Residents Enthusiastic.

No wonder scores of Edgefeld
citizens grow enthusiastic. 1t is
enough to make anyone happy to
find relief after years of suffering.
Public statements like the following
are but truthful representations of
the daily work done in Edgefeld by
Doan's kidney pills.
Mrs. Hattie Dunn, Edgefeld, S.
c., says: Il suffered from kidney
complaint for several years and my
health was so badly run down that
I could hardly get around. The kid
ney secretions were in bad shape
and caused me no end of trouble.
On various occasions l have used
Doan's kidney pills and have re-
ceived a world of good from them.
They have helped all my kidney ills
and have made me feel like another
person. Pains in my back and sides
disappeared when l used Doan's
kindey pills and my kidneys again
did their work as they should. This
remedy is without doubt the best
one to be had for kidney complaint. "
