Whenever 1 stopped, the pain through my back would be almost unbearable. 1 could not rest at night on account of the trouble and in the morning arose with the same misery cling ing to me. 1 was finally advised by a friend to try Doan's Kidney Pills and decided to do so. pro- cured a box at H. A. Daily's drug store and taking them according to directions, was helped from the first. The contents of one box of Doan's Kidney Pills bene- fited me in every way and l strongly advise their use to others having troubles of this nature.
