That Deans Kidney Pills prdmptly and effectually cure kidney complaints is substantiated not only in this particular case. but by all who nave given them fair trial. Testimony like wise shows that you do not have to take them indefinitely to be cured.
 Walter McLachlin, a machine hand. employed at J. Holiday & Sons blaming mill, Wheeling, W. Va, address S0s2 Ja- cob Street. says: Had l not used Doan s Kidney Pills when I did l would not be alive now. I was in a terrible condition. end although I took quarts of medicine 1 got no better, but worse. Frienos spoke of my bad appearance and thous- ands knew about it. I could hardly get around. and felt and looked like dead man more than a living one. Doan Kidney Pills were a blessing to me, hait a box relieved me, three boxes entirely cured me and now I feel as though my back was as strong as that of any horse in Wheeling I would rather have box of Doan's Kidney Pills than the services of all the doctors in the State."
