has doctored, taken bottle after
bottle of medicine which did no
good and he finally drops in to one
that has given him absolute faith,
he naturally becomes enthusiastic
about it. The first few doses of
Doan's Kidney Pills took convinced
me of their curative powers and the
way they cleaned out the kidneys
was remarkable. When | finished

told the druggist that he need never
