Some Pertinent Questions That Can
Be Answered with One Reply.

Why is it that in Skawhegan with a
population of 600 there is only one
medicinal preparation that gives state
menis from residents To back up its rep
reservations?
y by is it that Doan's Kidney Pills do
this in Skowhegan as well as in every
other city and town If any importance
in the Union? Why is it that there are
advertised in every newspaper dozen
remedies and only one that can supply
local proof, local endorsation of its
claims2
The solution of the problem is simple
Only one remedy has the staying and
curing power. Other remedies make all
kinds of gig 4ntie yet futile efforts To get
local proof, but the attempt ends in pro-
dueiDg a statement or two from places
that as far as >kowhegan is concerned
might as well be in the moon.
Here is Skowhegan proof that backs
up the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Mr. Noah +. Reed, contractor, 80 trout
ST., says: 81 always worked hard and
received many hard knock in my time
| WIS carried away for dead on three
occasions and that may be the cause of
the kidney complaint from which | suf-
fered for - years. Aching IN the back
a distressing urinary difficulty; so lame

| found it hard to get out of bed and
twinges when STOPPING were the main
symptoms. | doctored most of the time
and spent good many dollars. Nearly
all the physicians about here prescribed
for me and told me my case was peculiar
After it all, today, am free of all symp-
toms of kidney trouble. There is a very
small spot directly under the spine hich
hurts slightly when | curve my back in
certain way. Sometimes am inclined
to think it has nothing to do with the
kidneys, but was caused by an injury.
If that is the case | can say am entirely
rid of all kidney trouble and give Doan's
kidney Pills credit for this remarkable
change in my condition. When | first
went to Folsom's drug store and got a
box had no more faith in them than |
had in other medicines, but now it's diff
ferent. | have recommended Doan's
Kidney Pills for kidney and urinary dis
eases and endorse them as the only sue
