victory for the plaintiff.
Under the ruling of Judge Sanborn,
food products manufactured in other
states and containing benzoate of
soda cannot be barred from sale in

Many a Mother in Grand Rapids Will

Many strong man and many a

to thank mother. The care taken dur
ing their childhood brought them past
the danger point and made them
healthy men and women. Thousands
of children are bothered with incon-
Thence of urine, and inability to re
tain it is ofttimes called a habit. It
is not always the children's fault-in
many cases the difficulty lies with the
kidneys, and can be readily righted
A Grand Rapids mother tells how she
went about it.
Mrs. L. J. Thompson, 512 Johnson
St., Grand Rapids, says: "My young
est boy was afflicted with weak kid
neys from birth and the kidney Sc
cretions seemed to be beyond his con-
troll.
Two or three boxes of Doan's Kid
ney Pills quickly cured him and the
trouble has never returned. It is a
pleasure to recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills to all mothers who have children
afflicted in that way. Doan's Kidney
Pills are a great favorite with Us, as
we have found them very reliable"
