Its achievements TO the critical re-
view of the American people and

-Four years ago the Republican party

I'm view OF this Endorsement, II be
comes pertinent and opportune 10 in
quire: What has the Republican party
done in the last four years of govern

history of the party and the country

A GOOD REASON
Alma People Can Tell You Why
II Is So

Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause of
of disease, and that is why the cures are
lasting, This remedy strengthens and
tones up the kidneys. helping them to
drive out of the body the liqnid poisons
that cause backache, headache and dis
tressing kidney and urinary complaints.
Alma people testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. NJ. j. Robinson, living on Grant
street, Alma. Mich, says: Give years
ago Mr.. Robinson told in a public state.
ment the great benefit he derived from
Doan's Kidney Pills Kidney Com
plant had caused him mnch suffering
and he doctored for it without obtaining
relief until he got Doans Kidney Pills
at Rhodes drug store. He had throb-
bling backaches, pains in the region Of
the kidneys and the seoSetions were of
an unnatural color. His kidneys were
weak and whenever he caught cold the
annoyance and pain was aggravated
He had used your remedy for two
weeks when the trouble disappeared.
He can today Just as strongly endorse
the claims made for Doan 5 Kidney Pills
and is glad to do so at. every opportu-
nifty"
