McFarland, 306 Third street, Plattsmouth, says: "Several years ago I was doing some heavy lifting which strained my back and kidneys. This put me in such bad shape I had to walk with a cane for a num ber of weeks and I couldn't straight en up. I felt as though there was a heavy weight across my back that was just holding me down. I could not sleep nights and it felt as though I had been struck in the back with a tdiarp knife. My kidneys acted ir regularly and the secretions were highly colored and burned in pas sage. I was told to try Doan's Kid ney Pills and after the first box my condition was much improved. I put my. cane away and was able to walk straight. I used four boxes from Fricke & Co's. drug store and they made a cure that has lasted ten years. My back and kidneys have never bothered me since and I be lieve Doan's will do the same for other people if they will give them a fair trial." 60c. at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs..
