 Know they are for kidney backache- and for other kidney ills?
 If you don't, some Canaan people do.
 Read case of it:
 James O. Snyder, Canaan, Conn.,, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills proved very satisfactory in my case. My kidneys were disordered for some time and l often had difficulty in voiding the kid ney secretions. When the trouble was its height, my back ached intensely and after I stopped, it was hard for me to assume an erect position. Doan's Kid ney Pills were finally brought to my attention and procured supply. In a short time after beginning to use them, received relief. Doan's Kidney Pills proved so satisfactory that take pleasure in recommending them to other kidney sufferers. .- .
