WITNESS AFTER WITNESS
In BARTON.
Such Evidence Our Readers Cannot
Dispute.

AS we take up the Monitor week
by week, we are struck by the hearty,
unmistakable way in which witness
after witness speaks out as Mrs.
Millar does here. If these people
were strangers living miles away, we
might take little notice of them. But
they are not. They are our neighbors
living among us. Their word is too
easily proven to admit of any doubt.
They speak out in the hope that their
experience may be a guide to others.
Mrs. J. W. Millar, High street,
Barton, says: 81 am pleased to con-

fact known. I still use Doan's Kid
ney Pills occasionally, getting them
at Barron Co.'s Drug store, and I
always find satisfactory results. I
have often recommended this remedy
to my friends and in every instance,
it has proven it has proven bene-
ficial."
