If you suffer from backache— From urinary disorders— Any curable disease of the kidneys, Use a tested kidney remedy. Doans Pills have been tested by thousands. O’Neill 'people testify. Ask your neighbor. Can you ask more convincing proof of merit? R. H. Mills, carpenter, O’Neill, says: “I gave a statement some time ago telling of my experience with Doan’s Pills and since recommending them I have had no further need of a kidney remedy. I still have a word of praise for Doan’s, however, because of the very satisfactory relief they gave me from backache and lameness in my back that I had when my kidneys were in a disordered condition.” FOUR YEARS LATER, Mr. Mills said: “It has been ten years since I had need of a kidney remedy and I have been strong and healtny ever since Doan’s cured me.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Pills—the same that Mr. Mills had. Foster-Milburni Co., Mfrs., Buf falo, N. Y.
