When Every Move Hurts

Lame every morning, achy and
stiff all day, worse when it's damp
or chilly ? Suspect your kidneys
and try the remedy your neigh
bors use. Ask your neighbors.
Mrs. Robert Heron, Mary ST.,
gave the following statement on
July %, 1909:-"At the time / be-
gan using Doan's Kidney Pills, l
was suffering everything with my
back. 1t hurt me to stoop over
and l couldn't be on my feet for
any length of time without hav-
ing sharp shooting pains through
my loins and back. My head was
also dizzy and panied a great
deal. l used everything 1 heard
of, but could get no relief until /
began with Doan's Kidney Pills,
which l got from Holden's Drug
Store. l noticed an improvement
in my health right away and had
not used quite three boxes when
my health and strength was COM
pletely restored"
Uses DOan's Occasionally
On August z, 1919, Mrs. Her
ron said :-"I gladly confirm my
statement regarding Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Doan's are a grand
remedy and / couldn't get along
without them. l have used them
since and the benefit derived has
always been of the best"
