TWIcE-TOLD TESTIMONY.
Augusta People are Doing All They Can
For Fellow Sufferers.

Augusta testimony has been pub
ished to prove the merit Of Doans
Kidney Pills to others in Augusta who
suffer from bad backs and kidney ills.
Lest any sufferer doubt that the cures
made by Doans Kidney Pills are
thorough and lasting. we produce con-
firmcd embellishments from Au-
gusta people saying that the cures they
told of years ago We're permanent.
Here's an Augusta case:
Frank f. Chase, of 143 Northern
Ave. Augusta, Me, says: in the fall
of 1898 l recommended Doans Kidney
Pills through our Augusta papers after
had procured the remedy at Willis
R. Patridge's drug store and had been
cured of a lame and aching back.
The pains has been so bad at times that
/ was actually compelled to lean up
against something for support. 1t was
not the first time l had been attacked
in this way but it was the first time I
ever used Doan's Kidney Pills. l can
say that l never before used a remedy
that gave me such quick and lasting
relief. During the past six yeais
there have been no occurrences OF my
trouble worth mentioning. and 1 am
glad to re-endorse what l said in my
first statement"

There are quite a number of people
WIG are still waiting for Edison's 5000
automobile that will last Is years. If
Mr. Edison's new storage battery will
accomplish the results he claims for
il, this result is entirely feasible.
When EdiSon's automobile becomes the
fad of the hour marked changes are
almost sure to follow in its wake.
Most everybody can afford to ride then,
and at convenient intervals plants for
the generation of electricity will doubt
less be established at which motorists
can obtain the necessary Juice" with
which to operate their machines at a
reasonable figure. By all means Mr..
Edison trot along the 5000 automobile.

Justice William n. Moody.

President ROosevelts appointment of

universal satisfaction. The comments
of the press are very favorable and the
opinion is everywhere expressed that
the appointment is a strong one and
that Mr.. Moody will prove a most eff
ficient ana valuable member Of the
highest judicial tribunal in the world
The newly appointed judge is, in
every sense of the term, a self-made
man. He was born, and reared upon
a large farm in Massachusetts,, and fire.
quently drove the milk wagon from
there into the city of Salem, and served
the customers on his fathers route
from door to door. Later he attended
the Phillip Academy, and subsequently
was graduated from Harvard Univer-
sity. He studied law for a short time
after his graduation from the Univer-
sity at the Harvard Law school. After
he was admitted to the bar he went to
the city of Haverhill and shared his
office with another young lawyer. The
first year of his practice he earned $500,
which was not enough to pay his rent
and other expenses. The second year
he earned 800 and the third year he
made $1,000 net. and thereafter his in
come grew steadily until he got into
politics and was elected to Congress.
AS a member Of the National House

fellow members and upon the country

ing industry, and marked abilities
