What Everybody Says.

CHICAGO, ILL.
When I received the
sample Of Doan's
Kidney Pills I was
suffering terribly with
my back, was sick and
unfit to do anything.
The several remedies
I had used, though
highly recommended,
did no good, but
rather irritated the
trouble and made me
worse. Before I had
used up the sample I
was feeling so much
better that I got more
from the drug store.
I could not sleep al
night. Had to get up
six or eight times, and
the urine was so red,
would almost think
it was part blood
therewas athick sand,
like brick-dust sedi-
ment. I cannot tell
one-half that I suf-
fered, nor how good
I feel now that / am
cured by Doan's Kid
ney Pills ; but here I
am, sixty-six years
old, able to do my
own work, feeling
well as I did twenty
years ago, for which I
thank Doan's Kidney
Pills ten thousand
times. Mrs. E. T.
