weak kidneys and bad backs want a
kidney remedy that can be depended
upon. Doan’s Kidney Pills is a medi-
cine for the kidneys only, and one
that is backed by willing testimony
of Coleman people. Here’s a case:
R. D. Johnston, Coleman, Texas,
says: “Some years ago I began to
have pains across my back for which
I tried several kinds of remedies and
consulted doctors. Nothing seemed to
bring me any great benefit until I
took Doan’s Kidney Pills, which were
recommended to me. Having used
so many other kinds of medicine, I
found it took some time before Doan’s
-'•^y PiUs acted satisfactorily, but
after u^!ng-began to find
relief. I continued taking 'tMiivasiv.
they cured me. I have since enjoyed
good health with no symptoms of a
return attack. I am pleased to rec-
ommend this remedy to my friends.”

cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,

causes the misery into the bowels
where it is expelled. Price 50c. Sold
