tale. The public soon finds out when
misrepresentatlo are made, and
merit alone will stand the test OF

Maysville people appreciate merit,
and many months ago local citizens
publicly endorsed Doans Kidney Pills;
they do 30 still. Would a citizen make
the statement which follows unless
convinced that the article was Just as
represented? Below is testimony such
as the sufferer from kidney ills Is look
ing for.
Fred Dresel, tailor and Justice Of the
peace, 1888 II. Second st., Maysville,
says: II was troubled by inflammation
of the bladder and annoyance from
my kidneys. The kidney secretions
burned in passage and often were re-
tarded. had severe pains across the
small Of my back which greatly inter-
fered with my work. Doan's Kidney
Pills, which | got at Wood & Sons
Drug Store, gave me prompt relief"
Mr. presel gave the above statement
on February 8, 1908, and on November
IA, 1916, he added: 81 have had the
game faith in Doan's Kidney Pills to-
day as ever, for haven't had any trou-
Bile with my kidneys since last recon-
mended them"
Mr.. Dresel is only one Of many Mays
vile people who have gratefully en-
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. II your
back aches--if your kidneys bother
ycu, don't simply ask for kidney rem
edy--ask distinctly for DOAN'S KID
