Mr.. o. II. Neal, mail carrier between
Mexico and Cant, says: IL had pains
in my back just across my loins, at
times so bad that l could not get up
without taking hold Of something. 1t
chung to me persistently for at least
three years, and when the attacks
we're unduly severe the kidney secre-
tlons were highly colored and con-
tanned a sediment. / went to Buck
ner s. Whitney's drug store for Doan's
Kidney Pills and took them according
to directions. After the second dose
l could notice a change for the better
and when / had completed the treat
ment the pains and aches left me ]
