CERTAIN RESULTS
Many a Bradford Citizen Knows
How Sure They Are.

Nothing uncertain about the
work of Doan's Kidney Pills in
Bradford. There is plenty of posi-
tive proof of this in the testimony
of citizens. Such evidence should
convince the most skeptical doubt
er. Read the following statement:
j. C. Strong, Pleasant ST., Brad
ford, VT, says: II suffered from
lame back and other symptoms of
kidney complaint for years. l
arose in the morning feeling just
as tired as when l went to bed
and the kidney secretions bother
ed me, being irregular and pain
full in passage. This trouble was
gradually undermining my health
and was rapidly growing weak
er. Doan's Kidney Pills had been
recommended to me and deciding
to give them a trial, l procured
supply. A few weeks after l be-
gan their use I felt better and ]
continued taking them until l was
completely cured. l gladly give
this public account of my expert
ence in the hope that it may prove
of benefit to other persons who
are suffering as 1 have" State
ment given October 2, 1908.
A Willing Confederation.
When Mr.. Strong was interview
ed on June 10, 1911, he said: my
previous endorsement of Doan's
Kidney Pills still holds good. They
have always acted just as repre-
sented in my case and I cannot be
too grateful to them"
