NO FALSE RETURNS.
Here Are Plains Facts En-
d0rSed by an Akron
Citizen.

Few people will admit failure
while there is chance for argument.
Mary people claim success when no
one rises to dispute. What we want
to do is to place our claims where
doubt is out of the question. We
are doing this every day and Akron
people are beginning to appreciate it.
Many citizens step forward and tes-
tify publicly to the merit of "The
Little Conqueror.n They unhesitat-
ingly tell how burdens have been re-
moved from backs that bore them
patiently for years. Surely more
convincing proof cannot be had than
testimony like the following from an
Akron resident.
Mr.. John Schumacher of POI Hollo-
way ST., employed at the Goodrich
Rubber works, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills procured from Lamparter &
Co.'S drug store on South Howard st.
proved just the remedy needed for
trouble in my back and kidneys. My
work requires me to assume bent
position at times, which was very
hard on my back and affected my
kidneys causing bad feeling in my
head and dizziness. The use of
Doad's Kidney Pills releaved the
pain in my back, strengthened my
kidneys, removed the dizziness and
bad feeling in my head and braced
me up In every way. / highly rec
