UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY

Time is the test of truth. And
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test in Abilene. No Abilene resident
who suffers backache or any annoy

testimony.
Mrs. L. J. Rossiter, 415 w. First
St., Abilene. says: my back ached
terribly and ] couldn't stoop or lift
without suffering severe pain. Nights
1 could hardly turn over in bed and
mornings / felt all tired out. The

and headaches. Whenever l caught
cold or overworked the pains be-
came worse. Nothing helped me un-
til l bought some Of Doan's Kidney
Pills from C. E. Northcraft & Co.
Three boxes rid me Of all signs Of
kidney complaint"
Nearly five years Mrs. Rossiter
added: "I have had no need of a
kidney medicine since took Doan's
Kidney Pills. The cure they made
has been permanent"
