serve. to consider whether changed
conditions do not warrant a reduce
tion. The request for a new hear

dropped sufficiently to justify a de-
crease is the position taken by the
association. The dissenting vot,
against a reconsideration was cast
by Mss Ethel NJ. Smith. represent

maintained there was no evidence
warranting a reduction.

A GOOD FRIEND.

A good friend stands by you when in
need. Brattleboro people tell how Doan's
Kidney Pills have stood the test. Frank
Stockwell, retired, of 115 So. Main St,
endorsed Doan's four years ago and again
confirms the story. Could you ask for
more convincing testimony?
Il have a great deal of faith in the
merits of Doan's Kidney Pills." says
Mr.. Stockwell. II have used them
more or less for many years. Sometimes
1 get spells of kidney trouble, and the
prominent symptom is the too frequent
desire to pass the secretiOns, especially
at night and / have to get up quite a
number of times. The secretions contain
a sand-Iike sediment and are the color
of brick-dust. / am bothered quite a bit
by sharp pain over my kidneys and /
find it almost impossible to bend over
to lace M shoe. I always get q box or
so of Doan's Kidney Pills at the Park
Drug Store and after I use one box my
back and kidneys are strong as ever"
(Statement given November %, 1866
On june Z, 1920, Mr.. Stockwell said
Il use Doan's Kidney Pills occasionally
for my back and kidneys and always find
them an excellent remedy. l am glad to
renew my former statement"
