Statement of an Edgeheld
Resident.

wear, there have been appearing in
these columns statements made by
neighbors, which we have all read
with great interest, and many of us
with great profit. But what we want
to know is, do they stand the great
est test of all-the test of time?
There is conclusive evidence on this
point from an Edgefeld man:
w. D. Dorm, Cedar Row, says: 81

when I was bothered with my kid
neys and bladder. The trouble has
never returned so I can confirm all
have previously said in favor OF
Doan's."
statement given April IL, 1919
On February Z, 1918, Mr.. Dorm
said: "I have every reason to con-
tinue recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills. They cured me of a bad case OF
kidney trouble some years ago."
