I can truly and conscientiously say that Doan's Kidney Pills stopped my back aching and 1 had attacks of it for vears, some of them so bad that I did not know what to do with myself. When a woman who is annoyed like 1 have been at last finds a means to end that annoyance she is not | only thankful, but is also anxious to do her friends and acquaintances. a good turn by acquainting them of the fact so that they may profit by her experlenc Let me _emphatically -uvise any one su fering from kidney complaint or back- ache to use Doan's Kidney Pills.” For sale by all dealers.
