Strong Testimony.
This is Ellsworth Testimony and
VIII Stand Investigation.

If you doubt the following and wish to
Investigate, you haven't to go to some
other state in the Union to prove it. It's
not long story published in Ellsworth
newspapers about resident in Kalamazoo.
Mich, or Tampa, Fla. It's about a resi-
dent of Ellsworth and is given in his own
words. No stronger proof can be given.
Mr.. Warren G. Jordan, travelling sales
man for j. I. Crippen, piano, organ and
sewing machine dealer, says: II used
Doan's Kidney Pills on the strength of a
lady's recommendation in Mariavlle, for
a lame and aching back and other symp-
toms which indicated kidney trouble,
with such success that ] was induced to
use a pile ointment by the same name,
Doan's. | used everything else that had
heard of during the three years that was
annoyed with itching piles, but l could
NOT find remedy hat would permanent
Is cure. Il Is one If the most annoying
complaints a person can have; no rest or
relief from it day or night. The prompt
ness with which boan's Ointment re-
Iieyed me Wis astonishing. 1t stopped it
at once, and cured me SO quickly that l
neglected to use it as l should, but it
cured. If it were not d first class remedy

The Pnblisher's Stock In Trade.

Extremely well-put and truthful are
the remarks by the editor OF the Albion
(lnd.) Era: "The publisher of news
paper has one thing to sell and one thing
to rent. He has the newspaper to sell,
and the space in his columns to rent.
Can anyone inform US why he should be
expected to give away either the one or
the other? He can il he so chooses, and
he does as a matter OF fact, furnish Il
great deal OF space rent free. But it does
not follow that he ought to be expected to
do so. 1t ough. to be recognized as con-
tribution, exactly as would be the giving
away of sugar or coffee by a grocer. But,
strange to say, it is not looked upon in
that light at all; and yet everybody
knows that the existence OF newspaper
depends upon the rent of its space and
the sale OF the paper, just the same as a
merchants success depends on selling
his goods instead of giving them away"
