Jones, O’Neill, says: “I hud been suffering with backache and there was a dull, heavy ache and stiff ness in my back. While sitting still the trouble Iwasn’t so bad but when I went to get up I could hardly stand the sharp, knife-like pains. When I would bend or walk around the misery was terrible. My kidneys, I knew were the cause of the suffering. I got Doan’s Kidney Pills and the first box relieved me. After using a second box the trouble was all gone. I have used Doan’s on two occasions since when I have felt in need of them and they have given the same good results.” (Statement given June 21, 1916.)
