 of Phoenix Readers.


 The facts given below are worth the perusal by all who are anxious about cheir physical condition or are similar iv situated to this resident of Phoenix. IL is a local occurrence and can be thoroughly investigated:
 II. T. Diehl. miner. of 15S E. Alameda St, Tucson. AriZ.. says: My eXpe- rience with Doan's Kidney Pills proved that they are everything claimed for them. In the month of February. 1902, l first felt slight pain across the small of my back. directly over the kid . neys, probably caused by a cold set tied in these organs. It was not se- rious, yet it struck me if neglected it might lead to future trouble. and read ing one night in Tucson paper about Doau's Kidney Pills. my daughter went to Martins drug store for a box. l took them as directed and when I had completed the treatment the pain in my back disappeared. l was so sur prised at the prompt and efficient relief given by Doan's Kidney Pills that | recommended them to a number of my acquaintances and even went so far as to mail a box to a friend of mine living in Orc Blanco, who had kidney trouble"
 Just such emphatic endorsement can be had right here in Phoenix. Drop in to the Brisley Drug Co.'S drug store and ask what their customers report.
