The story Of permanent cure.
Mrs. John Reeds, 1902 Harwood
street, Mexico, Mo-. says. = was
afflicted with kidney trobule, the
chief symptom being q bearing-down
pain in my hips and loins. The kid
ney secretions passed too frequently,
/ could not rest and was so miser-
able that did not know what to
do. AT last went to Buckner G
Whitney's, now the Criswell Drug
Co., and procured q box OF Doans
Kidney Pills. They gave me relief
at once and before l realized it,, /
was cured"
The above statement was given
lin 1907 and was confirmed by Mrs.
Reeds on November 10th, 1905, In
the following words: Everything
previously said about Doan's Kid
ney Pills still holds good, as
have been free from kidney trouble
during the past two years"
