FIRM FOUNDATION.
Nothing Can Undermine 1t in
Tooeka.

People are sometimes slow to recog-
nize true merit and they cannot be
blamed for so many in the past have
been humbugged. The experience OF
hundreds of Topeka residents expressed
publicly through newspapers and other
sources places Doan's Kidney Pills on
a firm foundation.
Mr.. Henry Page. No. 3o2 East Fourth
street, resident of Topeka for twenty
years says: "A five weeks attack of
grippe left me as it does many others
with a weakness of the kidneys. The
pain across the loins and the trouble
with the kidney secretions, particularly
noticeable at night, were, to say the
least, annoying and I thought if Doan's
Kidney Pills performed half what they
promised the treatment might help me.
I procured a box at Rowley & Snow
drug store, corner of Sixth street and
Kansas avenue. and took it. The treat
ment was very satisfactory To say I
endorse Doan's Kidney Pills is mild
way of expressing my opinion of that
