For months South Paris citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, by resi-

Would these procurement people recon-:
mend remedy that had not proven re-

Would they confirm their statements
after years had elapsed il personal ex-
perience had not shown the remedy to
be worthy OF endorsement?
The following statement should carry
conviction to the mind Of every Demo
crat reader.
