of respect to the United States, set
the date as July 4.

ico. A swarm of small craft were sta
tioned off shore to effect a quick res
cue.

when I decided to try Doan’s Pills.
In a short time they rid me of all
signs of kidney disorder and streng
thened my back.”
OVER ErGHT YEARS LATER, Mr.
Davis said: “Doan’s have never fail
