CERTAIN RESULTS
Many a Bradford Citizen Knows
How Sure They Are.

Nothing uncertain about the
work of Doan's Kidney Pills in
Bradford. There is plenty of posi-
tive proof of this in the testimony
of citizens. Such evidence should
convince the most skeptical doubt
er. Read the following statement:
j. C. Strong, Pleasant St., Brad
ford, VT, says: II suffered from
lame back and other symptoms of
kidney complaint for years. I
arose in the morning feeling just
as tired as when I went to bed
and the kidney secretions bother
ed me, being irregular and pain
full in passage. This trouble was
gradually undermining my health
and I was rapidly growing weak
er. Doan's Kidney Pills had been
recommended to me and deciding
to give them trial, procured a
supply. A few weeks after I be-
gan their use I felt better and l
continued taking them until I was
completely cured. I gladly give
this public account of my expert
ence in the hope that it may prove
of benefit to other persons who
are suffering as I have" State
ment given October 2, 1908.
A Willing Confederation.
When Mr. Strong was interview
ed on June 10, 1911, he said: my
previous endorsement of Doan's
Kidney Pills still holds good. They
have always acted just as repre-
sented in my case and cannot be
too grateful to them"

WHITE PIGEON BROUGHT LUCK
Perched on Wheel Box Of the Fishing
Boat and Gave II Fine Maid
en- Trip.

It Is one of the pet beliefs or the
fishing feet folk that when a white
bird flies aboard a ship at sea good
luck is bound to follow. And IL
white bird happens TO fly aboard a
brand new craft II insures the vessel
with all kinds of Joy forever. Out on
Georges, two weeks ago today, little
pigeon futtered down on the deck OF
the good ship Mary, perching on the
wheel box. Result-good luck. Al
though Capt. Whallen's boat struck
mighty hard weather, 1t came through
without a scratch and landed 10000
pounds of mixed ground fish, mostly
bake and cusk, which Is pretty near
ly the record catch for maiden trip.
The pigeon looked as though 1t had
had some pretty hard luck itself before
II fell In with the Mary, however. One
of its wings was badly torn, as though
a gull or hawk had taken a piece out
of II. The men aboard took good care
of the pigeon, giving it plenty of food,
although they made no attempt to con-
fine 1t to any one part OF the vessel
The bird made friends with every one
especially the cook, and refused to eat
except out of the mems hands. AS the
Mary came mp the harbor this morn
ing, the bird was adeck. Abreast OF
Governors Island he suddenly took
wing and flew away. The men said IL
looked to them as though the bird had
recognized his surroundings In the In
ner harbor and had flown for home
