A MERCILESS JUDGE.
One Who Show. No Favor.

A merciless judge is Father Time.
Before him the weak and the wanting
go to the wall. Only the truth can
stand. For several years the following
statement from a Milford resident has
withstOOd this sternest of all tests.
William R. Hudson, Milford, says :
''My back was in such bad shape that
it required an effort to walk even a
block and was hardly able to move.
My kidneys did not act right and we're
weak. The kidney secretions contained
sediment and / had a sharp, shooting
pain through my loins. Two boxes Of
Doan's Kidney Pills rid me of the trou-
Bile. !" Statement given November 25th,
1909.
Over three years later, Mr.. Hudson
said my kidneys haven't troubled
me since the cure was made.

ply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mr.. Hudson
had. Foster Milburn Co.. Props. Buff
