Residents of Topeka Cannot Doubt
What Has Been Twice Proved.
In gratitude for complete relief from
aches and pains Of bad backsfrom dis
tressing kidney ills-thousands have
publicly recommended Doan's Kidney
Pills. Residents OF Topeka who SO
testified years ago, now say their cures
were permanent. This testimony dcu-
bly, proves the worth of Doan's Kid
ney Pills to Topeka kidney sufferers.
B. F. Collins, GA Jefferson ST., To-
pelxa, Kan, says: For a number OF
years I worked on the railroad and the
constant Earring brought on my kidney
trouble. There was g. dull PAIN ncross
my kidneys and my back was weak.
The passages of the kidney secretionS
were often profuse, then again scanty,
plainly showing that my kidneys were
not doing their work properly. Doaus
Kidney Pills procured at Rowley' sDrug
Store, brought me the first relief ever
received" Statement given November
II, 1909
CONFIRMED PROOF.
On April 25, 1910, Mr.. Collins said: IT
can recommend Doans Kidney Pills
Just as highly today as I did in 1908.
Whenever I feel in need of a kidney
medicine, take Doans Kidney Pills
and soon find relief"
