I had dizzy spells and headaches and there were many other symptoms of kidney trouble. When I read that Doan's Kidney Pill* were a good remedy Tor such complaints, I procured a bax at Fendig’s Drug Store and they brought prompt relief. I am seldom without a supply of Doan’s Kidney Pill* in the house and I find that a few doses now and then keep my kidneys in good working order.

quickly, Kirk going over. Touchdowns from this time on came thick and fast and the first half ended with the score 45 to 0.

Crown Point, Ind., Nov. 15.—-The candidacy of Congressman John R. Peterson, of Crown Point, for the democratic nomination for - governor in 1916 may be set in opposition to that of Mayor Donn Roberts, of Terre Haute.
