Mrs A. Lind, Chestnut Street, Brat

Doan's Kidney Pills gives me reason to
say that they are a most reliable kidney
remedy. For five years / suffered from
a dull, heavy pain across my back so Sc
we're at times that / could hardly get
around. II l attempted to arise quickly
from a stopped position, sharp twinge
darted across my kidneys and extended
into my shoulders. / had headaches and
my trouble worse. When l saw Doan's
Kidney Pills advertised, procured a box
at f. II. Holden's Drug Store and l
noticed an improvement soon after
began using them BY the time / had
finished the contents, my back was
strong and the pain disappeared
The cure has since proven to be a per-
manent one. l have often taken pleas

have used them with just as good re-
suits as l."

With an interest which comes from
vivid recollection, Mr. Whtcomb relates
experiences in three bear hunts on

search of a big female bear and two
cubs which had been doing damage. The

one cub, but the mother and the other
baby were not found. While the second
hunt was in progress some Brattleboro

was a big one, and started to make off
with it, but the other hunters did NOT
