RESULTS TELL

There Can Be No Doubt About the Results in Rensselaer. Results tell the tale. All doubt is removed. The testimony of a Rensselaer man Can be easily investigated. What better proof can be had? C. Steward, insurance man,' S. Front' and Main Sts., Rensselaer, says: “I get Doan’s Kidney Pills occasionally at A. F. Long’s Drug Store and use them with very good results. I had been subject to serious attacks of kidney disorder before 1 tried them. My . back for a long period was lame andy sore and I was hardly ever free'from a heavy ache in it. Whenever 1 feel any signs of my kidneys not being in a good condition, I use a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they always qtfickly correct such disorder. In that way, I keep free from the old suffering and in good health.” Price 50c, at all' dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr, Steward had. .Foster-Mil-burn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.— Advt.
