ALMOST A MIRACLE.

Case No. 1853. Mrs. NJ. listed OF
1907 Strand Street, Galveston, Tex,
who is proprietor of a boarding
house at that address, numbering
among her boarders a dozen medical
students, says: Il 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 e~xcruciating 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 Arglo-Saxon
fails to describe the annoyance and
suffering / endured. The fearful
pain through my body, loss of appe-
tite, loss of sleep, consequent loss or
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
thinner. and so run down physically
shat nothing was left but skin and
bone. All my friends, acquaintance,
and neighbors knew about my crltl-
ca. 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 hat if / did not I'M
dergo an operation / could not live.
Preparations were made, a room Sc
leeted 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 want the
reader to grasp every word OF the
following: A friend of ours, 4 Mr..
MeGaund, 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-
ouested me TO give them a trial. l
had taken so much medicine that l
was more than discouraged, and had
little, if any, faith in any prepare
tion. However. / reasoned if they
did not do me good they could not
possibly make me worse, so l be-
par the treatment. After the third
dosr. I felt something dart across me
like a flash of lightning, and from
tina. moment | began to improve.
The pain in my back and kidneys
positively disappeared, the kidney
secretions became free and natural.
At present / rest and sleep well, my
appetite is good. my weight has in
creased from rs to 155 pounds, and
nv 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 | say l have
been raised from the dead. I am
sati.ied that had it not been for
Doan's Kidney Pills, taken when
| they were. / would have been either
living in the Lake View Cemetery. or
an invalid for the balance of my life.
I viii be only too pleased to give
minnter particulars of my case to any
| enc calling on me, not. of course,
out Of idle curiosity, but If they real
IL have kidney complaint and want
to know what course to pursue to
get relief"
