 Can Alaskan residents demand further proof than the following tes- timonial?
 E. G. Beaumont, 6S5 G st., Eureka, Cal, says: For a long time I had a bad case of kidney and bladder trouble. The kidney secret ions were too frequent in passage and I suffered a great deal from backache that was especially severe at night. l applied plasters to my back and used other remedies, but without receiving any noticeable benefit. Happening to see an ar ticle in the papers about Doan's Kidney Pills, procured the rem edy. I began using 1t and in a short time my kidneys were restor- cd to a normal condition.
