ECHOES FROM CROOKsTON.
Crookston Happenings Always Inter.
est Our Readers.

After reading Of so many people in
our town who have been cured by
Doan's Kidney Pills, the question
naturally arises: .sIs this medicine
equally successful in our neighboring
towns 2" The generous statement of
this: Crookston resident leaves no
room for doubt on this point.
P, w. Horton, retired farmer, us
Hunter St., Crookston, Mimi, says:
"Thirty-fve years ago while I was on
a farm in Ontario, Canada, began
to have trouble with my back and
kidneys. I slipped and fell while
carrying sack Of grain and this
started the complaint. I was laid up
for month and after that, had sharp
pains in my kidneys, with steady
ache through my loins. My back was
so lame that I had to get on my knees
to pick up anything. was obliged
to get up six or eight times at night
to pass the kidney secretions and
they scalded. I tried different medi-
cines and plasters, but never found
relief until l took Doan's Kidney
Pills. They put an end to the suffer-
ing and for the past three years, I
haven't needed any kidney medicine"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't SIM
ply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that

was Al well suited to fill the position as
Director Taylor However" he said in
conclusion, "Mr Smith probably knows
n lot more about it than do, and | am
sure he viii act according to his best
Judgment"
g. w. Cliffc. treasurer OF the German

is Mr.. Taylor.
"'rhc matter as yet hasn't come up
