Freely Given BY a Laramie Citizen

When one has suffered tortures from
a bad back and found out how the
aches and pains a be removed, adj
vice Is of untold value to friends and
neighbors, particularly when they
know the statement Is absolutely cor
rect. The following advice comes
from a Laramie resident. Charles Nor
ton, now retired of 1O7 Hodgman
street, says: "One day while in the
Laramie Drug Cos. store l got a box
of Doan's Kidney Pills probably more
out Of curiosity than expecting the
medicine to do me any good because
for a number of years a difficulty with
the kidney s%ecretions existed indicat,
ed by irregularity. | noticed when in
this condition my back ached across the
loins and l knew that in some way
ny kidneys were effected. l had an
attack when l began using Doan's Kid.

The United States is now recognized

it is especially good, toning up the
