Mrs. Charles F. Breckel. Of 100 West
Main street, says: Il am very thankful
that / learned about Doan's Kidney
Pills Besides my own experience have
that of a sister and friend. Had the
results obtained Deen confined to only
one there might be grave doubts about
the merits claimed But when the three
of us were benefited we are compelled to
become endorsers. am convinced that
many ladies suffer from some obscure
kidney trouble which pulls them down
without their realizing the cause Of the
dull, heavy feeling, the languor, the de-
preston and the extreme fatigue which
exists after the least exertion. and !
thoroughly believe, should they use
Doan's Kidney Pills, they would be re-
lieved OF their disertess. My sister and
my friend who resides In Des Moines
are even more enthusiastic over the
wonderful curative powers Of Doan's
Kidney Pills than I. My advice to every
resident Of Marshalltown who suffers
form kidney complaint is to procure
Doan's Kidney Pills at Mcbride &
Wills drug store, take them according
to directions and the results will inev-
itably follow"

For the purpose OF this distribution,
and other reasons, II Is made the duty
of the county clerk TO take the tax
