement Is What Counts
With the Rock Island Public.
You can't fool the public all the
time.
They will find you out at last.
Every time a man is fooled
Another skeptic is made.
Many the remedy that makes the
skeptic.
1t fails to keep its promises.
Doan's Kidney Pills bring renewed
faith.
They cure the skeptic.
Plenty of proof of this at home.
Rock Island proof for Rock Island
people.
Our citizens say they cure back
ache.
Cure urinary disorders.
Cure sick kidneys. ..
Experience has taught them this
is so.
Conviction for every sufferer.
In the testimony of friends and
neighbors.
Read this case:
John Mayer, of 213 Eighteenth
street, proprietor of the Architectural
Iron and Brass works, says: about
a year ago my kidneys began to trou-
bic me. They gradually grew worse
until in the spring of 1897 1 was so
bad that was hardly able to move
about. There was such a terrible
pain through nay kidneys that 1 could
hardly sit down or get up without
suffering from sharp, shooting pains
through my back. In the morning
felt so lame and sore that l could
not get up, and was actually rolled
out of bed, and more than once my
wife has assisted me to get up. L
had nv attention called to Doan's
Kidney Pills and got box at Mar
shall x Fishers drag store. The first
few doses seemed to relieve me, as /
continued taking the remedy, the
pains grew less, and after using one
box 1 was nearly free from them. l
got a second box and before / had
finished it the trouble left me, and
have not been bothered with it since.
If my statement will he of any bene-
fit to others you are at liberty to pub
lish it, for 1 am only too glad to rec
ommend a remedy of such sterling
merit as Doan's Kidney Pills"
