Finally I got Doan’s Kidney Pills and they cured me of all these ailments.' I have jiever had an attack since.” " (Statement given May 31.1907). On February 29, 1910, Mrs. Moore added: ‘‘We ar.e never without Doan’s in the house. They are the best kidney medicine I know of.” Price rOOc, at all dealers.
