It's Impossible
RfoieaI.
To Dispute Facts. 1t is Decidedly
Easy to Verify Ellsworth Opinion.

Nothing by way of Introduction could
be added to the experiences and opinions
given below, which could increase their
value. Ellsworth people can safely be
left to draw their own conclusions based
on such convincing proof as this citizen
offers What is there lacking in evidence
like this to satisfy dyedin-the- wool
doubling Thomas?
Mr.. John Chapman, of Spring St, near
Birch avenue says: Il have been so lame
in the back that it was hard to get around.
AT times it was so painful that | was in
misery, and at night was annoyed with
a urinary weakness which prevented me
from sleeping well. l spent dollar upon
dollar trying to be cured, but | remained
about the same. My wife saw an account
of Doan's Kidney Pills in one of the Ban
gor papers which impressed her SO that
she went to Virgins drug store, got a
box and insisted on me using them. They
did me wonderful amount of good, more
than anything l ever used"
For sale by all dealers; price so cents
box. Mailed on receipt of price by Fos-
ter-Milburn Co., Buffalo, n. y, sole
agents for the L. S.
Remember the name, Doan's, and take
no other.

lighted.
There is some difference between citi-
zens lit this respect. One man was asked
to light for while certain lamp, hut
he declined, saying: "Let them pay some
body II they want their streets lighted"
This is not worthy spirit to show We
have reason to thank God that ali cur
neighbors and citizens are not built on
that line.
The means at the disposal of the Village
improvement society are not large enough
to warrant such expense as hiring the
lighting of these lamps. They will
pay for oil and chimneys and other fur
nishings very gladly. The thanks of the
society and OF the village are due those
who have so generously and itafully
done the work in keeping the light shin
ing upon the muddy winter ways and
plank walks of the village.
