W F McCants, E N McCants, Itp Mrs John M Brown Statement mat nay ?e mvesugaiea. Testimony ot Kingstree Citizen. When a Kingstree citizen comes to the front, telling his friends and neighbors of his experience, you can rely on his sincerity. The statements of people residing in far away places do not command your confidence. Home endorsement is the kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such testimony is convincing. Investigation proves it true. Below is a statement of a Kingstree resident.No stronger proof of merit can be had. S A Nettles, ex-hotel prop, Mill St, Kingstree, says: "Several years ago I hurt my back, lifting a heavy piece of iron pipe. After that my kidneys acted irregularly, and my back pained me severely. I was so sore and lame I could hardly stoop. The kidney secretions passed too freely at times, and again scanty. The least cold I got, settled on my kidneys and made me worse. When a friend recommended Doan's Kidney Pills I used them as directed and they relieved all my symptoms of kidney trouble." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mr Nettles had. Foster-Milburn Co, Props, Buffalo, N Y. In Memorlam. j An old soldier, Mr J A Bradham, Sr, was taken with chills and fever about December 10,1914,which were followed by whooping cough. He bore his sufferings cheerfully and wanted to go home. Saturday morning, January 30, at 2 o'clock, the death angel came and took him from my loving arms up to the Heavenly throne. He was a devoted husband and loving father and grandfather. He was well known all over the State. Mr Bradham was a member of the Baptist church 55 years. He was born October 18, 1835, and was a brave soldier, serving in the Confederate army 3 years and 6 months, when he lost his right arm at Kicnmond, Va, fighting for his country. Since that time his health had never been very good. He leaves a wife, seven children and a host of grandchildren, other relatives and friends to mourn his loss. Everything possible was done for his relief but in vain. His remains were interred in the cemetery at Black river Sunday, 01 Honor Roll Shaw School. j \ Kingstree, February 9: ?
