Everywhere We Hear Good Report
of Doan's Kidney pills.

Madison is no exception. Every
section of the United States resouhds
with praise of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Thirty thousand persons are giving
testimony i'm their home newspapers.
The sincerity of these witnesses. the
fact that they live so near, is the best
proof Of the merit of Doan's. Here's
a Madison case:
James Fitzpatrick. retired farmer,
7O7 Josephine venue n, Madison,
SAYS: For some time | was an.
noyed by my kidneys not acting
right. My back began to pain Sc
verely. | knew my kidneys needed
attention and was looking for a good
kidney medicine when | was told
about Doan's Kidney pills. One box
rid me of the trouble and have had
no return attack. Others OF my fam
lily have also been greatly benefited
by Doan's Kidney Pills.

Yankton, April As soon as
Yankton people heard that Congress

bounds here in Mr.. billions home

sent TO Mr.. Dillon repudiating his ac-
ton, informing him he was not rep

ing broadly that he resign. AT the
same time a telegram was sent to
President Wilson, backing him and
the majority in congress in the pa
triotic stand taken. Yankton Is
more wrought up over the situation
than it has been in many a day, and
Mr.. Dillon has a serious situation al

ways been very pronounced against
any form of preparedness, and his ac-
ton is not a surprise to those who
have discussed the subject with him
1t is understood here that residents
of Aberdeen and other sections OF
Representative Royal G, Johnson's
district also are greatly aroused over
his refusal to stand by the admin
istration.
