An agency has been es- tablished in New York to purchase the spec ial quality of cotton accepted by the Ab- yssinians as standard of the realm. The French. controlling the trade of that part of the world, have been able to introduce American cotton in competition with the English product. but now that the fame of our fabrics has spread through Africa. the Arabs and negroes will have no other.

A W0MAN'S BACK.

The Aches and Pains viii Disappear II
The Advice Of This Brattleboro citizen
is Followed.
a woman's back has many aches and
pains.
Most times It's the kidneys fault
Backache is really kidney ache.
That's why Doan's Kidney Pills cure it.
Many Brattleboro women know this.
Read what one has to say about it:
Mrs. Frank Partridge, wife of Frank
Partridge, retired, residence upper end of
North Main street says: Il have taken
in my life enough medicine for my kid
neys to stock good sized drug store
and naturally interested in preparations
especially guaranteed to be sure cures
for kidney complaint. In reading some
of the advertisements about Doan's Kid
ney Fills in the Brattleboro papers, 1
came to the conclusion that there might
be something in them more than ordi-
nary and l procured a box at Geo. +.
Grccnes drug store. The result obtained
from the treatment justified me in telling
Mr.. Greene that he need not be afraid to
one, and l had good personal reasons on
which to base my belief. 1 have been
in such misery that 1 have often wished
l were dead simply because my kidneys
went wrong and l could not find anything
to right them. The symptoms showed so
great complications it is impossible to give
the particulars in public statement, but
if any lady in Brattleboro has any indica-
ton of excited or inactive kidneys and
really wishes the details of my case
will gladly give them in a personal inter-
view. Any remedy that helped me as
Doans Kidney Pills did deserves to be
