enough TO make anyone happy to find
relief after years Of suffering. Public
statements like the following are but
truthful representations of the daily
work done in Lancaster by Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Henry Nehls, Third Ward, Lancas-
ter, Wis, says; II have used Doan S
Kidney Pills and they have given me
more relief than any other remedy [
have ever tried. 1 suffered for sever
al years from kidney trouble and there
was dull ache in the small OF my
back most of the time, which was
very annoying The kidney secre-
tions were also unnatural. Soon
after l commenced using Doan's Kid
uey Pills, procured at Hatch's Drug
Store, 1 was free from the pain in my
back and my kidneys were restored to
a normal condition. I heartily re-
commend Doan's Kidney Pills. -

Of the kind described by an anonymous
writer in the Boston Transcript. She
herself is employed in public library,
and was busy one day composing a
note, when a woman, who may be
known as Mrs Smith, sailed up to her
desk. Mrs Smith moved amid a rustic
of silks, and her hat doomed on the
horizon like a child's old fashioned
bathtub.
Before beginning she saw DR.. Pierce
in his ofice-the door was open. I
think he saw her, and that he would
have retreated into the wardrobe, but
he was too late.
She bore down on him, with one
hand outstretched, the other clutching

everybody in that part of the building.
"Dr. Pierce? Oh, how do you do?

you've got. Mrs. Brooks gave me the
names of lot of painters, but don't
believe she knows much about them
or where they came from.
First there is Vassery's Lives of
the Painters; then there is this Carlo

painted frescos for the Basilica of
San Raphael, whoever he may be. And
know I've read an article some

would let me take some book about
him. Oh, yes. l remember; he was a
monk who fell In love with some nun

wrote sonnets about her all the rest of
