WORDS FROM HOME.
Statements That May Be Investigate
ed-TestimOny of Leon Citizen.

When a Leon citizen comes to the
front telling his friends and neigh
bors of his experience, you can rely
on his sincerity. The statements OF
people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doans Kidney Pills. Such
testimony is convincing. 1nvestiga-
ton proves it true. Below is a
statement of a Leon resident. No
stronger proof of merit can be had.
R. L. Marvin, painter and paper
hanger, School street, Leon, Iowa,
says: Il and others of my family
have used Doan's Kidney Pills ON
different occasions for kidney COM
plant and lame and weak back and
