Augusta people endorse this claim:
c. A. Miron. Of IS Washington Street,
Augusta. Me-, says: II first used Doan's
Kidney Pills in the Fall of 1893 and re-
ceived such good results that I gladly
gave statement recommending them.
Now. although ten years have elapsed, !
just as gladly give them my endorsement.
Prior to using this remedy had a great
deal Of trouble with my kidneys. I had
severe pains through my kidneys and an
aching In the small of my back. The kid
ney secretions were too frequent in action
and the passages were attended with
pain. Doan's Kidney Pills. which can be
procured at Willis r. Partridge's drug
store. soon banished the backache and
regulated the action of the kidney secre-
tons. 1 have had no occasion to use a
kidney remedy for a long time, but al
