Many bad cases of kidney trouble
result from a cold or chill. Congest-

Doan's Kidney Pills at the first sign
Of kidney trouble. Follow this Mexi-
co residents example:
C. E. Frazier, 1902 E. Liberty street
Mexico, says:-Hsome years ago a
cold settled in my kidneys, causing
me much misery and distress. I got
so miserable that l couldn't bend and
if / attempted 70 get up from a chair
sharp pains stabbed me in the kidneys.

are lying around in the streets now.
We passed by Eve corpses in going
from the p~ostofice a little while ago.
One bullet went though both walls Of
the house. through the closet door
which was shut. Our two houses
and the shed and back house all have
bullet holes. The post Office is simp-
Ily riddled. We had several hundred
dollars in gold and several hundred
in stamps in our house in a tin box.
When we ran for our lives we did
not even take that-left it under our
dining table-took nothing but gun
and ammunition.
! hope the troops will shoot down
every Mexican in the raid. But u
own poor American boysl The hos
pital and other buildings down IN
camp are fun Of dead and wounded.
As we looked back in our fight 1t

it all goodbye, locked the front door
