NOT AN ACHE OR PAIN.

Massena, N. Y. May 25, 1901
Mr. A. J. Phillips:
Dear Sir-I have been going TO
write to you for some time, but
something always happens just at the
time. Well in regard to your Rheu-
matte Cure, l find that in my eleven
wears experience with rheumatism l
have never found anything its equal.
I do not suffer an ache or pain and
have been able to sleep as we'll as
ever since taking the fifth bottle. Mr.
Phillips, l cannot begin to express
the feelings l have for the Famous
A ] P Rheumatic Cure, and if you
know of anyone who is suffering from
rheumatism advise them, if it is in
YOUR power, to try it, and not to
quit with the trial of one bottle or
five as it will surely do the business
if they will give it fair trial. IL
you know of any one that you would
like me to write to, let me know and
I will do so, for if there is anything
/ can do for anyone who is suffering
from rheumatism, want to do it, as
/ know what it is to suffer, having
never seen a well day in eleven years
until / took your cure. Hoping this
will find you well, remain
Respectfully yours,
Is D w Montondo.

A BIT OF ADVICE.
First-Don't Delay. Second
Don't Exnapiment.

Doh " liza PSA
If you suffer from backache;
headache or dizzy spells; if you
rest poorly and are lanquid in
the morning; if the kidney secre-
tions are irregular and unnatural
in appearance, do not delay. In
such cases the kidneys often
need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are es-
pecially prepared for kidney
trouble. They are recommended
by thousands. Can Bradford
residents desire more convincing
proof of their effectiveness than
the statement of a Bradford
citizen who has used them and
willingly testifies to their worth?
Mrs H H Moore, Pleasant St.,
Bradford, says: For the last
several years I have used Doan's
Kidney Pills and have always
found them very good. I have
used them for lame back and
weak kidneys and they never
failed to relieve me. Others of
my family have also used them
with excellent results. I am
glad to recommend them
Price Goo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the
same that Mrs Moore had.
