After reading of so many people in

Park River resident leaves no room
for doubt on this point:
81 was subject to attacks of kidney
trouble, says P. ]. Ostboe, photo
grapher of Park River. 81 had severe
pains in the small of my back; moth
ing brought me as quick and positive
relief as Doan's kidney pills; they
saved me a great deal of suffering
and l gladly give them the credit
they deserve. l have since been free
from kidney complaint. All l have
ever said praising Doan's kidney
pills still holds good.
