A TWICE - TOLD TALE
One of Interest to Our Readers.
Good news bears repeating,, and
when it is confirmed after a long
lapse of time, even if we hesitated to
believe it at first hearing, we feel se
cure in accepting its truth now. The
following experience of a Plattsmouth
man is confirmed after ten years.
E. M. Buttery, stationary engineer,
Tenth and Walnut streets, Platts
mouth,. says: "Pains caught me in my
hips iso that I could hardly raise a
shovel of coal. At times, there was
lameness across my loins. I had rea
son to believe that the trouble was
caused by disordered kidneys, and I
got Doan's Kidney Pills from the
Crescent Pharmacy. I got quick re
lief." (Statement given June 11, 191G.)
On February 22, 1916, Mr. Buttery
said: "It has been two years since I
have had any trouble with my kidneys
and I have enjoyed good health in
every way. I recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills at every opportunity."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don's
simply ask for a kidney remedy get

Mr. Buttery has twice publicly recom- '
