Its correctness. Surely you cannot ask

evidence.

pain in the small of my back felt as
II two giants were tearing me apart
and at times I felt so miserable that
l could not stand or walk and was
confined to my bed. Urinary weak
ness set in, especially at night, and
was falling physically every day. At
this time l happened to read an ad
about Doan's Kidney Pills and was
much impressed with the sincerity of
the testimonial, which was much sim
liar to the one l am using now. I
got a box of pills at the Brock & Nc
Comas drug store and they helped
me so that 1 continued using them
until l had taken several boxes. Then
1 could eat sleep and get around
again without suffering the least bit
OF physical pain. I endorse all of
the claims made for Doan's Kidney
