Griffin backache victims can believe
this statement ■ It la made by a man
you all know, <me who would not allow
a falsehood to be published iu connection
with bis name, This i* one ot the 5<M 100
testimonUla about cures of Doan e Kul
nev Pills.
P.O. Bolton, Assistant Superintendent
of lhe Convict Chain gang, residing on
Tinsley street, says: “1 used Doan’s
Kidney Pills and they proved to be all
that is claimed for them. I suffered
from kidney complaint and backache
for a number of years. Kight across
the small of my back was a dull heavy
constant pain, sometimes so severe as
to compel me to lay off from duty und
which kept m« awake half the night.
My back leit at times as though it was
breaking in two an 1 as thougli there
was a be.vy weight laying right across
my loins. I could n< t rise after stoop
ing or sitting for any length of time,
without taking hold of something for
support. The kidney secretions were
out of sorts, dark colored and contained
a sediment. I used any number of dif
ferent remedies but nothing gave mt
much relief until I procured Doan's
Kidney Pills from Brooks’ Drug store
and used them. They relieved me al
most Immediately and since then my
back has become strong, the pain ami
aching disappeared and the action of
the kidneys become natural and normal.
You are welcome to the use of my name
as one who is glad to recommend snch
a reliable remedy to others.”

trees
Have thoughts of budding to the
balmy breeze,
While soon our footsteps will begin to
lag,
Because we’re feeling “just too tired
too drag.’ 1

A SONG OF SPRING.
Spring I Spring!
Ecstscy’s sting I
Birth in the wildwood, and birds on the
wing,
Living cries out to yon
Fragrances shout to you,
Wbat is ail doubt to you,
— When it is Spring?
Birds! Birds!
Flocks of them—herds—herds!
How can we welcome them merely
with words?
Up from the soli to us
Daffodils nod to us
Alessage of God tons
Brought by the birds!
Love! Love!
Cloud ships above!
Trees are s-tremble with messages of
One who will mate with us,
Sharing our fate with us,
Who will be great with us,
Giving us lovel
Spring! Spring!
Wonderful thing!
Waves on the shore of it clamber and
cling,
Blossoms aburst in it,
Rapture is nursed in it,
Earth is immersed in it,
Exquisite Spring.
