TESTED and PROVEN
There Is a Heap Of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon a Well
Earned Reputation.

For months Mankato readers have
seen the constant expression of praise
for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read
about the good work they have done
in this locality. Not another remedy
ever produced such convincing proof
of merit.
j. F. AFRICAN, engineer on the Great
Western railroad, living at l4O3 North
Broad street, Mankato, Mimi, in a
statement made in 1899: Railroad
work is hard on the kidneys and there
are very few men who do not suffer
from some form of kidney complaint.
/ suffered with terrible pains and
weakness across my loins. Every jolt
and jar of the engine seemed to go
straight to that spot. Some times
after coming from a long run l could
scarcely get off my engine. | would
have to hobble home lame and weak.
Then | suffered at night and though
| tried many remedies nothing helped
me but Doan's Kidney Pills. They
cured me entirely and made my back
strong and WELL"
Cured Six Years.
Mr.. AFRICAN confirmed the above
statement in 1905 when he said: Il
can only speak words of praise for
Doan's Kidney Pills. The cure has
been lasting one"
