A CHARACTERIZATION.
OF Interest 10 Willmar Readers.

For months Willmar citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, by
residents of this locality.
Would these prominent people
recommend a remedy that had not
proven reliable?
Would they confirm their state
ments after years had elapsed if
personal exeperince had not shown
the remedy to be worthy of endorse
ment? :
No stronger proof of merit can
be had than cures that have stood
the test of time.
The following statement should
carry conviction to the mind of
every Willmar reader. -. .
Mrs. William G.. Colwell, Mar
shall Ave.. Litchfeld, MIMI. says:
The public statement gave in
1907, recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills was correct in every detail.
We used this remedy at that time
in our home with the best of re-
suits. Since then l have taken
Doan's Kidney Pills myself and l
am glad to say that they have
brought relief from backache and a
feeling of languor.
For sale by all dealers. Price so
cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffa-

United States. Ill
Remember the name-Doan's-
and take no other.
