A CASE OF IT.
Manuy More Like It In Astoria.

The following case Is but one of
many similar occurring daily In AS
toria. 1t Is an easy matter to verify
Its correctness. Surely you cannot ask
for better proof than such conclus-
i've evidence.
w. r. Mcintosh whose place of resi-
dence is at sos Harrison avenue, says:
For years l suffered very much from
lameness and soreness across the
small of my back. To turn in bed gave
me painful twinges and when / was
not working but simply standing
around there was constant aching
over my hips. The kidney secretions
gave me no end of trouble. 4 often
thought had gravel, so painful were
the secretlons in passing. ! read
about Doan's Kidney Pills and got a
box at Charles Rogers drug store on
Commercial street. On taking them
/ soon noticed an improvement in my
condition and the pain across my back
was soon wonderfully relieved. Though
I did not take Doan's Kidney Pills as
regularly as / should have done they
did me a great deal of good"
For sale by all dealers; price 30
cents. Foster Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.
Y, sole agents for the United States.
Remember the name Doan's and take
no other.
