that I could not stand thorn. I tried a
great' many medicines'but they did me
no good. I then got Doan's Kidney
Pills at Watson's drug store, took thorn
for ono month, and inn completely cured.
I regard the pare as a remarkable testi-
mony to the virtues of Doan's Pills, and
am only too glad to recommend them' to
all sufferers from kidney trouble in any
