A LASTING EFFECT.
This Evidence Should Prove
Every Claim.

Relief from the pains and aches of q
bad back is always welcome to every
backache sufferer. but to cure lame,
weak or aching back IS what's wanted.
Cure it so it will stay cured. 1t can be
done. Here's the strongest evidence to
prove it.
Mr.. H. P. Smith, blacksmith, of Elm
street, Amesbury, Mass, says: "Mrs.
Smith, from cold which settled in her
loins, suffered so severely from backache
that she was unable to attend to the or
binary household duties, often finding it
impossible to even make bed for three
months. had read great many state
ments of residents of Amesbury who pos
itively declared that Doan's Kidney Pills
had cured them Of backache and other
symptoms of kidney complaint. This led
ME to make some inquiries, and as a re-
suit Mrs. Smith took thorough course
of the treatment. 1t cured her. 1t is SO
long ago that I am confident the results
are permanent. We never lose an oppor-
tunity of advising others who suffer from
either weakened or over-excited kidneys
to procure Doan's Kidney Pills. and we
know of scores in and around Amesbury
who have taken our advice and were not
only surprised but gratifed at the bene-
fits received.
Doan's Kidney Pills for sale by all
dealers; price so cents box. Mailed on
receipt of price by Foster ilburn Co.,
Buffalo, N. Y, sole agents for the U. S.
Remember the name, Doan's, and take
no substitute.

he did not seem to possess 'elthef

oldest member OF the company, was
voted TO the chair, where ne had me

geologists had a prodigious eapaciiy

had passed when he found nothing
before him but a bare bone. Murch'
