Residents of Connecticut Cannot Doubt What Has Been
 Twice Proved.

In gratitude for complete relief from achesIand pains of bad backs-from dis. dressing kidney ills-thousands have pub lcly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills. People who so testified years ago, now say their cures were permanent. This testi- mony doubly proves the worth of Doan's Kidney Pills to kidney sufferers.
 Mrs. Winifred Jenkins of 42 Fifth St. Ansonia, Conn.,, says;
 "I am willing to substantiate the former statement made recommending Doan's s Kidney Pills. Their use cured me of sharr cutting pains In the back and lameness of the limbs, dizzy spells which made everything black and dark about me, and general weakness due, 1 think, to a debiliated and weakened condition of the kidneys. I have been asked by. many people about Doan's Kidney Pills and have always assured them that for kidney trouble they cannot be equaled."
