MASON'S HOME-COMERS


In looking after Kentucky Home-COmes in
in Jur those having the matter in charge will
kindly appreciate all the help and suggestions
that can possibly be given them.
The following thoughtfulness on the part Of
DR.. s. N. Worthington Of Versailles-himself
an ex Mason man,-is especially commendable:
April 18th. 1906.
Secretary HOme-C Coming AssoeiatiOn, Mays
vile, Ky.-My Dear Sir: In extending invi-
tations to our expatriated fellow statesmen to
return and be with US next June, kindly remem-
Der Mr.. James W. Bliss, Broad street. Newark,
n J. Mr.. B. was reared in your county and is
now prominent manufacturer and banker Of
the city above mentioned, and have no doubt
would like to be remembered, as he himself has
bel always glad TO remember Kentuckisns when
they are 10 his part Of the East. Some years
ago, while attending Post Graduate In New
York City, he saw my name In some chance way,
immediately called on me, took me with him to
his home in Newark and showed me every pos
sible courtesy and made me heartily welcome
to his home whenever | could come during my
entire stay In the East This was done merely
because he inferred from my name that |, like
himself, had come from good old Mason connty,
and would not have such man as that over
looked when our wanderora are asked 10 return.
Very truly yours, s.. N. WoRTmscroN.

Maysville Citizens Gladly Testify and
Confidently Recommend DOan's
Kidney Pills.

1t Is testimony like the following that has
placed the old Quaker Remedy" so far above
competitors. When people right here at home
raise their voice in praise there is no room left
for doubt. Read the public statement Of a
Maysville citizen:
Henry Bertram, shoemaker, Of q East Third
street, Maysville, KY, says:
Il believe everybody in Maysville has read 10
the papers the testimony gave in March, 1900,
about DOan's Kidney Pills, for have been asked
again and again by residents Of this town II
that statement were true. For the benefit Of
persons who may now be suffering from forms
Of kidney trouble repeat my testimony. Be-
fore got Doan's Kidney Pills at J. James Wood
& Sons Drugstore had suffered for some time
with bsckache and tired feeling and having
aching in and about the kidneys. Being shoe
maker, thought my trouble was caused by my
work, for every time took cold Il settled IN
my back. but Dosn's Kidney Pills quickly rid me
Of the trouble and never, from that time to
this, have had any cause TO complain Of my
back or kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills perform
exactly what they promise, aud to be honest
with you, will say that in my opinion there Is
no remedy for kidney disorders equal TO DOan's
