suffered quite bit with kidney
trouble. The worst source of COM

There was a dull constant ache
through my back just over my kidneys
and often sharp pains would dart
through my kidneys. I could tell the
trouble was caused from my kidneys
as they acted very irregularly. I heard
about Doan's Kidney Pills and began
to use them. They did me great
deal of good, regulating my kidneys
to a normal condition and relieving
