adopted lynch law, since to hang IN eff

Benefit.

There have been many cases like
the following in Cresco. Every one
relates the experience of people we
know. These plain, straightforward
statements will do much toward re-
lieving the suffering of thousands.
Such testimony will be read with in
terest by many people.
j. H. Andrus, stage driver between
Cresco and Riceville, says: 81 knew
for seven or eight years, from pains
across the loins and through the kid
neys, particularly noticeable in the
morning for an hour or two after l
got up, always evident when l stopped
or lifted anything that for some reason
my kidneys were not working proper
ly. My occupation, getting in and
cut of carriage SO often, riding over
rough roads, aggravates kidney COM
plant and backache, if not the pri-
mary cause, and when a man suffer-
ing from this ailment contracts cold,
which always settles in his loins, he
may be certain that increased twinges
and aching will follow. While suffer-
ing severely and in quest of something
to check the cause l happened to read
about Doan's Kidney Pills and was in
duced to go to the Shuttleworth Drug
Company's store for box. Its use as
directed stopped the last attack. and
in more ways than one improved my
health"
