It grew worse grad ually until 1t was almost impossible for me to get out of bed mornings. ] continued in this condition for nearly a year, trying medicines prescribed for relief, but without avail. Finally happened to hear of Doan's Kidney Pills. and procuring some at sevin & Sons Drug Store, found them just what I needed. My kidneys are now acting regularly. the pains have left and I can get around all right" (Statement given July P, 1911.)
 On May IS, 1916, Mrs. Brown said: At times when a cold settles on my kidneys and causes my back to ache I use Doan's- Kidney Pills and they never fail to give me prompt relief
