After reading of so many people
in our town who have been cured by
Doan's Kidney Pills, the question nat
urally arises: "Is this medicine equal
ly successful in our neighboring
towns?" The generous statement of
this Sleepy Eye resident leaves no
room for doubt on this point.
Mrs. j. G. Pelzl, 307 Maple St.,
Sleepy Eye, Mimi, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills did me great deal of good
curing me of backache and kidney
trouble. l gave this remedy my en-
dorsement at the time it helped me
so much and / am glad to again rec
ommend it to people troubled with
backache or other kidney ailments"
