ALMOST A MIRACLE.

Case No. 49,763.-Mrs. M. listed. or
1907 Strand street. Galveston, Tex.
who is proprietor of boarding house
at that address, numbering among
her boarders a dozen medical stu
dents, says II caught cold during the
food of September, 1900, and 1t set
tied in my kidneys. Despite the fact
that tried all kinds of medicines and
was under the care of physicians, the
excruciating twinges and dull aching
across the small of my back refused
to leave, and trouble with the kidney
secretions began to set in. From
then, ordinary Anglo-Saxon fails to
describe the annoyance aid suffering
l endured. The fearful pain through
my body, loss of appetite, loss of
sleep, consequent loss OF energy,
and, finally, indication of complete
dissolution compelled me. from sheer
agony and pain, to either lie on tho
floor and scream. or forced me into
spasms. On such occasions my hus-
band called in physician, whose NOR
phine treatment relieved me tempo
rally. grew weaker and thinner. and
30 run down physically that nothing
was left but skin and bone. All my
friends, acquaintances and netghbors
knew about my critical condition, and
on one occasion l was reported dead
and they came to see my corpse. AT
last the doctors attending me held
consultation and agreed that II l DID
not undergo an operation l could not
live. Preparations were made. q
room selected at the city hospital, and
they even went SO far as to have the
carriage brought to the door to carry
me there. don't know why, but
something told me not to go, and alb
solutely refused. Now | want the
reader to grasp every word of the fol-
lowing: A friend of ours, Mr. Nc
Gaund, knowing that my kidneys
were the real cause of the entire
trouble. brought box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills to the house, and requested
me to give them trial. | had taken
SO much medicine that ! was more
than discouraged, and had little, il
any. faith in any preparation. How
ever, l reasoned if they did not do me
good they could not possibly make me
worse, SO began the treatment After
the third dose, felt something dart
across me like a flash OF lightning.
and from that moment | began to i'm
prove. The pain in my back and kid
neys positively disappeared, the kid
ney secretions became free and nat
ural. At present rest and sleep well,
my appetite Is good, my weight has
increased from 11S to 1856 pounds,
and my flesh is firm and solid. My
friends actually marvel at the change
in my appearance. Words cannot ex-
press my own feelings. l am not put
ting it too strongly when say have
been raised from the dead. / am sat
isfied that had it not been for Doan's
Kidney Pills, taken when they were,
l would have been either lying in the
Lake View Cemetery. or an invalid for
the balance Of my life. l will be only
too pleased to give minuter particu-
lars of my case to any one calling on
me, not, of course, out of idle curios-
ity. but if they really have kidney
complaint and want to know what
course to pursue to get relief"
