A THOROUGH TEST
One to Convince the Most Skeptical
Mexico Reader.

The test of time is the test that
counts.
Doan's Kidney Pills have made their
reputation by effective action.
The following case is typical.
Mexico residents should be con-
WINGED.
The testimony is confirmed - the
proof complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ig-
nored.
Edward Dermody, Clark avenue,
Mexico, says: 1.-TWO years ago I was
suffering from irregularity of my
kidneys and sharp pains in my sides. I
had headaches, too. I used Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at Llewellyn &
Sons Drug Store, and was soon cured
of kidney trouble"
The above statement was given on
November 16, 1911, and on June ID,
1916, Mr.. Dermody said: 81 have never
been bothered by the kidney com
plant since recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills in 1911. I still think
highly of Doan's and indorse them
just as strongly today as I did before"
