Many citizens of Brattleboro have
good reason to be thankful for bur
dens lifted from aching backs, which

other remedy he had ever taken. His
back troubled him for some time, be-
ing very lame and painful. He could
not obtain his proper rest at night and
as 4 result would arise in the morning
tired and unrefreshed. When he read
about Doan's Kidney Pills he OBJ
tanned box and through their use
was cared. He is now able to rest
wen at night, does not complain of
his back and is in much better
health"

In a political campaign where there

not lose any sleep over them.
