Stuffings, Prop. blacksmith & wagon shop, 801 W. Ohio St., says: “It has been quite awhile since I have needed or used Doan’? Kidney Pills. They put my kidneys in good condition. I .had backache, soreness and lameness and my kidneys acted too often. They helped me. They are a well known medicine and I al- ways advise anyone having kidney trouble to use_them.” . .
