One' ef 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
secure in accepting its truth now
The following .experience of a
Plattsmouth man is confirmed after
ten years.
E. M. Butterj, stationary engin
eer, Tenth & Walnut Sts., Platts
mouth, says: "Pains caught me in
my hips so that I could hardly
raise a shovel of coal. At times,
there was lameness across my loins.
I. had reason to believe that the
trouble was caused by disordered
kidneys and I got. Doan's Kidney
Pills from the Crescent Pharmacy.
I got quick relief." (Statement
given" June 11, 1906.)
On February 22, 1916, Mr. But
tery 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 at every opportunity."
