    ALMOST FRANTIC
Had Kidney Trouble From Childhood and
Was Discouraged. Doan's, However,
Brought Health and Strength.
Mrs. C. Anderson, 4104 WW. 22nd
8t., Chleago, Ili, says: “I had kid-
ney trouble from childhood and
three years ago a severe spell de-
veloped. If I stooped, a terrible pain
took me in the small of my back,
and for several min-
utes I couldn't
straighten. Often at
night the pain in
my back was so bad
I had to prop my-
self up with a pil-
low, It seemed as if
my back would
break. Watery sacs
formed under my
eyes and my feet were swol-
len I had to wear slippers. Sud-
den dizzy spells came on and pains
in my head drove me almost fran-
tic.
“I felt tired and weak and had
hardly enough ambition to move.
Nothing seemed to help me and I
was discouraged until 1 commenced
taking Doan’'s Kidney Pills. They
cured me completely and my health
has been of the best ever since.
Doan’'s surely deserves my endorse-
ment.” Sworn to before me,

ONE of the most i6- |
teresting events in
the life of the great
war president oc
curred at a time
when he was litle
known to fame,
This was in 1532,
during the Black
Hawk war, a war
which, in propor.
tion to the number
of lives lost, caused
more widespread
fear and constergation than any other
in the history of our country.
When the story of the battle at Stlll-
man's Run, where a small band of sav-
ages put to flight a whole regiment of
soldiers, and also that of the massacre
at the Davis farm, where fifteen wom-
tn and children where murdered, was
spread through the country there was
scarcely a farmhouse all through the
middle West that was not deserted.
Both of the places mentioned were in
northern Illinois and soon stockade!
forts were thrown up and there the
people flocked for protection from the
vast horde of savages that they be-

Governor Reynolds of Illinois on
April 16, 1832, issued a proclamation |
for volunteers to organize against the
savages, and Lincoln, then twenty-
three years of age and living at New
Salem, Sangamon county, Illinois, was
one of the first to respond. The com-
pany was allowed to choose its own
captain and much to his joy Lincoln
received the largest number of votes,
Of this incident he spoke In later years

One of the most Interesting facts in |
Lincoln's history at this time, and
which shows what queer pranks fate
can play, Is this: Gen. Winfleld Scott, |

in the Illinois volunteers. In the lan-
these lleutenants was “a very fascl-
nating young man of easy manners and |
affable disposition, while the other was

tenants as captain of a company of |
