David b. Brown, carpenter of 239
Main street, says: For four or five
years my back and the condition of
my kidneys caused me great deal of
trouble. That the latter was in some
way disturbed was abundantly proven
by the sharp pains in the small of the
back particularly severe if l caught
cold or after extra eXertion during the
day When the attacks were in the
virulent stage if / sat i'll one position
for any'length of time my back was
sure to ache, and as if backache alone
were not enough to aggravate the cr-
binary mortal there was added to it
too frequent action of the kidney Sc
cretions particularly observable at
night. During IN extra severe attack
| went to w. E. Poole's drug store
for Doan's Kidney Pills. / ad used
other remedies before when attacks
occurred but l never received any
thing like the benefit that the treat
ment of Doans Kidney Pills brought.
