years ago noticed slight pain just
over my kidneys. With tho passing
of time it exposed to Inc!ement
weather aggravation of tho aching
followed, and frequently l was scarce
ly able to get around in the morning
despite the fact that I used standard
remedies all guaranteed to cure either
weakened or overexcited kidneys,
knew from the condition of the kid
ney secretion that some medicine was
necessary to sooth or set my kidneys
working normally but was at loss
to know what to use. An advertise
ment about Doan's Kidney Pills led
me to go to Hunter Palmers drug store
for box of them. Before / had
taken half of 1t knew from the indi
cations that the treatment was going
to the root of the trouble and q con-
tinuatiion of it for some time caused
the trouble to disappear. What to me
is of more Importance there has not
been symptom of a recurrence up to
date.
