OF one half mile each. This is regarded
as an excellent feature.

ms record breaking achievement looping
the death trap loop on bicycle, the most
dangerous loop act ever devised II Is a
mechanical continuance in which the
riders only chance of success lies in the

dangerous flight.
Another feature will be the exhibit of

Henry T. Akley of 70 Elliot street,
Brattleboro Vt, says: kidney trouble
In my case was brought on, I think,
by an operation that underwent some
three years ago, At first there was
grinding pain across the loins and this
became so bad that I could hardly stoop.
Severe headaches set in and at times
there would be a blurring before my eyes
so that I could hardly see. A friend
advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills
and I got a box at F. H. Holden's drug
them. They did their work well for the
store. I received so much benefit from
this that I got a second box and kept on
taking them. They did their work well
for the backache soon disappeared and 1
have no more Of the distressing headaches
and no blurring of the eyesight. My
health was benefited in every way. I am
always glad to recommend Doans Kidney
Pills when occasion arises"
