The furnishing of the veranda as a

for many years. The pain in my back
became worse and worse until it was
daily burden that interfered with every
duty. was much afflicted with head
aches and dizzy spells and was unable
to rest well nights. In May 1909 after
using Doan's Kidney Pills 1 made a
statement for publication declaring
that they had entirely relieved me of
the pain in my back. Ihave since then
had years time in which to study the
effects of the medicine, and while I
have had slight touches of the trouble
since, the use of the pills has always
driven away all signs of the disorder
and l have become convinced of the
fact that the first treatment was prac-
tically permanent in its effects, and l
know that box of Doan's Kidney Pills
kept on hand is sufficient guarantee
against any suffering from the kidneys
or back. 1 should advise every sufferer
to take Doan's Kidney Pills, and know
that they will be surprised and pleased
with the result"
