“The account between Austria and

basis of the program drafted oy the
Russian government without shed
ding more blood. Neither Germauy
nor Austria intend to humiliate Rus

meet them is the duty of the German
government.”

In tins issue of the Miner we wisa
to call attention to the advertisement
ot Doan’s Kidney Pills, the well
known remedy for kidney troubles
and backache. This is a medicine
which tlie editor of the Miner can re
commend to our readers. It has been
mi the market for probably fifty |
\ears and is sold now in every quar-1
ter of the ci/ilized globe. A unique I
feature of the advertising of this pro- j
[iuct is the fact that in every news
paper where it is published the testi
monials are given of local people in
nearby towns. The proprietors state
I hat they have in the last twenty
years published the testimonials of
300,000 different people, so that viih
nut doubt Doar.'s Kidney Pills may be
said to be the best recommended kid
ney medicine in the world.
