Smyrna Citizens Gladly Testify
and Confidently Recon-
mend Doan'S Kidney
pills.

1t is testimony like the following
that has placed Doan's Kidney Pills
so far above competitors. When
people right here at home raise
their voice in praise there is no
room left for doubt. Read the pub
lie statement of a Smyrna citizen:
John Rawley, Main ST., Smyrna,
Del, says: "For at least ten years
l was afflicted with kidney trouble
that had resisted the doctors and
medicine. l suffered intensely from
pains in my back and often became
dizzy. The kidney secretions passed
so frequently as to cause annoyance.
On friends suggestion, l obtained
a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills at
Clifton & Jones' Drug Store and the
results Of their use both surprised
and delighted me. By the time |
had taken the contents of two
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills, not a
symptom of kidney trouble remained.
For sale by all dealers. Price SO

Washington, June 27.--With the re-
turn to Washington of many repnb-
lican leaders who aided in the renomi-
nation OF President Taft the presi-
dent learned for the first time that
there were many minutes mt the Chi
cago convention when his nomination
hung by thread. Colonel Roosevelt,
according TO one leader, had it within
his grasp to stand aside. throw his
strength to compromise candidate
and see both himself and President
Taft eliminated from the contest. Tho
president told callers today that to Mr.,
Roosevelt he owed his nomination in
1908 and to Mr. Roosevelt, more than
TO any other man, he owed his re-
nomination last Saturday night.
Although some of the Taft leaders
profess that there was never any dan
ger Of defectlons In their ranks 9TH
ers are known to have talked openly
of compromise candidate and to have
made advances to some OF the adher-
ents OF Colonel Roosevelt. According
To the reports brought back to Wash :
ington, these offers went to Mr.. Roose-
welt and they were turned down.
