WORDS FROM HOME
Statements That May Be Investigated.
Testimony of Americas Citizens

When an Americas citizen comes to
the front, telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind thai
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such tes-
timony is convincing. Investigation
proves it true. Below is a statement
of an Americas resident No stronger
proof of merit can be had
Mrs A. L. Cobb, $50 Forsyth St.
Americas, Ga, says: 81 am still using
and endorsing Doan's Kidney Pills |
have tried other remedies but nothing
has ever helped me as greatly as this
one and feel that | could not get
along without it. You may continue
to publish the statement | gave in
1908, telling of my experience and |
hope that it will prove of benefit to
ether kidney sufferers. This remedy
is the only one | know of that brings
prompt and lasting relief from kidney
camploint".

Whose mien is ever proudest
When We hold the foe at bay,
Whose waT-cry cheers us loudest
AS we rush to the bloody fray?
'Tis Gordon's! Our reliance!
Fearless as on that day
When he hurled his grand defiance,
In that charge of the 18th of May,
boys,
That charge of the 18th of May!
Who can be a coward!
What freemen fear to die
When Gordon orders, Forward
And the red cross floats on high?
Follow his tones inspiring,
On, on to the field! Away!
And We'll see the foe retiring,
AS they did on the 18th of MAY,
boys,
AS they did on the 18th of May.
Refrain.
Then, hurrah! while we rally round
The hero of that day,
And a nations grateful praises crown
The man of the 18th of May, boys,
The man of the 18th of May.
