WORK THAT TELLS.
Plenty of It Has Been Done Right
 Here in NeWt0Wn.

Cures that last are cures that tell. To thoroughly know the virtues of medicine you must investigate the cures and see if they prove perma- nent. Deans kidney Pills stand this test and plenty of proof exists right here in Newtown. People who testi- fled years ago to rellef from back aches, kidney and urinary disorders, now declare that relief was perma- nent and the, cure perfect. How can any Newtown sufferer longer doubt the evidence?
 Oscar Pitzschler, West St., New town, Conn.,, says: About four years ago suffered from kidney complaint in a severe form. The kidney secre- tions were scanty and otherwise un- natural and I had an almost con- stant pain in my back. A neighbor told me to try Doan's Kidney Pills and I did so. I felt better from the first and continued taking the remedy until I was cured. I have never been troubled since then and have told several other parties about Doan's Kidney Pills"
