J. NJ. vinkIc, n Furniture Dealer, of
OyvOsso, Strikes the Right Thing.

The circumstances surrounding the case
of Mr.. j. M. Vinkle are of deep interest to
our readers, and our representative found
him ut his furniture store, No. 1115 w.
Main Street, where he cheerlully gave the
following account for publication:
az have never" said Mr.. Vinkle, "been
without pain in my back for the last twenty
years. do not know what caused it unless
it was hard, constant work, which may have
overtaxed me. At times | was worse than
at others; for instance, in changeable weather
| would suffer more keenly. If l lifted
anything heavy or did any STOPPING work,
| would go around like one with broken
back. During all this time l have been
continually taking medicine of some kind.
have used all kinds of plasters and taken
great quantities of Buchu, but nothing
helped me- do not believe that one hous-
aud dollars would cover the expense which
medicine and treatment has cost me. Some
months ago l read about Doan's Kidney
Pills, and although my faith in medicine
was greatly shaken, L determined to try
them, and procured a box at the drug store
of johnson & Henderson. 1 began taking
them and felt better right away. had
feeling of relief from my back that | had
not known in many years, and l have suf-
fered everything from it during that time.
| have had a wide experience in taking
medicine, and when l say that Doan's Kid
nrv Pills is the best remedy known to me,
mean it. Think of it--through years of
suffering, life had become misery, and
when would sit down 1 could hardly get
up. Doan's Kidney Pills have put me in
condition all my efforts and the other medi-
cines have taken failed to do. Have not
every reason to praise them?"
For sale by all dealers-price 30 cents per
box. Mailed by Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,
N. Y, sole agents for the United States.
Remember the name, Doan's, and take no
other.
