FIRM FOUNDATION.
Nothing Can Undermine 1t in Brattle-
bOrO.

DOrO.
People are sometimes slow to recognize
true merit, and they cannot be blamed,
for so many have been humbugged in
the past. The experience of many Brat
tleboro residents, expressed publicly
through newspapers and other sources,
places Doans Kidney Pills on firm
foundation here.
L. r. Barnes, 46 Clark St., Brattle-
boro, says: ''Doan's Kidney Pills sure
are a fine medicine. I have used them
for the last few years with excellent
results. When ! first used Doan's my
back was in a very bad condition due
to heavy work which caused a strain.
NV back was lame and sore and / found
it hard to stoop. My kidneys were weak
and the secretions were highly colored,
scanty and burned in passage. / heard
of Doan's Kidney Pills and got box at
the Brattleboro Drug Co. They gave
excellent results and since then 1 have
used Doan's as a kidney tonic. l am
glad to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. "

ply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's
