COMFORTING WORDS
Many a Hammond House
hold Will Find
Them So.

To have the pains and aches OF bad
back removed; to be entirely free from
annoying, dangerous urinary dis
orders is enough to make any kidney
sufferer grateful To tell how this
great change can be brought about
will prove comforting words to hun
dreds of Hammond readers.
E. S. Stevens, of 1853 Morton court,
Hammond. Ind, says:
I suffered terribly from pain in the
back and disorder of the kidneys. Ir
the morning I would be so stir and
lame that 1 could hardly crawl out of
bed. and to lace my shoes was almost
an impossibility. I did not rest well
at night for two causes. First, on ac-
count of the frequent action of the
kidneys, second, because of the pain
in my back and loins I was in this
condition when Doan's Kidney Pills
were brought to my attention. and
concluding to try them / procured a
box. The benefit 1 received from the
use Of this box was more than I have
obtained from all the other remedies
put together. All the disagreeable
symptoms were considerably lessened.
and after using the contents of I'VE
boxes, disappeared entirely. 1 am now
in good health, have a strong back and
am able to stoop or life without any
Inconvenience. My kidneys are also in
q healthy condition. the secretions be-
ing normal and regular and free from
sediment. am grateful to Doan's $
Kidney Pills and highly recommend

INSTITUTE COMES TO
ITS FINAL MEETING.
Prizes Are Awarded for Best Exhibits
of Farm Products.

The Farmers Institute came to
successful conclusion this afternoon af-
ter two days session. during which
time the attendance was larger than
has ever been witnessed on similar oc-
casions, due partly to the splendid pro-
gram that has been arranged and the
particular interest that has been
aroused recently by the investigation of
cattle for traces of tuberculosis Pro-
fessor Burrage's lectures proved prac-
teal very interesting and his exper-
ienoe at Purdue university makes him
an authority on the subjects which he
addresses his hearers. The prizes for
the best of various farm products were
awarded yesterday afternoon and the
institute closed its 1909 session after
being greatly benefited by the two
days convention.
