Mrs. M. Jackson, corner of

"Doan's Kidney Pills in my
opinion is a remedy of great
merit. ! have the best of rea-
sons for thinking so The dull
aching pain in the small of my
back had annoyed me for some
time and from its very persist
ency made me miserable. Pro-
curing a box of Doan's Kidney
Pills at G. S. Osborne's drug
store | took a course of treat
ment and the backache ceased.
At the precent time my health
is better than it has been in a
long time. When anyone is
positive that a medicine acts
exactly as represented they
should not hesitate to let others
know about it's value. Other
acquaintance Of mine have al
so used Doan's Kidney Pills
and are very emphatic about
the benefit received"

the hour of nine, at which time

nine widowers Of all varieties
