THE TEST OF MERIT Rensselaer People Are Given Convincing Proof. Nb better test of any article can be made than the test of time and this is particularly true of a kidney medicine. Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood this test and stood it well. What better proof of the -merits of this remedy could you demand, than the statement of a Rensselaer resident who used It successfully and tells of lasting .results. . •Read the following: Jacob R. Wilcox, retired farmer, says: “I ,suffered from backaches and severe pains across my loins. I couldn’t rest day or night and was tired and worn out. The kidney secretions were highly colored and contained sediment. Nothing seemed to relieve me until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills from B. F. Fendig’s Drug Store. They relieved the aches and pains. I could rest better nights and my kidneys were regulated.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 29, 1916, Mr. Wilcox said: "I continue recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills as a reliable medicine. They have never failed to do good work.’’ Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —tne same that Mr. Wilcox had.
