 house at that address, numbering
 among her boarders dozen medical

 II settled in my kidneys Despite the
 fact that l tried all kinds of medicine
 and was under the care of physicians.
 the eXcruciating twinges and duu
 aching across the small of my back
 refused to leave, and trouble with
 the kidney secretions began to set in
 From then, ordinary Anglo o-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. l grew weaker and thinaer, and so run down physically that nothing was left but skin and
 bone. All my friends, acquaintances. and neighbors knew about my criti- cal condition, and on one occasion
 l was reported dead and they came to see my corpse. At last the doc tors attending me held a consults- ton and agreed that if I did not up- dergo an operation I could not live Preparations were made, a room se- lected at the city hospital, and they even went so far as to have the car riage brought to the door to carry me there.

However, I reasoned if they did not do me good they could not possibly make me worse, so I be- gan the treatment. After the third dose, 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 l rest and sleep we'll, my appetite is good, my weight has in- creased from 11s to 155 pounds, and my flesh is firm and solid. My friends !. actually marvel at the change in my Words cannot express my own feelings. l am not putting 1t too strongly when I say l have been raised from the dead. I ana 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 ly have kidney complaint and want to know what course to pursue te get relief"
