spection of the stock, called a sales
man and asked the price of bit OF
coloring that appealed to her fancy.
Three fifty" was the reply. You may
send it to my address," she said, and
took her departure.
A few days later she was again in
the store, wearing a look of extreme
dismay. Having located the clerk
from whom she had made the pur-
chase, she inquired if some mistake
had not been made in the price. 81

Mr.. Boies says: Ever since the
Civil War l have had attacks of kid

years. Although l consulted -physi-
clans, some of whom told me 1 was
verging on Bright's disease. and I was
continually using standard remedies,
the excruciating aching just across
the kidneys, which radiated to the
shoulder blades still existed. As might
be expected, when my kidneys were
in disturbed condition there was
distressing and inconvenient difficulty
with the action of the kidney secre-
tions. A box of Deans Kidney Pills,
procured at Lamparter & Co.'S drug
store, brought such decided
change within a week that continued

was particularly aggravated, disap-

Four years later Mr.. Boies says: In
the spring of 1896 I made a public
statement of my experience with
Doan's Kidney Pills. This remedy
cured me of terrible aching in the kid
neys, in the small of my back. in the
muscles of the shoulder blades, and
in the limbs. During the years thSt
have gone by / can conscientiously
say there have been no occurrences OF
my old trouble. My confidence in
