FAIR EXCHANGE.
A New Back for an Old One-How it
Is Done in Augusta.

The back aches at times with a dull,
indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the region Of the kidneys,
and again the lions are so lame TO
stoop is agony. No use to rub or APP
ply a plaster to the back in this condi-
ton. You cannot reach the cause.
Exchange the bad back for a new and
stronger one. Follow the example of
this Augusta citizen.
Frank E. Chase, of 113 Northern
Ave, Augusta, Me-, says: I'm 1898 I
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
through the Augusta papers after l
had procured the remedy at Willis R.
Partridge's drug store and had been
cured of lame and aching back by Its
use. The pains were so acute at times
that I was compelled to lean up
against something for support. I can
say that never before used a remedy
that gave me such quick relief as
Doan's Kidney Pills. During the past
years there have been no occurrences
of my trouble worth mentioning, and l
am pleased to confirm what I said in
my first statement"

following little story Of his experience
with a couple of bears:
On the afternoon Of April 20, John
Clasby, Mr.. Quigley, the foreman Of
the camp, and myself, started out for
a coon hunt. We had gone about two
miles from camp when the dogs started
what we supposed was cat, SO we
kept as near rs we could. Pretty soon
we heard them baying and fighting.
We hurried to them, and when we got
close We saw they were fighting cub
bear, which they killed pretty soon,

mother begin TO growl, aud it was
only few moments until | was face
to face with very mad bear.
thought the best thing | could do would
be to take hold OF her, 50 l did it, and
she took hold Of me, The first pas
she made at me she took me on th'
jaw, which started the blood to run
ming pretty freely. Quigley soon tool
q hand, aud it was not long until VT
put her out of commission.
We got in home about , O'Clock will
