A GOOD FRIEND

| A good friend stands by you when In
need. Americas people tell how Doan's
Kidney Pills have stood the test. Mrs.
Cobb endorsed Doan's over eight years
ago and again confirms the story. Could
you ask for more convincing testimony
Mrs. Alice L. Cobb, $50 Forsyth ST.,
Americas. says: II was subject to at
tacks of pain across the small of my
back. Sometimes I had dull head
aches, felt languid and had but little
energy. l was advised to try Doan's
Kidney Pills and since using them,
have been feeling much better. They
relieved me of the pain in my back and
my kidneys became normal" (State-
ment given March %, 1909.
Lasting Results.
On May 4, 1916, Mrs. Cobb said mo
ore could be more glad than l to
again recommend Doans Kidney Pills.
