A GOOD FRIEND
A good friend stands by you when
in need. O’Neill people tell how
Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood the
test. H. W. Ritts, carpenter of
O’Neill, endorsed Doan’s over seven
years ago and again confirms the
story. Could you ask for more con
vincing testimony ?
“I had suffered for two years from
weakness in my back and I was in
such a bad way that every time I
stooped, sharp twinges darted through
me,” says Mr. Ritts. “A dull sort of
pain through the small of my back
bothered me day and night. Lots of
times when I sat down it would only
be with great effort T could get up
again. I took only two boxes of
Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from
Gilligan & Stout’s Drug Store, and
they cured me. That cure was made
five years ago and I have never had
any trouble with my back since.”
(Statement given August 25, 1909.)
THE RESULTS LASTED.
On June 20, 1916, Mr. Ritts said:
“I recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills
even more highly than ever, because
the. cure they gave me is still lasting.
I feel that I owe my good health to
having used Doan’s.”
