A New Back for an Old One. How it
Can be Done in Colfax.

The back aches at times with dull,
indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the region of the kidneys,
and again the loins are SO lame that
to stoop is agony. No use to rub or
apply plaster to the back if the kid
neys are weak You cannot reach the
cause. Colfax residents would do well
to profit by the following example:
Mrs. Lizzie Denning, sos w. Divi-
sion ST., Jennings, La, says: "About
seven years ago / suffered severally
from backache and as the result, was
unable to do anything for some time.
After that was subject to similar at
tacks, the weakness coming on sud-
denly. All strength in my loins seem
to leave me and my body often bloated.
This gradually grew worse and at times
the swelling was so great as to close
my eyes. consulted physician and
he said that my kidneys were disorder

medicine. l finally procured Doan's
Kidney Pills and since taking them
have felt better in every way. This

An increasing number of people re-
port regularly of the satisfactory re-
suits from taking Foley Kidney Pills
and commend their healing and cura-
tive qualities. Foley Kidney Pills are
a carefully prepared medicine, guaran-
teed to contain no harmful or habit
forming drugs. They can have only a
beneficial effect when used for kidney
and bladder troubles, for backache,
reumatism, weak back or lumbago. j.

Gov. MarshalPs Tribute to His Mother.
In speaking of the influence of
his mother, Gov. Marshall, the
Democratic vice presidential NOM
inee, is credited with the follow
ing:
II think back through the
years, the lean and fat, the good
and the bad ones, to my earliest
recollection. / see woman with
an eye that flashes swift as an
archangel's wing and a mouth
that breaks with laughter and
hardens at sight of wrong, sing
ing lullabies; a woman who, with
hand grasping the Unseen Hand
walks the brier-bordered paths of
life unashamed, unafraid, I'M
harmed. She is clad in garments
OF beauty Tor me, and age does
not soil them, nor years make
them cheap and tawdry. Her
tongue is without guile, having
never been the messenger of a
lie. 1t is seventeen years since
her soul went home to God. and
her fingers became for me the
fingers of an angel, but | have
not forgotten all she said. She
told me there was a Santa Claus,
and / believe her. He brings me
no longer drums and flies. But
he still brings to me the vision of
| my mother and the music of that
angelic chorus which sang at Gre
atoms dawn and at the hour of
mans redemption"

In these days of high cost of living,
a medicine that gets a man up out of
bed and able to work in few days is a
valuable and welcome remedy. John
Heath, Michigan Bar, Cal, had kidney
and bladder trouble, was confined to his
bed, unable to turn without help. II
commenced using Foley Kidney Pills
and can truly say was relieved at
once. His example is worth following.
