Renewed Testimony No one in Bellefonte who suffers backache, headaches, or distressing urinary ills can afford to ignore this Bellefonte woman's twice-told story. It is confirmed testimony that no Bellefonte resident can doubt. Mrs. J. C. Johnson, 356 E. Bishop St., says: “I can’t say too much for Doan’s Kidney Pills. They are the best remedy I have ever used for backache and weak kidneys. I was a great sufferer. I could hardly straighten up or get around the house. I had dizzy spells and would nearly fall over. My kidneys acted very irregularly. A member of my family had used Doan’s Kidney Pills and on his advice, I got a box of Doan’s from the Green Pharmacy Co. They did me more good than anything I ever used. The backaches became normal and now I am enjoying good health. Doan’s certainly cured me and I highly recommend them to any ope having backache or kidney trou- e. Mrs. Johnson gave the above state- ment October 21, 1907, and on Octo- ber 18, 1918, she added: “I am very glad to confirm my ment of Doan’s Kidney Pills. No on who was CASTORIA Bears the signature of Chas.H.Fletcher, In use for over thirty years, and The Kind You Have Always Bought. knows better than I ful benefit they have been to me, for they cured me of a serious kidney trouble.” 60c, at all dealers.

The winter had been severe and so many had applied for assistance the county poor fund was exhausted. But the court, with generous impulse, put his hand in his pocket and pulling out several pieces of silver gave them to the woman. An elderly gentleman, standing near, did likewise, for he was a big-hearted, generous man, having great sympathy for the poor.
