perience of a resident Of Marshalltown.
what can 1t be?
Mrs. C. J. Kunns, Of POS South Center
street, says: 1.-THE benefit Mr.. Kuhns
received from the use of Doan's Kid
ney Pills causes him to value the
remedy very ilgnly. A strain from lift
ing deranged the action of the kidneys.
He had a good dear or pain in his back
and the trouble was aggravated by his
work. Painting seems to be particu-
iarly conducive to kidney ailments.
When Doan's Kidney Pills first became
known to him he procured box at Nc
Bride & Wills drug store. The use re-
lieves- the pains in his back very
quickly and in short time demon
strated that the remedy is all that is
claimed for the preparation, and Is of
great value"
