For months Okolona readers
have seen the constant express
sion of praise for Doan's Kidney
Pills, and read about the good
work they have done in this
locality. What other remedy
ever produced such convincing
proof of merit?
George W. Elkin, 208 w.
Jefferson St., Aberdeen, Miss,
says: Il suffered for three or
four years from kidney COM
plant. My back was very pain
full, especially in the morning
and | could hardly get up.
Sharp twinges often darted
through my kidneys and the
kidney secretions were highly
colored and contained sediment.
l was finally advised to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. They
made me feel like a different
person. Doan's Kidney Pills
cured me three years ago and
although l have had no serions
trouble since, | occasionally take
a few doses as a preventive.

former public endorsement. "
