Kidney Pills have been of great bene-
fit to me and in fact, attribute four
teen years Of my life to them. II WIS
in 1902 that l was suffering great
deal. After long use of Doan's Kidney
Pills, ! became well and had no bad
effects for many years. Recently.
however, l noticed my kidneys were
not acting right and my system was
generally weak. l knew It was re-
turn Of the trouble and l didn't lose
any time in getting a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills at Chanslor's Drug Store.
They again gave me the same good re-
suits and l consider them wonderful
medicine"
Mr.. Bramel is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. II your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for DOANS

Bramel had-the remedy backed by
