The New York World has formally declared itself in favor of Governor John A_ Johnson, of Minnesota, for the Democratic presidential nomination. Many reasons are given why he should be nominated. Chief among these are his eminent fitness for the place, his broad statesmanship and his demonstrated popularity. The World believes that if any Democrat can be elected to the presidency, Johnson is the man above all others.

To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed; to be entirely fre e from annoying, dangerous urinary disorders is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. To tell how this great change can be brought about will prove comforting words to hundreds of Decatur readers. Mrs. M. D. Brown. living at 208 Oak St., Bluffton, Ind., says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills with most satisfactory results. They cured me of backache which I suffered from for over six months. I Used remedy after remedy without help. My back was in a deplorable state, being sore all over, and it pained me constantly. The least exertion almost prostrated me and in the morning I could hardly straighten. I jfelt so weak that I was almost helpless. I obtained Doan’s Kidney Pills at Chas. C. Deam's drug store and they helped me from the very first few doses and in a short time they cured me. I made a statement for publication in 1902 stating these facts and I am glad to confirm now what I said then. Doan's Kidney Pills are a remedy that every kidney sufferer ought to use.” Plenty more proof like this from Decatur people. Call at Holthouse Drug Co., and ask what customers report. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name —Doan’s —and take no other.
