Almost 4 Miracle,

Case No. s49.763. Mrs. NJ. listed, of
1901 Strand Street, Galveston, Tex,
who Is proprietor Of a boarding house
at that address, numbering among her
Doarders a dozen medical students,
says: Il caught cold during the flood
OF September, 1900, and it settled in
my kidneys. Despite the fact that l
tried all kinds Of medicine and was
under the care Of physicians, the ex-
circulating twinges and dull aching
across the small Of my back refused to
leave, and trouble with the kidney Sc
cretions began to set in. From then,
ordinary Anglo-Saxon fails to describe
the annoyance and suffering endured.
The fearful pain through my body, loss
OF appetite, loss Of sleep, consequent
loss of energy, and, finally, an indica-
ton 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 occa-
sions my husband called in a physician,
whose morphine treatment relieved me
temporarily. I grew weaker and thin
ner, and so run down physically that
nothing was left but skin and bone.
All my friends, acquaintances and
diti0n. and on one occasion | was re-
ported 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
could not live. Preparations were
made, a room selected at the city hos
pital, and they even went so far as to
have the carriage brought to the door
to carry me there. I don't know why.
but something told me not to go, and
I absolutely refused. Now want the
readers to grasp every word of the
following: A friend Of ours, a Mr.
McGaund, knowing that my kidneys
were the real cause Of the entire trou-
BILE, brought a box Of Doan's Kidney
Pills to the house, and requested me
to give them trial. I had taken so
much medicine that I was more than
discouraged, and had little, if any,
faith in any preparation. However, I
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 fash Of lightning, and from
that moment began to improve. The
pain In my back and kidneys positively
disappeared, the kidney secretions be-
came free and natural. At present I
rest and sleep well, my appetite is
good, my weight has increased from
11S to 155 pounds, and my flesh is
firm and solid. My friends actually
marvel at the change in my appear
ance. Words cannot express my own
: feelings.'I am not putting it too strong
~ when l say I have been raised from
the dead. I am satisfied that had it
not been for Doan's Kidney Pills,
taken when they were, 1 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 really
have kidney complaint and want to
know what course to pursue to get re-
lief"
