says: " When Donn's Kidney Pills were
first brought to my attention I was
suffering from a complication of kid

which usually results from kidney com
plaints, I had n great deal of trouble
with tho secretions, which wero ex
ceedingly variable, sometimes excessive
and at other times scanty. Tho color
was high, nnd passages were accom

Doan's Kidney Pills soon regulated the
kidney secretions, making their color
normal and banished the inflammation
which caused the scalding sensation.
