WORK THAT TELLS
Plenty Of It Has Been Done Right
Here In Maysville.

To thoroughly know the virtues OF
a medicine you must investigate its
work. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this
test, and plenty of proof exists right
here In Maysville. People who testified
years ago to relief from backache, kid
ney and urinary disorders, now give
confirmed testimony-declare the re-
suits have lasted. How can any Mays
vile sufferer longer doubt the evil
|dence?
Henry S. Gallenstein, blacksmith,
124 w. Third St., Maysville, says: my
kidneys were out of order and l had
pains through my back. Doans Kid
ney Pills put an entire stop to the
pains and my kidneys became we'll.
Statement given January 9, 1922
RESULTS THAT REMAIN
OVER FOUR YEARS LATER, or on
November IA, 1916, Mr.. Gallenstein
said: Il haven't had any need of a
kidney medicine since l last recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills. The bene-
fit they gave me has been permanent
Mr.. Gallenstein is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for kidney rem
edy-ask distinctly for DOAN'S KID
NEY PILLS. the same that Mr. Gallen-
stein has twice publicly recommended

mony. SOC all stores. Foster Milburr
