GOOD NEWS.
Many Smyrna Readers Have
Heard it and Profited Thereby.

"GOod news travels FAST" and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in
Smyrna are glad to learn that prompt
relief is within their reach. Many a
lame, weak and. aching back is bad no
more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills.
Many people are telling the good news
of their experience with the Old
Quaker Remedy. Here is an example
worth reading.
Walter W. Needles, living on High
ST., Chestertown Md, says: "My
experience with Doan's Kidney Pills
was satisfactory in every respect 1
can freely endorse them as my kidneys
were greatly strengthened by their use.
1 was troubled with backache for a
long time, and my kidneys were too
frequent in action, thus giving me a
great amount of annoyance. Reading
about DOan's Kidney Pills procured
a box, took them as directed, and they
gave me relief from the first. The
trouble finally vanished and it gives
me pleasure to state that 1 have not
had a return of it since. 1 cannot
help recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills to others suffering from the same
trouble"

The Story of an Arab Boy Who Re-
nounced MohammeGanisn


nounced MohammeGanisnn
According to history. there was horn
about the year 1920 an Arab boy
named Geronimo. He was captured in
infancy by the Spanish garrison at
Uran. and when about eight years old
he escaped from his captOrs and went
back to his family. living as Il Moham-
nedan until the age of TWENTY-FIVE.
He then vOlutarily returned to Oran
and resumed the Christian life which
he had adopted previously when in
the hands of the Spanish authorities.
\ few years later he went on a coast
ing raid with IL party of Spaniards,
but the raiders were themselves can
tured by Il Moorish corsair and
brought to Algiers. Here the attempt
was made to convert him to Moham-
mechanism. but he persistently refused
to embrace that faith, so that he was
tried and condemned to die. His hands
were tied behind his back, and he was
cast alive, face downward, into a block
of concrete then being prepared for
the Fort des Vingt Quatre Heures,
IHSH Oulu-iS. OdIelul uOte WAS taken
of the spot by HaidO, Spanish Bene-
dictine missionary to Algiers. who
prayed the time might come when the
Lord would pave the way for his ex-
humatiOn and Christian burial. In
1858 the French found it necessary to
destroy the fort. and the data left by
HaidO were found to be correct. for the
designated block of concrete on being
cut open disclosed the bones of GerOn-
imO and the cavity left by his body.
The bones were removed Dec %. 1853.
