proof:
John Mackey, Third street, corner
Dyke street, Plattsmouth, Neb., says
"Two and one-half years ago my
back became very lame and I had
frequent headaches. The kidney se
cretions contained a sediment and a
frequent desire to void them caused
me much annoyance. I had been un
able to find a remedy that would
bring me any permanent relief and I
was at a loss to know what to do
Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills highly
recommended In the local papers, I
procured a box from Gerlng & Co.'s
drug store. This remedy brought
me immediate relief and at the pres
ent time, my back does not bother
me in the least. I am very grateful
to Doan's Kidney Pill for what they
have done for me."
