A. A. Boyce. a farmer, living three
and a half miles from Trenton, No.,
says: "a severe cold settled in my kid.
neys and developed so quickly that I
was obliged to lay off work on account
Of the aching in my back and sides.
For time I was unable to walk at all,
and every makeshift tried and all the
medicine took had not the slightest
effect. My back continued to grow
weaker until was unfit for anything.
Mrs. Boyce noticed Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised as sure cure for just
such conditions, and one day when in
Trenton sh, brought box home from
Chas. A. Fosters drug store. 1 fol-
lowed the directions carefully when
taking them and must say I was
more than surprised and much more
gratifed to notice the back ache dis
appearing gradually until it finally
stopped"

over the Place de PEtoile, made tour of
the Arc de Triomphe, and, turning
down the Champs Elysee, brought his
airship down at the door Of his house,
No. ia, where he breakfasted.
In the meanwhile bystanders and me-
chanics held down the airship, which
was surrounded by curious crowd for
half an hour. Santos-Dumont reap
peared, smoking a cigarette. In order
to avoid the trees the airship was
towed to the centre Of the Champs
Elysee. where 1t rose and returned to
Longchamp. There was little wind.
The. ship maintained an altitude Of
about 100 feet and answered its helm
perfectly.
"No. 0" is the smallest airship Santos
Dumont has constructed. 1t measures
about $500 cubic feet, has three-horse
power engine and resembles an elongat-
ed egg.
