Mrs. A. Lind, of l Chestnut street,
Brattleboro, says: MY experience with
Doan's Kidney Pills proved them to be
the finest remedy of the kind I ever used.
For five years l suffered with a dull.
heavy pain across the back, so bad at
times that I could hardly get around to
do my work. If l attempted to rise
quickly from a chair a sharp pain would
take me across the kidneys and extend
up between my shoulder blades. I had
frequent headaches, and a cold always
made the whole trouble worse 1 saw
Doan's Kidney Pills highly recommended
and procured a box at F. H. Holden's
drug store They proved to be just what
l needed and I noticed an improvement
after the first few doses In a short time
my back felt better and stronger in every
way. l know of many of my friends
who have used Doan's Kidney Pills with
equally good results"
