KIDNEY PILLS.
8Tm ST. SOUTHWEST.

Mrs. Mollie Davis Of 4O8 9Th ut.
s.w. says: II suffered for. long
time with constant pain In my
back and used many different
remedies trying to rid myself of
1t. but until I got Doan's Kidney
Pills I received little benefit. They
removed the pain. and I have not
had the backache since I used
them. Although had never been
confined to my bed with this
trouble always had that nasty,
dull pain, and many q time felt
as though ought to be in bed.
When / did try to rest, however,
It did me no good. for the pain
was just as severe when 7 was
lying down as when ! was hurry
Ing about. I thought these pains
were rheumatism, and ] often
used liniment In attempting to
find relief. but 1t never helped me
much. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised. went to Stevens
Pharmacy. got q box and began
using them. From the pleasing
manner In which they drove the
4 backache away ! know now that
the trouble was due to my kid
neys. As stated before. I have
not been troubled in this way
since"

Richard Young. retired. of $3.50

II was a kidney sufferer for many
years and tried about nearly
every remedy, but nothing did me
any good until I got Doan's Kid
ney Pills. I had never been con-
fined to my bed. but suffered ter
ribly with pains in my loins,
which made life a burden to me
all day and all night. The kidney
secretions were also much disco1-
ored, both in color and consist
ency. and were decidedly irregu-
lar My back ached at night when
I went to bed and ought to have
been sleeping. and the loss OF rest
had q bad effect on my health.
Doctors prescriptions seemed to
do me no more good than the pre-
pared remedies which I used. but
when I got Doan's Kidney Pills at
Stevens Pharmacy and began
using them ! was almost imme-
diately relieved. I have no back
ache now, my kidneys are acting
in q natural and healthy manner
and the secretions are clear and
free from sediment, besiues being
easily controlled. Doan's Kidney
Pills are fine. and I cannot say
too much in praise OF them"
