FIRM FOUNDATION.
Nothing Can Undermine 1t in Grants
Pass.

People are sometimes slow to
recognize true merit, and they can
not be blamed for so many have
been humbugged in the past. The
experience of hundreds of Grants
Pass residents, expressed publicly
through newspapers and other
sources, places Doan's Kidney Pills
on a firm foundation here.
r. A. Leroy, 1905 J St., Grants
Pass, Ore, says: "Off and on for
several years l have used Doan's
Kidney Pills and have always had
good results. / have also induced
others to try Doan's Kidney Pills and
| have noticed the effects. From my
personal experience with Doan s
Kidney Pills, l don't hesitate to say
that they are the best kidney medi-
cine to be had,
The above statement must carry
conviction to the mind of every
reader. Don't simply ask for kid
ney remedy-ask distinctly for
Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that
Mr.. Leroy had-the remedy backed
by home testimony soc all stores.
