BACKING UP PROOF
The Kind That Punta Gorda PEG
pie Cannot Deny

Many an earnest Punta Gorda
man or woman has publicly en-
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills.
Week after week, month after
month you've read their state
ments.
Would these Punta Gorda peo-
/ pie recommend any medicine if it
were not good?
Would they confirm and repeat
their statements after years had
passed?
Local proof is good evidence.
Testimony confirmed years af-
ter is better evidence.
The following, Punta Gorda
statement leaves no room for
doubt.
1t must convince every kidney
sufferer who reads it.
If your back aches-if your
kidneys are weak, profit by Mr..
Lewis experience;
j. C. Lewis, fish dealer, Olym-
pia Ave, Punta Gorda, says: "My
kidneys were weak and caused me
lot of annoyance. | had lame
ness and soreness across the small
of my back. Doan's Kidney Pills
acted quickly in regulating the
action Of my kidneys and reliev-
ing the lameness in my back. "
Statement given March 4, 1911
Over three years later Mr..
Lewis said 81 can t praise Doan s
Kidney Pills too highly, They
gave me such great benefit that
wish others to know Of them. "
Price soc, at all dealers. Don t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the
same that Mr.. Lewis has twice
recommended. Foster Milburn Co.

garden, to which Mr.. Kicker gave
especial attention. He also visit

A second object of his visit
was to make investigation relat-
ing to the domestication and cul-
tivation of our wild huckleberries
and blue-berries. The bureau is
making experiments along this
line and is convinced that these
berries can be greatly improved
in size and flavor by a proper sys-
tenn of cultivation, which would
prove a very profitable industry
in South Florida. These berries
will bear shipment better than
even Strawberries. This berry in
vestigation is under the special
direction of Frederick V. Coville,
chief botanist of the bureau.
