PLAIN QUESTIONS
TO KEOKUK PEOPLE
Every keokuk Reader Will Admit the
Soundness Of the Logic.

Would Keokuk people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as they do if the
medicine were not reliable? Would
they confirm their statements after
years have elapsed If their expert
ences did not show the remedy to be
deserving of it? Statements like the
following must carry conviction to
the mind of every reader:
Mrs. Mary LANCE, 209 Bank street.
Keokuk, says: Whenever 1 get a
cold, it is sure to settle in my back,
and for several days it is misery for
me to get around. At such times
sharp pains dart through my kidneys.
During one of these spells, began
using Doan's Kidney Pills and they
soon put me In good shape"
OVER EIGHT YEARS LATER,
Mrs. LANCE said: 'Doan's Kidney
Pills have cured me of kidney weak
ness and 1 gladly recommend them
to others"
