and studious attention TO local military
affairs, gave equally high praise. Apart
from the CASTS specially fnvited were

been connected with the state soldiery

Backache pains come from sick kid

Mr.. oliver S. Emerson, OF ISL sher-

Doan's Kidney Pills did my wife an
immense amount OF good, or late
years she was annoyed with pains
through her back and other evidences
OF weakened and dlsordered kidneys.
The remedies we used did not help her
and backache continued as Severely as
formerly. We procured Doans Kid
