TO KIDNEY SUFFERERS.
An Opportunity Worthy Of
Your Notice.

If you suffer with kidney disease
or any ailment arising from an i'm
proper action of the kidneys or
urinary organs, this offer we make
to the people Of Americas should
interest you. In the advancement
of medical science, the kidneys, the
organs of the greatest Importance
to human health, have not been
neglected, and in placing before
you such a cure as DOan's Kidney
Pills the proprietors recognize how
far so many statements of the MAX
ers of similar preparations have
fallen short of their claims, being
convinced that no remedy for kid
ney complaints i'll existence equals
Doan's Kidney Pills for such all
ments; strengthened in these con-
victions by letters that are daily re-
ceived of the work they are doing
for mankind's benefit, old backs
and young backs are being con-
stantly freed from never ceasing
aches, and many a lame and shat
tered one, stopped and contracted,
is strengthened, invigorated and
infused with new life. With such
a medicine an offer of this kind can
be made without hesitancy, for
while we lose the box we give to
you, we make a friend that assists
us in the sale of many others.

THIS ANNIVERSARY IN HIS.
TORY.

In the presidential election of 1924,
Crawford, Adams, Jackson and Clay
were candidates. No one receiving
q majority in the electoral college,
the election was thrown into the
house of representatives. Clay, who
was fourth in the race, threw his n,
fiuence to Adams, who was elected
Upon inauguration President Adams
appointed Clay secretary of state.
This action emphasized the charge
bargain and corruption" which,
though refuted, chung to the end of
his life. John Randolph was espe-
ciallly severe in his denunciations of
Clay's relations with Adams, using
the famous phrase in connection
Herewith combination of the Puri-
tan and the Black Leg" For over
year Clay fretted at the denuncia-
ton hurled against him and finally
losing patience, challenged Ran
dolph to a duel. They met on the
field of honor April 8, 1925. Clay
was terribly in earnest and Ran
dolph was in the utmost good humor.
Clay shot to kill, but was a poor
marksman. Randolph purposely
missed his antagonist. At the sec
ond shot Clay's bullet struck Ran
dolph's coat, but did not wound him.
II do not try to hit you, Mr.. Clay"
said Randolph, after which they
shook hands and honor was satisfied.
