GONE FOR GOOD.
No Need to Fear a Return,

The pain returns to the aching back
when you think you are well rid of it.
No need to fear such a return If
Doan's Kidney Pills are used. They
make bad backs well and weak backs
strong and keep them so. The testi-
mony of Danville people proves this
claim a fact You can readily verify
such proof as the following:
Thomas Lewis, retired, of G15 Mill
St, says: Il can only Ieiterate my
former statement made in 1896 about
Doan's Kidney Pills They cured me
eight years ago and the cure then
made has been lasting and have had
no return of my old trouble Before
using them | was greatly troubled
with backache | used everything re-
commended but got no relief. The lame
ness over the kidneys and the terrible
aching continued in spite of every
thing that | did and there seemed to
be no relief for me. | learned about
Doan's Kidney Pills and read the state
ments made by people who had used
them, and concluded to try them they
