THIS IS CERTAIN
The Proof That Point Pleasant
Readers Cannot Deny.

What could furnish stronger evil
dence of the efficiency of any remedy
than the test of time: Thousands of
people testify that Doan's Kidney
Pills cure permanently.
Home endorsement should prove
undoubtedly the merit of this remedy.
Years ago your friends and neighbors
testified to the reEer they had deriv-
ed from the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills. They now confirm their testi-
monials. They say time has com
pleted the test.
Mrs. W. S. Tully, rear of Spencer
Hotel, Point Pleasant, W. Va, says;
81 have used Doan's Kidney Pills at
different times for years and from my
experience, have no hesitation in
saying that they act Just as repre-
scented. In March 1905, l gave a
public statement recommending

secretions were irregular and painful
in passage and often had spells of

Pills at Hoof-s drug store and it took
them only short time to relieve me.
