The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills, &For North Platte kidney sufferers, ES jJHave made their local reputation Proof lies in the testimony of North Platte people. J. C. McGowan, 321 So. Chestnut St., North Platte, ,Nebr., says: "Six months ago 1 had attack of kidney trouble and suffered from all the aches and pains that accompany J this disease. I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from McDonell & Graves' Drug Store (now Schiller & Co's) and it required only one box to rid me of every symptom of the Itroublu. The cure has proved pormanont, I have also given Doan's Kidney Pills to our little girl who suffered from backache and a kidney weakness and they proved equally satisfactory.''
