A GOOD REASON
Norwich People Can Tell You Why
 It Is So.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause of disease. and that is why the cures are always lasting. This remedy strengthens and tones up the kidneys. helping them to drive out of the body the liquid poisons that cause back ache. headache and distressing kidney and urinary complaints. Norwich people testify to permanent cures.
 Mrs. Oscar B1ork, 1sS Mt Pleasant Street. Norwich. Conn, says: "I found splendid results from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills and therefore do not hes itate to recommend them. For some time was greatly troubled with back aches, and when I first arose in the morning the pain was always more severe. Often If I would lie down on the couch my back would become so lame and painful I was scarcely able to arise. My mother told me that my suffering was due to my kidneys be- ing at fault. and learning of Doan's s Kidney Pills. went to N. D. Sevin & Sons drug store and procured a box. They proved to be just what required. and in a short time the pain and lameness disappeared and I felt better and stronger in every way. Doan's Kidney Pills fully carry out all claims made for them"

The surf was ! running high and as the boy neared the shore the slliff was capsized, but the boy mana sed to cling to the overturned boat.
 As there was no boat at hand to- go to the rescue of the boy, necessity be- came the mother of invention and without delay MT. Ecclestone and his men utilized the halyards of the flag pole in front of the cottage upon which they were at work, tied blocks of wood to it at intervals and used it as lifeline, with Harris Taylor in the lead.
