ALMOST A MIRACLE.

Case No. 49,673. Mrs. M. listed OF
t2O7 Strand Street, Galveston, Tex,
who is proprietor of a boarding
house at that address, numbering
among her boarders a dozen medical
students, says: 81 caught cold dur
ing the flood of September, 1900, and
il settled in my kidneys. Despite the
fact that tried all kinds of medicine
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 and
suffering I endured. The fearful
pain through my body, loss of appe-
tite, loss of sleep, consequent loss Of
energy, and, finally, an indication of
complete dissolution compelled me
from sheer agony and pain, to either
lie on the floor and scream, or forced
me into spasms. On such occasions
my husband called in a physician,
whose morphine treatment relieved
me temporarily. I grew weaker and
thinner, and so run down physically
that nothing was left but skin and
bone. All my friends, acquaintance,
and neighbors knew about my criti-
cal condition, and on one occasion
] was reported dead and they came
to see my corpse. At last the doc
tors attending me held a consulta-
ton and agreed that if ] did not TN
dergo an operation ] could not live.
Preparations were made, a room Sc
Iected at the city hospital, and they
even went so far as to have the car
riage brought to the door to carry
me there. / don't know why, but
something told me not to go, and l
absolutely refused. Now I want the
reader to grasp every word of the
following: A friend of ours, a Mr..
McGaund knowing that my kidneys
we're the real cause of the entire
trouble, brought a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills to the house, and re-
quested me to give them trial L
had taken so much medicine that /
was more than discouraged, and had
little, if any, faith in any prepara-
ton. However, I reasoned if they
did not do me good they could not
possibly make me worse, SO l be-
gan the treatment. After the third
dose, I felt something dart across me
like a flash of lightning, and from
that moment I began to improve.
The pain in my back and kidneys
positively disappeared, the kidney
secretiOns became free and natural.
At present I rest and sleep well, my
appetite is good, my weight has in
creased from 118 to 1876 pounds, and
my flesh is firm and solid. My friends
actually marvel at the change in my
appearance. Words cannot express
my own feelings. [ am not putting
it too strongly when I say [ have
been raised from the dead. / am
satisfied that had it not been for
Doan's Kidney Pills, taken when
they were, I 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 particulars of my case to any
one calling on me, not, of course,
out of idle curiosity, but if they real
~ have kidney complaint and want
to know what course to pursue to
get relief
