ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Maysyille Citizen.

The public endorsement of local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow-citi-
zens, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thorough
ly convinced or he would not do so.
Telling ones experience when 1t is for
the public good is an act of kidness
that should be appreciated. The fol-
lowing statement given by resident
of Maysville adds one more to the
many cases of Home Endorsement

OF kidney trouble and my kidneys were
irregular in action. The kidney Sc
cretions were too frequent in passage

through the small of my back and my
back was weak. Four boxes of Doan' s
Kidney Pills, which got at Chanslor's
Drug Store, cured me of the COM

Mr.. Taylor is only one Of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If
your back aches-if your kidneys
