A Good Reason
Putnam People Can Tell You
 Why It Is So

Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause of disease, and that is why the cures are always lasting. This remedy strengthens and tones up the kidneys, helping them to drive out of the body the liquid poisons that cause backache, headache and distressing kidney and urinary complaints Putnam people testify to permanent cures.
 Mrs. Dennis Cady, of 6s School st., Putnam, Conn.,, says: "For three or four years my husband had severe mains in the small of his back which prevented him from sleeping we'll at night. 4 day or two before storm he always noticed that the pains were worse. and when he caught cold the trouble was also greatly aggravated. Added to this there was an annoying difficulty from the kidney ssecfetions. He used many remedies but got no re- lief uatll he began taking Deans Kid ney Pills, procured at Dresser's drug store. Their use stopped the kidney difficulty and banished the back aches.
